If you were as fortunate as I was to attend Gov Ball 2016 (all two days of it), then you know what I mean when I say it was a good time. From the acts to the food to the weather, it was a fun (although cut short) weekend not to soon forget! Here are some of the highlights, whether you missed out or not.
1. Kim stood on the palms of her fans #praise
2. De La Soul made everyone, including the paparazzi, put their cameras and phones away to throw their hands in the air like they just don't care
Hence, there are no actual pictures of the crod going wild with thier hands in the air...
3. Mandy Lee from the MisterWives preached equality and the crowd went wild
Your political beliefs aside, she was super empowering. She spoke up and hyped up the crowd, making the MisterWIves performance unforgettable.
4. THE FOOD
It wasn't just one of the many indulgences, it was every single one that was its own highlight.
5. Miguel attempted to crowd surf and he was dropped
6. The rain came pouring down and it stopped NO ONE
Ok, maybe it stopped Day 3, but we all danced in the rain and huddled under tents throughout Saturday afternoon/evening. Well worth the mud on my shoes!
7. Carly Rae Jepsen surprised everyone with a performance with The Knocks
8. There was an iconic unicorn balloon
Not to mention a green monkey and parrott could be spotted throughout the festival grounds.
9. The artwork was on point
Artists from all over the world, from right here in NYC to the countryside of England, beautified Randall's Island with some of their best work.
10. For the 2/3 days lucky festival goers got to attend, fireworks stroked the sky to mark the end of killer performances
Get it? the headliners were the Strokes and the Killers! They both ended each day with their chart toppers and insane dance moves. The crowds went wild and were thrilled to see the sky lit up in honor of the festival.
I absolutely cannot wait to go back again next year! GovBall2017, here I come!
