Lorde, A$AP Rocky and the K-pop boy band Stray Kids are set to headline the 2026 Governors Ball, the music festival announced on Tuesday. Known as Gov Ball for short, the signature New York City music festival is back for its 16th year and returns to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens from June 5 to 7.

Additional artists slated to perform at this year’s music festival include first-time Gov Ball performers Jennie, Katseye, Audrey Hobert, Ravyn Lenae, King Princess, Rachel Chinouriri and Wet Leg. Also hitting the stage during the three-day extravaganza are Baby Keem, Kali Uchis, Blood Orange, Del Water Gap, Dominic Fike, Japanese Breakfast and Holly Humberstone.

The 2026 Governors Ball comes on the heels of a milestone year for several of these artists. Lorde made her triumphant return to music in 2025, after a four-year hiatus, with the release of her highly anticipated single “What Was That,” followed by her fourth album, Virgin. She later embarked on her five-month Ultrasound World Tour, which kicked off in Austin, Texas, and is scheduled to conclude in Luxembourg later this year.

For A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, 2025 marked the year he was acquitted of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in Los Angeles, following an incident in 2021. The Grammy nominee’s year was also filled with fashion and film: In addition to cochairing the Met Gala and receiving the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, A$AP Rocky appeared in the Golden Globe-nominated film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You alongside Rose Byrne. The rapper also tapped Winona Ryder to star in the music video for his latest single, “Punk Rocky,” which was released on Monday.

First-time Gov Ball performers Stray Kids achieved major global success in 2025. The group, consisting of members Felix, Hyunjin, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Han, Seungmin, I.N. and Changbin, embarked on their Dominate World Tour last year. The tour’s U.S. leg grossed $76.2 million, a record for K-pop acts, according to Billboard. In 2025, Stray Kids claimed their eighth No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 with the mixtape DO IT.

Spotify teamed up with the music festival this year to launch a new in-app experience that showcases “the unique overlap between user listening history and the 2026 Gov Ball lineup.” App users will also be assigned a customized “festival persona,” like the Wristband Veteran, the Crowd Favorite or the Seeker.

Fans can now sign up for the 2026 Gov Ball presale, which begins Thursday, Jan. 8, at 10 a.m. ET. One-day tickets start at $139, while two- and three-day general admission tickets start at $265 and $319, respectively. Ticket prices will increase when the public sale begins at 11 a.m. ET.
