Governors Ball 2026: Lorde, Stray Kids, A$AP Rocky to Headline

Lorde, Stray Kids, and A$AP Rocky lead the lineup for Governors Ball 2026. The music festival will return to New York’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 5 through 7.

Lorde will headline the first night of the festival on June 5, marking her first appearance at the event since headlining with Melodrama in 2017. The day will see additional performances from Baby Keem, Katseye, Pierce the Veil, Mariah the Scientist, the Dare, 2Hollis, King Princess, Flipturn, Audrey Hobert, Turnover, Absolutely, and more.

On June 6, Stray Kids will close out the night following sets from Kali Uchis, Major Lazer, Blood Orange, Wet Leg, Ravyn Lenae, Del Water Gap, Spacey Jane, Flowerovlove, and more. It marks the K-Pop act’s debut at the festival. “Of course we recognize the difference in the crowds we’re playing to now, but our mindset of how we approach the concert has not changed from our debut,” Seungmin told Rolling Stone last year. “We’re grateful that we are still doing shows and people come to see us, and we’re proud to have come this far.”

The weekend is set to come to an end with a headlining performance from A$AP Rocky, who will release his long-awaited fourth album Don’t Be Dumb later this month. Throughout the day, the festival’s three stages will host appearances from Jennie, Dominic Fike, Geese, Clipse, Japanese Breakfast, Holly Humberstone, Rachel Chinouriri, Between Friends, Slayyyter, Hemlocke Springs, and more.
