Stray Kids, Jennie at Governors Ball

Governors Ball’s 2026 lineup places K-pop acts Stray Kids and Jennie on one of New York’s biggest summer festival bills, adding them to a weekend that also includes Lorde, A$AP Rocky, Kali Uchis and KATSEYE. The festival’s official site says Gov Ball returns to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens from June 5 through June 7. Gov Ball says more than 60 artists will play across three stages over the three-day event. WMSC, the college station at Montclair State University, described this year’s bill as one of the festival’s most eclectic. ### Where do Stray Kids and Jennie fit on the weekend bill? Stray Kids are scheduled as one of the festival’s marquee acts on Saturday, June 6, according to lineup coverage and festival listings. Rolling Stone’s January lineup report said the group would close out Saturday night, making the appearance the group’s Gov Ball debut. The same report placed Jennie on Sunday’s bill rather than as the festival’s top closer that night. (governorsballmusicfestival.com) Jennie’s placement still makes her one of the weekend’s most visible crossover names. Rolling Stone listed her alongside Sunday performers including Dominic Fike, Geese, Clipse, Japanese Breakfast, Holly Humberstone, Rachel Chinouriri, Between Friends, Slayyyter and Hemlocke Springs. ### Who else is on the lineup readers are likely to recognize? (rollingstone.com) Lorde, Stray Kids and A$AP Rocky were identified by Rolling Stone as the festival’s three headliners when the lineup was released in January. The same report listed Kali Uchis, Major Lazer, Blood Orange, Wet Leg, Ravyn Lenae, Baby Keem, Pierce the Veil and Mariah the Scientist among other notable acts across the weekend. (rollingstone.com) WMSC’s June 1 preview emphasized a slightly different mix, highlighting artists its staff was most eager to see rather than attempting a full lineup rundown. That article singled out Stray Kids, Lorde, Wet Leg, Audrey Hobert and 2hollis, and described Gov Ball as a place where major pop acts, underground artists and newer names share the same stages. (rollingstone.com) The context matters because Gov Ball markets itself as a 60-plus-artist event built around range. The festival homepage says the weekend features “today’s hottest artists” across three stages in Queens, underscoring the mix of pop, rap, indie and international acts on the bill. ### What is the K-pop angle this year? Stray Kids’ appearance stands out because the group is not just on the lineup but near the top of it. (wmscradio.com) Rolling Stone said the act would close Saturday night, placing it in one of the festival’s most prominent slots. Jennie adds a second major Korean pop presence on the same weekend. Together with KATSEYE, their inclusion gives Gov Ball a larger K-pop footprint than many U.S. mainstream city festivals have historically carried, though Gov Ball itself has framed the event more broadly as a multi-genre lineup rather than around a single trend.

Gates are scheduled to open at 11:30 a.m. ET each day and close at 10 p.m. ET each night. The main festival site repeats the location and dates and directs fans to lineup, schedule and FAQ pages.
