There’s definitely no other US music festivals rising quicker in popularity than Governors Ball Music festival in New York City.  After expanding to 3 days and delivering a powerful lineup in 2013, they’ve come back in 2014 with yet another strong lineup. Headliners include OutKast, Jack White, The Strokes, and Vampire Weekend.  Also sharing the top of the lineup is Skrillex, Axwell x Ingrosso, Phoenix, Interpol, Disclosure, and Foster The People. What sets Governors Ball apart from many other festivals is their undercard and 2014 is no different.  Notables include Julian Casablancas, Spoon, Broken Bells, Empire of the Sun, James Blake, Sleigh Bells, The Head and the Heart, Jenny Lewis, La Roux, Washed Out, The Glitch Mob, and The Bloody Beetroots. Oh, and that’s not all. Frank Turner, Chance The Rapper, AlunaGeorge, RJD2, Tanlines, Deafheaven, Run The Jewels, Banks, Classixx, Haerts, Diarrhea Planet, Tourist, The Internet, Cayucas.   Did I mention Governors Ball Music Festival was known for their undercard? Tickets will go on sale January 15th at 3PM EST and can be purchased here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a quick sellout.
