Primavera Sound 2025

I'd be really happy with a lot of this lineup... but dates might be cutting it close with Gov Ball weekend. What's the overlap been with these festivals in the past?

GovBall 2025 Rumors and Confirmations Thread

Festival rumor season looms and 2025 tour dates are dropping, so let's get the conversation going. Who's out? Who's in? Who's talked to a sound engineer's brother's cousin's sister's former roommate and can confirm Daft Punk is reuniting to headline GovBall 2025?

Post yer rumors, confirmations, etc., below, and I'll keep the table updated. Let's try to keep this a bit focused - artists who are wildly outside the festival's genre mix should probably be left out. Likewise, if an artist is touring on the other side of the country during the festival dates but just happens to have one of them off, it's not likely they'd pop across the continent to fit in a daytime slot at GovBall. Etc.

Reminder: Festivals typically book under a "radius clause," meaning artists on the lineup can't have announced a local show within six months of the event prior to being announced as booked for the festival. So, if an artist has an NYC, Long Island, or northern New Jersey show already on the books for 2025, they can be considered out for GovBall unless there is **very** compelling evidence to the contrary.

Otherwise, let's go.

Food prices next year?

The people are hurting, our economy is in shambles, the mayor is a crook. Baby please bring these food prices back down to earth. Disneyland is cheaper than eating at govball. I’m not saying lower the prices on alcohol just the food please. The lines are giving footlocker 2006. Or just ignore me when I bring empanadas in my fanny pack

Can someone PLEASE fix cell service at festivals?!

Would you rent a product that improved your cell phone's connection, but only between you and your friends who are at the festival? (If yes, please comment how much you'd be willing to rent it for?)

Just working on an idea with a friend :)

Out - 7/12 at MSG

This is legit a shame - “Weird Al” was one of the most killer sets of GovBall 2015.

2025 gov ball lineup?

most likely the same lineup, right, since covid? post malone, billie eilish, the poop queen ice spice, and Noah kahn as headliners?. i know it's Gen Z's turn still but its been really bad since 2021. do you think founders will go back to having fun again? or is Ice Spice here to stay?

Possible 2025 Dates

It looks like Gov Ball will be June 6th-8th. The New York Mets will be away during that weekend.

sickness ⁉️

hi everyone! i went to day three of gov ball and 3 days after i got home, i got super sick. i tested positive for strep but my symptoms still persisted after 10 days of antibiotics and im currently being treated with a second round of them. my doctor said i might have a weird strain of strep that is hard to treat with antibiotics. just wondering if anyone else got sick after the concert? i’ve literally had it for a month now lol so tired of it

the group of people for post

the people who did #pushforpost yall are the dumbest people i’ve ever met. literal bullies and so rude. trying to push into a crowd that’s already crowded enough, it makes sense to slide into a spot that wasn’t taken, but just pushing is obnoxious. i want to give a special shoutout to this girl who was a total dickhead after my friend and i didn’t feel well and we sat for a second before post, i ask for a little space after they shoved everyone and said “where the fuck am i suppose to move” well maybe if you didn’t fucking push maybe i could breathe.

but actually special shout out to the guy with a water tube backpack.

Almost fainted at Sabrina

Hi all! I almost passed out in the middle of Sabrina’s crowd on Saturday about twenty minutes before she went on. I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the people around me who moved out of the way so I could get out of the crowd faster. I was feeling super lightheaded and went almost completely deaf but when I was pushing through the crowd, a super sweet girl complimented my dress so if you’re out there thank you! And major thank you to the staff at the bar near where I collapsed once I got out of the crowd. They were super supportive, worked quickly, and got me everything I needed. They even made me a makeshift umbrella out of a piece of cardboard. What an amazing Gov ball. Can’t wait for next year! Thank you everyone!!
