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.”

Glass Animals

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

Tove Lo

The queen of festival fashion Tove Lo taught us a thing or two when she played a stylish edition of This or That before taking the stage.

Black Pumas

Adrian Quesada from the GRAMMY-nominated group Black Pumas went “old school” when he shared his fantasy festival lineup.

Japanese Breakfast

Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast shared the band’s incredible inspiring pre-show ritual which everybody should integrate into their daily lives.
