Get ready to party, New York City. The 2023 Governors Ball is right around the corner, with festivities kicking off Friday (June 9) and lasting throughout the weekend.
And, with three big stages in Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park and three consecutive days to catch your favorite artists performing, this year’s lineup is packing some serious summer heat. Just take a look at the headliners: Lizzo will lead the charge on Day 1, Odesza is up next on Saturday (June 10) and Kendrick Lamar will take on the closing ceremony duties on Sunday (June 11). And, underlining those names on the marquee are other killer acts, including Lil Uzi Vert, Haim, Diplo, Lil Baby, aespa, Rina Sawayama, Lil Nas X and Giveon.
But while those big names are all no-brainers to catch, there are also dozens of artists who are worth seeing but might not be on your radar yet — even though they definitely should be. Grammy winners, flaming hot rising stars — hello, Ice Spice? — and indie acts who are sure to become your next obsession are all coming to Queens this weekend, and you’re definitely not gonna want to miss ’em.
So to help you get a better idea of who should definitely be on your Gov Ball itinerary, Billboard has rounded up some of this year’s most promising artists for your consideration. And whether you’ve never heard of them or know every one of their lyrics by heart, rest assured: They’re going to rock your world this weekend.
