Gov. Ball was the original festival of Randall's Island and the first large-scale music festival of NYC. The festival was on its way to its tenth year in 2020, but it did not happen due to the Corona Virus.


The island will revive with the most influential names in hip hop, rock and electronic music, and that with the iconic skyline of the city as a backdrop. Click here for website of The Governors Ball.

Where to stay in New York?

If you are looking for a great place to stay in New York and you are not on a budget we recommend staying at the Crosby Street Hotel. This hotel is undoubtedly one of New Yorks finest hotels. The service and atmosphere is beyond words. You can sit outdoor in the outdoor courtyard and we loved everything about this hotel! The room was beautiful! Bright, vibrant colors with eclectic detailing. Very funky and chic.


Also the staff treats the clients personally. We have stayed here before and will do so again. On booking.com they get an average rating of 9.4.
