Today the Governors Ball After Dark was announced. It is the official late night programming for the fifth annual Governors Ball Music Festival. It is an event that has grown so much over the past few years. It started off as a small one day event, and is now one of North America’s most popular and anticipated music festivals. This year, the live music extravaganza will take place Friday, June 5th through Sunday, June 7th on Randall’s Island Park. Yet after the festival wraps up every night, the party will keep going at clubs and theaters throughout the city, everywhere from the legendary Apollo in Harlem, to Webster Hall and Le Poisson Rouge in the Village, to Verboten and Output in Brooklyn, and amazing places in between. Tickets for Governors Ball After Dark shows go on sale Friday, April 17th, while a limited pre-sale will be available through Citibank beginning Wednesday, April 15th at 12pm EST. As far as artists go, this year they will have the likes of Drake, The Black Keys, deadmau5, Lana Del Rey, Florence and The Machine, Björk, War On Drugs, Marina &The Diamonds, Rae Sremmurd, Tame Impana, and so many more!
