About Governors Ball
New York's premier music festival has found its footing at Citi Field and delivers a consistently strong lineup in one of the world's great cities. The urban format means you sleep in a real bed, eat at real restaurants, and use the festival as a base for a full NYC weekend.
Governors Ball is a great festival made better by New York City. The lineup is consistently strong and the production has improved every year. The Citi Field location works well — easy subway access, good sightlines, manageable crowds. The value is the weak point: NYC prices mean food, drinks, and hotels all cost more than comparable festivals. But you're in New York, which means the 72 hours around the festival are as good as the festival itself.

Eat early and eat well. NYC festival food quality is high. The lines get long after 5 PM. Bring a water bottle for free refills. Pizza is the obvious move but the more adventurous vendors are worth exploring.
NYC brunch is a ritual. Eat well before the festival — you'll need the fuel.
