Governors Ball will return to Randall's Island this summer for their 6th annual three-day fest, and they've just announced the day-by-day lineups, which are huge. This is despite being up against way more corporate festivals this time around, like AEG Live's Panorama (aka Coachella East), which will hit up the Island on the weekend of July 22nd.
Here's what you need to know...
A three-day pass to the festival will cost you $330 total. There are also VIP passes ($750 total), and Super VIP passes ($2100 total). To give you an idea, that last one includes VIP viewing areas, backstage access, open bar, some free food from vendors, and concierge service. For a one-day GA ticket, that'll cost you $105 + fees, or for VIP $240 + fees. Transportation tickets are also available (or you can get there on your own—it's not that hard).
If you can only handle one day you'll have to choose between the following headliners: The Strokes/Beck/Robyn, The Killers/M83/Haim, or Kanye/Death Cab for Cutie/Chvrches. Here are the full lineups for each day—pre-sale is going on now, tickets will be available to the general public on Thursday, February 11th.
