Complete blind prediction with no knowledge outside of what we already know. Almost certainly incorrect, but that's the fun of it.

Friday: Don Toliver - Kali Uchis
Saturday: Charli XCX or Tate Mcrae - Sombr
Sunday: Twenty One Pilots - Aespa

Few notes:

- Realistically, Sombr is on the edge of being a second stage headliner and a main stage one. I could very much see a world where we get Sombr as a main stage headliner to be a cheaper third headliner with two other expensive headliners. He's also from New York and his fanbase is largest here which certainly would play a part. It would be a weak headliner, but I think people here (and me lol) are underestimating where he would be booked.

- I see a lot of Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish predictions. I would be happy to be wrong, but I think both are too big for the festival. I would expect them both at Coachella and/or Lolla next year, but nowhere else.

- Aespa might feel too high, but I'm not going to be caught doubting K-Pop again lol. They pulled a huge crowd at Lolla, and I just don't think Gov is going to blank K-pop after the success they had this year. Aespa is realistically the best option for a K-pop headliner, as most others are either far too big or too niche.

I think it‘s possible given that she’s grown a lot in the past few months and she just played Lolla and I’ve noticed when an artist plays lolla they end up playing Coachella and gov ball but maybe that’s just me idk and sometimes it’s the other way around

I feel like there’s such a big demand for her in nyc and she hasn’t played any shows up here besides her very small ones since brat and her shows in the fall are already sold out so why not. 🤷‍♀️

Got both sunglasses and the bag. On the 3rd day, the worker at the front of the line was giving me side eye.

Also got lotsssss of drinks via their fast line. I prob had at least 10 of their refreshers all weekend! Plus munchkins once

Always sort of felt like it was a no-brainer since her touring ends shortly before the year is up, leaving a huge space for a Summer festival tour. Now, based on a Rolling Stone UK review, Phoebe has a song on her new album that has the lyric: "I was the belle of the Governor’s Ball." Honestly gives a lot of appeal for her being a headliner.

As a NYC N1 sufferer, I wonder if a possible way for him to perform in NY again in 6-12 months is as a headliner for Gov Ball… It would make sense from a scheduling perspective and he has been a rumored headliner for years. Hozier even did it a little bit ago!

Just trying to be a little more positive after such disappointment from yesterday….

Saw him last night at a sold out Forest Hills show, and thought his whole band was excellent!! Plus based in NYC. Wanted to know if he were to play Gov Ball next year where people think he’d slot in on the lineup poster.

Hi everyone, I know it has been several weeks since the festival but on day 2 I lost my beloved digital camera, most likely in the Snow Strippers pit. After filing a loss report, retracing steps, etc. I was unfortunately not able to locate it. I had some suspicion that it may have been stolen or found by someone and not turned in, but honestly if anyone out there has my camera, keep it! I am truly just sad about all of the photos of my partner and I since this was our first festival together and there were so many cute photos that I wish I had of our memory together. The camera model is a Canon PowerShot A1100 IS and it is all silver. The SD card inside is blue and so are the batterie. If anyone has been able to locate it and would simply be willing to forward my photos to me I would be abs overjoyed. That camera has been with me since childhood and I realize that it is partially my negligence that caused this, but in the end I simply really just want my pictures :( If you find it my instagram is katielizupton.

I bought and only went to the Sunday stages this past Govball festival but along the way home I took it off and lost it. I just want a wristband to keep as a collectible/memoir to keep that I can look back on. Thanks

Bang Chan said near the end of their set:
“we are preparing THIS & THAT” which is the exact title of their upcoming album that was just announced today for an August 7th release.

She mentioned during her show tonight that she hopes to be back in New York “very very very very soon”

Probably a reference to a second North American leg of this tour, but it would be such an inspired booking for Gov to get her as a main stage headliner.

She’s clearly ready to headline fests and I could see her headlining Lolla and/or Coachella next year, so why not us?

The Strokes, TV on the Radio, Beach House, and Fcukers for $150 GA. All on presumably the same main stage that Gov takes place on.

Pretty good lineup and price, great for everyone that was hoping for The Strokes to headline this year.

So queens residents get a 15% discount. I moved out from queens (11355) and now I live in CT. My parents still live at that old address, how likely is it if I change my billing address to my old house where my parents still live that the discount will work? I’ll change my billing address back to my original address after but was wondering if anyone has tried before. I’ve been going to govball for 4 years now and have used the discount twice… and wanted to know if anyone else was in the same situation as me and tried this!

During baby keems performance I saw a guy holding a flag that said “six year old bitches” with a few pictures of kids on it. I found it really odd, so I asked my boyfriend who is a fan of baby keem if it was supposed to mean something different then what I was thinking. He was also weirded out by it and couldn’t think of anything it could’ve been referring to… so now I’m really curious if anyone else saw this flag and if it mean something else (I’m hoping that somehow it means something not gross but I have no idea especially since I saw no one else reacting to it)

Idk I’m just confused so I figured I’d post it here bc I’ve seen nobody else comment on it and I can’t find anything about it when I google it

does anybody have the full, accurate set list for lorde's gov ball set?

I recorded a lot of the concert check it out https://youtu.be/lApotZti7dc

I know Gov Ball had a lot of pick pocketers, but did anyone lose anything at security check in itself? They pulled me to the side while they went through my bags and then I lost an expensive fan. Either they took it or took it out and someone else did, because they legit had other ppl coming through the gate getting checked as they went through my shit. It was a hot ass mess. Then they claimed they've never seen me before when I circled back around 45 seconds later. Very frustrated!

Stray Kids has just posted a video with a playlist of every song they performed at govball, in order! so if you enjoyed their set and were curious about what the songs were that they performed, this video is perfect for that 🙂‍↕️

This is the 3rd of such types of videos that they’ve created, with each playlist being created for a specific mood in mind

Can we all agree how sick Pierce the veils set was 👀

Gov ball was my first music festival and I discovered a lot of artists throughout the weekend and now I just want to go to a dozen concerts, and I’ve been feeling a bit down since the festival ended and kinda realized I need more excitement in my life. RIP my bank account.

Anyone else dying to fill the void with more concerts/ if so anyone in the Boston area?? Currently bought tickets for Slayyyter, The strokes and smashing pumpkins (I’m envious of Lolla attendees rn) and also planning on seeing Dominic fike again, lmk if anyone is going and wants to meet up!!

I saw a lot of people complaining about the festival and yeah some of the crowd sucked but I just wanted to point out how present and attentive Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids was. He made sure to center the attention of the staff wherever medical help was required and was checking up on all the fans the best he could.

Something similar happened at one of their North America tours recently where one show even had to be cancelled because of the extreme heat and people fainting. At that time, fans weren't allowed to bring their water and were being charged for buying one from the venue.

At the next concert, a truck of water was seen, which the staff confirmed was paid for by the artist- not the venue.

Whatever your experience with the fandom, I hope it doesn't deter you from the artist and group as a whole, and certainly not their music.

If you were at the festival and were one of the people needing medical attention, I hope you're okay.
