Governors Ball Music Festival, also known as, Gov Ball, is a music festival at Randall's Island, New York City that is held in June. Everyone around the country but especially East Coasters knows all the hype about Gov Ball. This year, Gov Ball will be held June 3 to June 5. Gov Ball has the best food, artists and fun you can add to your summer adventures. Here are nine reasons you should check out this off-the-charts music festival.


1. It is not only one but three days!

Gov Ball is usually held for three days which means triple the entertainment and triple the craziness!

2. The best food.

It is not just a concert, but it is also a food festival! Everyone's two favorite things, food and music. Some food vendors include the ever-so-famous Momofuku Milk Bar, 16 Handles, Candy Rox etc.

3. Your favorite artist.

Some of the performers include Elle King, Joey Bada$$, The Killers and Mac Miller.

4. The coolest merch.

Check it out their merchandise!

5. The craziest crowd.

The crowd goes insane at Gov Ball which makes it that much more fun.

6. You get to re-wear your Coachella apparel.

The clothing vibe at Gov Ball is much like Coachella. So save your flowered headbands and fringe tops from April!

7. Activities all day.

Gov Ball has a number of activities you can do throughout the day which include Soberball, Lawn Games, Photo/Gif booths and even a flower crown booth!

8. It is relatively cheap.

If you are a big time raver, you know festivals are not cheap. Compared to Coachella and other hit music festivals, Gov Ball is relatively cheap.

9. The Headliner.

Kanye West is the 2016 Headliner at Gov Ball. Kanye is one of the most famous musicians/rappers of our time. Who would not want to see Kanye live?!

If this does not make you want to go to Gov Ball you are crazy! Buy your tickets now before they get sold out!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
