Governor's Ball Lineup 2013: Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Guns N' Roses to Rock NYC Festival

Govenor's Ball in New York CityBig Hassle

This June, New York City music festival Governor's Ball is getting even bigger. Not only will the event expand to three days, but the lineup will be even more impressive than last year's: Kanye West will perform his first solo headline show in New York since 2008, while Kings of Leon will play their first show in the city since late 2010.

Axl Rose's Guns N' Roses have since been confirmed as the third top-tier headliners -- so that's pretty awesome.

On top of that, the festival boasts a mixture of rock, rap and electronic, including Nas, Pretty Lights, the Avett Brothers, Grizzly Bear, the xx, Cut Copy, Beach House, Kendrick Lamar, the Lumineers, Animal Collective, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Young the Giant, Feist and many more. Check out the full lineup below, and keep your eyes out for another headliner.

Tickets go on sale Jan. 25 at noon ET, and the festival takes place June 7-9 on Randall's Island. Head to the official Governor's Ball site for more info and check out our recap of the 2012 event here.
