Governors Ball 2023: New Venue Confirmed
Apart from the lineup, the organizers also announced that the festival will be held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens this year. Announcing the move, Tom Russell, co-founder of the festival, said, “Words can’t express how excited we are to bring Gov Ball to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, one of the most special and storied parks in all of New York City.”
“Since moving to Queens in 2021, we’ve been overwhelmed by the welcome the community has shown us, and we look forward to continuing being a part of and giving back to that community for years to come.”
“We are honored to call such an iconic venue our new home, and we thank Mayor [Eric] Adams and his administration and Queensborough President Donovan Richards for their trust and support,” he added.
