The beginning of a new year could only mean one thing: your favorite summer festival\’s lineup announcement. So get out your reading glasses and prepare for the season of lineup debuts.
Whether it\’s Chicago\’s very own Lollapalooza, usually announced in March, or the globally acclaimed Ultra Music Festival, phase 1 being officially announced today, lineup announcements are very important for both the festival and the attendee. Seeing one of your favorite music acts on a festival\’s lineup, regardless of genre, may make or break your decision to attend the event itself. 2015 has already seen some great lineups put together, but the diversity in this one will be hard to compete with.
Starting on June 5th, New York City\’s Randall\’s Island Park will host The Governor\’s Ball Music Festival. This event will span through the weekend and feature some of music\’s heavyweights alongside the rising stars of tomorrow. Some of these non-dance acts include Drake, Lana Del Rey, Florence + The Machine, The Black Keys, Marina & The Diamonds, Bjork, Atmosphere, Logic, and many more. You can even complete your childhood with a live performance from Weird Al Yankovic. Yes, you read that correctly.
The dance acts coexist perfectly in this lineup full of industry giants. This well-rounded lineup will feature Deadmau5, Chromeo, SBTRKT, Flume, A-Trak, Big Gigantic, ODESZA, Flying Lotus, Rudimental, Gorgon City, Hermitude, and a few others.
Although it\’s only the beginning of January, it\’s time to plan for a summer full of music festival experiences. Book your flight to New York City, unless you\’re able to shed 12 hours of driving to get from Chicago to Governor\’s Ball!
