This weekend's Governors Ball on Randall's Island kicks NYC's outdoor music season into high gear. Three-day and VIP passes are already sold out, but you can still get $95 general admission tickets for June 7th, 8th and 9th HERE for the chance to catch headliners including Guns N' Roses, Kanye West, King of Leon, The xx, NAS, Icona Pop, Cut Copy and more. There's also a "Kickoff Party" on Thursday night at Santos Party House and eight official after-parties at various venues including Brooklyn Bowl, Irving Plaza, Bowery Ballroom and the Gramercy Theatre. In terms of the Ball itself, we're looking forward to Friday's live show by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and then we're heading over to
