Governors Ball sharing clues for 2019 lineup (enter to win tickets)

NYC music festival Governors Ball returns to Randall’s Island for its ninth edition May 31-June 2, 2019. The full lineup usually drops in early January, and while we wait for 2019’s, GovBall is sharing clues throughout the week, from December 10-December 15. See the clues below:

In addition to the clues they are sharing on social media, the GovBall team is also mailing ten people VHS tapes with more clues. As they wrote on Reddit, “these tapes hold 10 separate clues that, when together, can help decode one of this year’s headliners. Each recipient of these tapes will be instructed to come to the Gov Ball Reddit channel to share their clue and theories.” Stay tuned for more on that.

UPDATE: Recipients of the videos have begun to make their way to Reddit, and the new clues include horses running in a field, the South Bank walk of the River Thames in London, England, and a sky with clouds. Florence + The Machine?

We previously theorized that The 1975 will play GovBall (and Coachella) in 2019.

A 48-hour holiday ticket presale begins on Monday, December 17 at noon and ends on Wednesday, December 19 at noon. According to GovBall, three-day GA and VIP tickets will be available for their lowest prices during this presale.

Before the presale starts, you can also enter to win a pair of three-day passes to the festival HERE. The contest closes on Monday, December 17 at 10 AM.
