Writing for Pitchfork, Jazz Monroe reports that Governors Ball will be headlined by Lorde, Stray Kids, and A$AP Rocky on June 5–7, with a stacked undercard that includes Kali Uchis, Baby Keem, Jennie, Clipse, Blood Orange and more.
The announcement matters because Gov Ball is a fast trend-confirmation marker for what’s hot across pop, rap, and alt in the U.S. festival economy—especially for New York’s early-summer circuit.
The next phase will be sell-through speed, social chatter around billing order, and potential lineup-day additions.
Two additional public references echoed the same development:
Pitchfork (Official report): “headliners Lorde, Stray Kids, and A$AP Rocky…”

Pitchfork (Lineup detail): “Also headed to… Blood Orange, Clipse…”

Festival lineups have become cultural stock charts—one poster can shift streaming spikes, tour routing, and brand endorsements. Watch for diaspora acts on side stages (or late adds), and how A$AP Rocky’s booking plays in the wider hip-hop calendar.
