Some will say that summer in New York City doesn’t officially begin until Governors Ball. The 2024 iteration of the festival last weekend welcomed headliners Post Malone, the Killers, and SZA. Reigning chart-toppers like Sabrina Carpenter and Sexyy Red graced the stages, as did indie favorites like Faye Webster and Hotline TNT.
