Governors Ball 2021 will take place from Sept. 24-26 at its new home, New York’s Citi Field.

Now, in the wake of the country’s current COVID-19 surge, organizers will require attendees to show proof of “a full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result” for entry.

“Safety is always our number one priority,” organizers wrote.

As some may recall, the New York City festival hit a string of bad luck in the last few years.

In addition to its June 2020 edition being canceled due to COVID-19, the festival landed in hot water in 2019 when a highly anticipated headlining performance by The Strokes was rained out and thousands of ticketholders were left to their own devices to seek shelter, eventually leading to fan-instigated destruction on-site.

The festival’s founders shared a statement the following day, saying, “While we are happy that no injuries were reported during the evacuation, we aren’t going to sugar coat things here. When you are evacuating tens of thousands of people from any site, it is a challenging endeavor. We simply had no choice given the data we received about the approaching severe weather. Your safety is always our number one priority, and yesterday we did everything in our power to give you the most amount of music and Gov Ball as possible.”

In November 2019, the event also announced a new age policy for 2020, in an attempt to reel in the number of teenage attendees, a problem many fans complained about in a 2019 Reddit AMA.
