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!

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.

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?!

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
