DJ Diesel
DJ Diesel (aka, Shaquille O’Neal) was ready for Gov Ball, but the SXM tent was not ready for DJ Diesel. It’s hard to find 7’1″ backdrops, but maybe the third time will be the charm.
J. Cole
J. Cole played over 20 songs during his Gov Ball set, including “No Role Modelz” and a cover of 21 Savage’s “a lot.”
The crowd for @JColeNC at @GovBallNYC was unmatched 😮💨❤️🔥 pic.twitter.com/WplFXil64x

Glass Animals
Glass Animals brought the heat and also told us where they buy their socks. (Hint: it’s a gas station in Spain.)
