SAVE THE DATE FOR THE
GOVERNORS BALL MUSIC FESTIVAL 2012

Founders Entertainment is excited to announce the dates for the 2012 Governors Ball Music Festival. Expanding to two days, the festival will take place on June 23-24, providing festival attendees with a full weekends worth of good times and great music spread across two stages with no overlapping sets. Building upon the inaugural year line-up that focused on dance, hip hop, and electronica, Governors Ball 2012 will also incorporate indie rock, americana, and pop acts to the bill. This coming years festival will also be moving locations to Randall’s Island Park.

Bucking the prevailing trend of ill fated NYC area music festivals, in its inaugural year the Governors Ball Music Festival was a stunning success, drawing over 20,000 attendees to bask in the sun and take in 12 hours of non stop music from artists including Girl Talk, Pretty Lights, Big Boi, Neon Indian and Empire of the Sun among others. Festival attendees also took in a world class collection of art installations, took part in on site activities including Basketball, Beach Volleyball, and Ping Pong, while also enjoying great food and good beer.
