Launched in 2011, Governors Ball has a long history of Hip Hop headliners. Kanye West, Outkast, Drake, Eminem, Travis Scott, Nas, Tyler, The Creator, A$AP Rocky and Childish Gambino have all headed up the bill over the past decade.

Kid Cudi is no stranger to the festival, either, having headlined the 2012 edition alongside Beck, Passion Pit and Modest Mouse. As for J. Cole, this will be his first time headlining Gov Ball.

The 2022 Governors Ball will be held at Citi Field — home of the New York Mets — in Queens, New York, where the festival relocated to last year after a long spell at Randall’s Island Park.
