Governors Ball 2020 has been canceled. “It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of Governors Ball 2020 due to COVID-19,” a statement from the organizers reads. “Simply put—due to current government mandates and the evolving situation in NYC, it is neither safe nor prudent to move forward with our June dates.
The well-being of our fans, artists, staff, vendors, partners, and the surrounding NYC community is always our #1 priority.” The fest will return in 2021.
The annual New York City festival was scheduled to take place June 5–7, 2020. Among the artists that were slated to perform were Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala, Stevie Nicks, Missy Elliott, Solange, Miley Cyrus, and Carly Rae Jepsen.
