Governors Ball 2016: Kanye West, The Strokes, The Killers To Headline

Festival season is approaching fast and the lineup for the 2016 Governors Ball Music Festival has been announced! The New York City music festival is bringing some huge talent in - including headliners Kanye West, the Strokes and the Killers - for the three-day event in Randall's Island Park.

Gov Ball, taking place June 3-5, will feature more than 60 artists over the weekend. In addition to the headliners, the festival pulled in big names like Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, Haim, Chvrches, Miguel and Mac Miller. In addition, indie favorites such as Chet Faker, Action Bronson, Jamie XX, Galantis, Elle King and Marian Hill will also take the stage.

The last time West headlined the Governors Ball, in 2013, he debuted songs off of his "Yeezus" album, even though he did not release it until later that year. With West headlining again this year, fans could get the chance to hear some new tracks off of the rappers forthcoming album, reportedly titled "SWISH." The Killers have also been rumored to be releasing new music this year, according to Entertainment Weekly.

In addition to the musical performances, Gov Ball will also feature art installations, lawn games and dining options from restaurants and food trucks. The list of vendors is expected to be announced at a later date.

Last year, Drake, Florence + the Machine and Lana Del Rey headlined the Governors Ball, according to ABC News.
