With Memorial Day Weekend signifying the official start of summer, it also marks the official kickoff to music festival season, as each weekend from now through the end of September is filled with multi-band, music fests around the country. On Saturday, June 18, New York City’s Governors Island will host one such fest with the inaugural The Governors Ball. This one-day, dance music-leaning event will be headlined by Girl Talk, Pretty Lights and Empire Of The Sun, and is set to feature two stages of music with no overlapping sets, as well as a mix of art installations and summer-y activities like ping pong, basketball, beach volleyball and beer pong.
