In just a few short days the Sidewalk Hustle team will be New York bound to take in the city’s best summer music festival, Governors Ball! It will be our second year in a row covering the festival and we’re super pumped to bring you a front row view of headliners like Outkast, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, and The Strokes as well as all the smaller acts in between!
For any first timers heading to the festival, you might remember our photos from last year, looking quite muddy, thanks to Tropical Storm Andrea. But even though there’s sunshine and rainbows on the forecast for this year, we recommend packing your boots, just in case.
Because the line up is pretty amazing with epic sets often overlapping, you first timers might find the line up a little overwhelming. We’ve done you a solid and made a day by day schedule for you to follow, to make sure you’re not missing the best and most buzzed sets this weekend. See you there?
