Held on Randall’s Island in New York City every June, this three-day long festival combines music, food, drinks and art to create an inspiring experience. The VIP experience offers attendees the chance to enjoy the festival in complete luxury with spacious seating areas, shaded tents, air-conditioned bathrooms and more. The cocktail lounges will be flowing and refreshing as ever and the food vendors in the VIP areas will be sure to have your mouth watering. The artfully crafted food lineup includes the best eats from all five boroughs including Roberta’s Pizza, Big Mozz and Ramen Burger. After filling up on delicious local grub, and in between the stacked lineup, festival-goers will be able to take in the vibrant art sprinkled throughout the grounds. Artists on this year’s roster include Steffi Lynn, Baron Von Fancy and Adam Fu, among others.

Another perk of VIP will be the on-site concierge service who will be able to cater to all of your needs. Though VIP is a special experience, and VIP Plus provides additional elevated viewing platforms, cocktail waiter service and exclusive seating, Platinum is above and beyond it all.

The ultimate experience, a Platinum ticket holder is able to enjoy a private, complimentary bar, with upscale and reserved seating. Because there are only a limited number of Platinum tickets on sale (100, to be exact), there will be far less chaos in the Platinum area. If you’re looking for a sophisticated festival experience, laced with moments of sheer luxury and pampering, Platinum ticks all the boxes. No matter what option you go with, Gov Ball is sure to be a blast this year, with an impressive lineup of talent, food, drink and art.

The Governors Ball Music Festival will be held from June 1 – 3 this year. Tickets are available here
