This year’s Governors Ball music festival in New York City has been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak, event organizers said on Thursday.
The annual festival was set to take place June 5-7. Headline artists this year included Tame Impala, Solange, Vampire Weekend, Miley Cyrus and Missy Elliott.
“Simply put–due to current government mandates and the evolving situation in NYC, it is neither safe nor prudent to move forward with our June dates,” festival organizers said in a statement. “The well-being of our fans, artists, staff, vendors, partners, and the surrounding NYC community is always our #1 priority.”
Governors Ball typically attracts around 50,000 attendees per day.
