If I lived anywhere even remotely close to this, and certainly anywhere near NY, I would be all over this. So what if it's a festival, sometimes they can be better than arena shows if the atmosphere is right. I always view festivals as like a team kind of mentality, where your team "GN'R" are going up against all of the others, and they always win and blow all of the other's offstage.

I said to myself I would make the trip from UK the next time GN'R played NYC, however I can't decide on this. In my mind there is nothing worse than seeing your favourite band when large amounts of the audience is not into them. Also I'm all for diverse line ups but this one does not work in my opinion.

I like a crowd with passion that jumps up and down and gets sweaty. My feeling is that this is a rare occurrence in New York though.

Do we know how long GN'R will play??

I wonder if Axl and co. will do any "secret" shows the week before, i would hope so. Axl will most definitely be in the city for at least that whole week. looking forward to June 8th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think someone mentioned earlier that headliners have 90 minutes each... not sure how strictly this will be adhered to....

[jarmo]

I believe the organizers said headliners get 90 minutes.

Hopefully there's some kind of flexibility considering festivals do happen to run behind schedule....

And they could have sorted that out whilst being in NY lately?  I like your thinking.

I'd be tempted to fly over for there own show in the NYC providing work commitments would allow.

This website shows a schedule for the Governors Ball.  I don't like how some of the bigger acts are matched up against each other - I think when it comes to the final handful of big names for the day - the set times should be alternating, so you get a chance to see all of them.

Anyways, my problem here is that I'm a fan of Nas and have never seen him live.  He's matched up directly with Guns.  Do I take the chance that Guns don't come out on time & hopefully catch both acts (or at least a few songs by Nas)?  I probably won't get much sympathy here as most of you probably don't give a f*#k about rap music.   

I might need someone who's attending to text me when they hit the stage so I can run over!

Yes, that is the problem.



ha, just messing with you.  I would be shocked if GNR came out right on time, you could probably get away with catching some of both if you don't mind missing a few GNR songs, I am assuming you have seen GNR before.  I have done stuff like that at festivals before, it usually works out.

[johnreed3344]

can't wait for weekend in NYC and GN'R, gonna be hipster hunting all day! we need a great crowd!!! 4 weeks away!!! 

[WAR41]

Wow I am surprised that Nas is at the same time as GNR.  Nas is quite awesome.  The World Is Yours is an epic tune.

[Derby Greg]

Can we hurry the f*** up and get to this show please. Why is it taking so long??!!!

So are we stuck on the island post show waiting for the ferry for hours?? Is it possible to swim to Manhattan?

Time to bring Oh My God back I think. This Rio 01 version is a blast.
