Lorde set the tone for an exciting summer as Governors Ball slowly revealed what fans could expect in 2026.
The popular music festival returns to New York’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 5-7, bringing together major global stars and up-and-coming artists for three packed days of music and emotion.
The first night of the festival belonged to Lorde, who headlined on June 5.
The singer’s performance marked her return to the Governors Ball after many years, leaving longtime fans especially emotional.
However, the opening day also featured artists such as Baby Keem, Katseye, Pierce the Veil, Mariah the Scientist, King Princess and Flipturn, who kept the audience lively from start to finish.
June 6 marked a special moment for K pop fans as Stray Kids closed out the night with their first ever performance at the festival.
They followed strong sets from Kali Uchis, Major Lazer, Wet Leg and Ravyn Lenae.
In addition, when talking about their journey, Seungmin said, “Of course we recognize the difference in the audiences we play to now, but our mindset of how we approach the concert hasn’t changed since our debut.
We are grateful that we are still doing shows and people are coming to see us and we are proud to have come this far.”
The final day ended with A$AP Rocky headlining the festival as his performance came just before the release of his new album Don’t Be Dumb.
