English singer-songwriter James Blake has been added to this year’s Governors Ball Festival, taking place on June 1-3 in New York City. As of now, it’s the only U.S. show that Blake has scheduled in 2018.
Blake’s name was previously covered up on the fest’s lineup poster, but he has now been officially announced to perform at the festival. Blake’s latest release was his critically acclaimed third studio album, 2016’s The Colour in Anything.
The eighth annual festival is located on Randall’s Island Park, and will feature performances from Eminem (his first headlining show in NYC since 2010), Jack White, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Halsey, N.E.R.D. (their first NYC show since 2010, as well), Alvvays, Wolf Alice, a reunited The Gaslight Anthem (performing their breakout album The ‘59 Sound) and many more.
Governors Ball will showcase over 65 artists throughout the weekend. Three-day GA and VIP tickets are available now here.
