The artists are not of just from dance music, hip-hop, or rock. With each genre comes at least 2 0r 3 artists that I, personally, would be interested in seeing. Want to attend?
You can head over to Eventbright to buy 3 day passes, single day passes, or VIP packages. There is a ferry and bus schedule that takes patrons to Randall’s Island for the events that you can also get from Eventbright. Governors Ball also suggests heading here for cabana reservations while on the island as well as heading here for a list of hotels.
An awesome place to get all the genreic festival information, would be here. Unlike a lot of other festivals, Governors Ball adds a lot of information to make it easier for guests.
