City, from Friday, June 6 to

hear performances by Outkast, Vampire Weekend, Skrillex, Foster The
People, Janelle Monae, Damian Marley, Disclosure, Spoon, The Head &
The Heart, Childish Gambino, Neko

Entertainment, The NYC based promotion company behind Governors
Ball. "We look forward to SiriusXM subscribers joining us this
weekend and adding to the energy surrounding New York City's very own world class music
festival."
"The Governors Ball Music Festival has become one of the most
respected and well attended music festivals in North America," said Steve Blatter, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, Music Programming, SiriusXM. "We are thrilled to
provide SiriusXM's subscribers with exclusive access to this year's
performances from a wide range of music's most innovative
artists."
The 4th annual edition of New York
City's premier music event will showcase a wide spectrum of
Indie Rock, Hip Hop, Americana, Electronica, Pop and Dance all
weekend long. Last year's sold-out 2013 edition of the festival
cemented Governors Ball as a "major contender" (Rolling
Stone) among North America's
premier music events. The coming 2014 festival will build upon the
size and scope of last year's programming, including new and
improved performance spaces, unique art installations, revamped
high-end food and drink areas, and an improved location to savor
offerings from some of New York
City's best food trucks.
