Governors Ball

Governors Ball 2017: Go Backstage With Lorde, Childish Gambino and More

Celebrities were scarce at this year's Governors Ball music festival, but the performers had a great time, according to Instagram. Friday's lineup was stacked, including headliners like Chance the Rapper, Lorde, Tove Lo, Kehlani, and Majid Jordan, who are longtime collaborators with Drake. On Saturday, Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino took the stage, along with the Wu-Tang Clan, Rae Sremmurd, Banks, and Stormzy. And finally, the festival wrapped on Sunday with performances from Wiz Khalifa, Mac Demarco, and Skepta. Overall, it was a solid (and sunny) comeback after last year's weather fiasco, which forced the festival to cancel Kanye West's performance. And the festival tapped a handful of young up-and-comers like Jessie Reyez, differentiating it from other festivals like Coachella, Panorama, and now The Meadows. See what artists like Lorde, Dua Lipa, and Charli XCX got up to backstage this year.
