Throughout the winter and spring Governors Ball will also bring some of the 2019 performing artists to NYC for special "Governors Ball Presents" shows. King Princess just left audiences in awe with two sold-out nights at the Warsaw and Irving Plaza this past week, and upcoming gigs include Vince Staples, Cautious Clay, Parcels, Shaed, Chelsea Cutler, Njomza, Elohim and more TBA. While the Governors Ball Music Festival may not kick off for another 123 days, Founders Entertainment has planned plenty of fun in the meantime. A full list of confirmed "Governors Ball Presents" shows can be found below.

This year Governors Ball will celebrate its ninth consecutive running as "New York's biggest summer bash" (Rolling Stone), and one of the premier live music events on the planet. Last June, over 10 million worldwide viewers tuned in to the live broadcast of the internationally renowned festival, which was praised by performers and press alike. Pharrell proclaimed it "one of the best shows N.E.R.D had ever had in New York City," and Vic Mensa was enamored by the "really special" and "uniquely strong" energy brought by the crowd. Stereogum noted that the festival has consistently set itself apart from the crowd, writing that "Governors Ball has always strived to have a bit more of a personality than most high-profile festivals, adding in touches you just wouldn't get anywhere else."

Founders Entertainment is honored to once again bring those special touches and attention to detail to Governors Ball patrons at the festival grounds on Randall's Island Park (supported, maintained and programmed by the Randall's Island Park Alliance www.randallsisland.org). The 2019 festival will feature a signature lineup of the best food NYC has to offer, as well as craft cocktails and a brand new beer experience. Between sets, attendees can take in and enjoy surprise pop up performances, play lawn games, explore street art from internationally known artists, and enjoy the relaxing and restorative 21+ Best Kept Secret area. Late night, music fans disperse throughout the city to take in intimate performances from Governors Ball artists as part of the After Dark concert series. All of these elements come together to create the "only in New York" experience "Gov Ball" has become known and loved for.

Patrons looking to take their festival experience to the next level have many options for the weekend. VIP ticket holders can take advantage of a separate fast lane at each festival entrance, and access to all 21+ VIP Viewing Areas, which feature up-close prime viewing, comfy seating, shade tents, flushable bathrooms, specialty food vendors, cell phone charging stations, for hire massage services, and a beer, wine and liquor bar. VIP Plus tickets (only 125 available) go a step beyond the traditional VIP experience, with access to a very exclusive, elevated viewing platform with incredible views of the main stage that comes with comfortable lounge seating, and all-inclusive beer, cocktails, and wines and waiter service. And the Platinum VIP program treats ticket holders as if they were an artist performing at the festival, with a personal festival concierge, exclusive on-stage viewing (restrictions may apply), access to a very exclusive Front of House viewing area at the festival's four stages, a plush backstage open bar and lounge, and more. Full details on VIP options can be found here.

In addition to being accessible by MTA bus, bike, cab, and ferry service from Mid-Town Manhattan to and from the festival grounds, the festival is accessible to pedestrians via the RFK Bridge, the 103rd street footbridge, and Bronx Randall's Island Connector. The 2019 festival will also have a robust Brooklyn shuttle program to bring patrons to and from the festival.
