Does anybody know if and when GBall sold out last year? I think I'll only be able to do one festival this summer, and I want to wait until I see Roo's line-up before pulling the trigger or trying to scrape the money together to go to a second fest.

God I really hope they start selling day passes. I don't know I can swing taking Friday off, but I'd love to hit a couple days of this if I don't make Bonnaroo.

I'd just really like to not miss out on a Kanye show that has other acts before him. If I could get a single pass to whatever day that is I'll be happy. I do hope they sell day passes and that their warning was just to drive ticket sales up.

I'm basically swinging back and forth between "ah, f*ck it, Just go to Governor's Ball, save a couple hundred bucks and have a convenient festival for once" and ".....it's f*cking Bonnaroo and Macca is the top headliner, stop acting like you won't be depressed if you skip it."

I have the ticket page open... I'm having trouble pulling the trigger too. As I've said, I'll have to skip Saturday AND as of right now, I have no one to go with. If I can someone to definitely hang out with...

I definitely intend on going.. I'm wondering like crazy about that third headliner though and would like some insight from all of you Probably electronic, right?

Eh, doubtful. They've already got Pretty Lights on the bill, I don't know how they really go bigger than that unless they're booking Skrilly or the Mau5, and for some reason I don't see it happening. I think it's the YYY or Mumford & Sons.

It makes the most sense... Strokes won't at Roo (they were just there two years ago), so Gball can go ahead and say they booked Strokes in their only major festival appearance in their hometown.. I kind of get the feeling the same will be said about Kanye and KoL as well (not making any other fest appearances this year that is).
I'd love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and would rather get them. And granted they are from NY too. But they are booked for Coachella so wouldn't exactly be considered a "get."

Hope I'm wrong.
Are they that wrapped up in "gets" or do they just want to put on a great festival? YYY resonate WAY more with the demographic GB is geared towards, I would think (tween-to-late-20's music elitists in NYC), but the Strokes would get them a lot more casual fans, I think.

This is not a "gets" type of festival. It's probably going to wind up the most generic festival lineup of the summer. There isn't an act on here that you can't catch pretty much anywhere. It's just an extremely solid top to bottom, ideal for people who either a) go to lots of festivals and want to use this to eliminate conflicts elsewhere, or b) are more casual music fans.
Remember, they did this "mystery headliner" thing last year and it was...Kid Cudi. I think YYY are a very solid guess that fits this lineup to a T.

Who knows. Hoping for YYYs, or an EDM headliner (Gball caters to EDM, Hip Hop, and alternative.. already got two out of the three in headliner spots so why not complete the trifecta? But with who?!), or the long shooooot of Atoms for Peace (very much unlikely).

You left out C) fans who don't get to go to any festivals this year, live in NYC, and want to see a lot of bands that aren't coming to the city otherwise.

Last year they got Beck in his only major festival appearance.. They absolutely are a "gets" festival.

I don't think you're quite getting the concept, but okay. Also wasn't his only festival appearance, but regardless. Look at this year's lineup - it's basically a "who's who" of bands that you, me, and everyone else knows will be on tour constantly this summer, playing lots of festivals, or else is just generally "around." That's all I'm saying.

Well with the new album announcement I think Strokes are just as if not more likely then Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Mumford... More so because they are from the city and like I said probably won't be at any other major festivals.
By the way I don't expect to see Kanye or KoL on any other major fests this summer either... On this coast anyway.

One of the guys I met who works for Founders Entertainment messaged me this morning to let me know that Governors Ball started a message board... I'd like it not to suck so it would be awesome if some inforooers would join up

Gball just said on facebook that the 3rd headliner is going to be announced "Soon...like, real soon.."
I still think Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the two most likely.. But just throwing it out there maybe Beyonce? She just announced a Barclays date maybe they didnt wanna announce her for this till that sells out? Just thinking out loud.
