The 2022 Governors Ball from June 10th to June 12th is on sale on Thursday (there is a Citibank presale on right now), and if you can get past the eye watering, knocking on $400 for three day GA. The line up simply isn’t there…

Let me whittle it down to must sees per day:
Friday:
Migos
Jack Harlow
Skepta
JPEGMAFIA
Beabadoobee
Channel Tres
Samia
None of these performers are first trier (Not even headliner Kid Cudi -though Ye might show). EWell, maybe Skepta, the grime King, is A List.
Saturday, June 11th:
Halsey
Roddy Ricch
Tove Lo
Denzel Curry
Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal)
Despite my love for Halsey, who can comfortably fill a 20K sitter but no more, she isn’t worth this much hassle. Nobody here is a must see at all, a truly dreadful day…
Sunday
Sunday, June 12th:
J. Cole
Playboi Carti
Becky G
Jazmine Sullivan
100 gecs
Japanese Breakfast
J.I.D
Soccer Mommy
DUCKWRTH
Despite it being a Sunday, this might be the one. 100 gecs is an absolutely gem, J Cole one of hip hops biggest stars and Playboy Cartei a young legend, Becky G? They should have gone for a bigger name, maybe a Rosalia or (god knows) Maluma or Sebastian Yatra.
I can’t believe this missed out on THAT NAME… Coachella has Ye, why don’t we. Where is the sort of star we had on 2022, no Billie Eilish, J. Balvin A$AP Rocky, Post Malone… the name’s are simply not as big…
