New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival is well into its second decade at this point, and quickly into its run, it became one of the biggest live music events of the summer. This year’s edition will be the 14th one, and once again, it’s not to be missed.

If you’re looking to do more than watch shaky, 15-second performance clips on TikTok and want to actually be there in person, there’s a lot you should know before and after you buy your tickets. We’ve gathered all the info you need and organized it for you, so here is your complete preview of Governors Ball 2025.

Dates

Gov Ball 2025 spans three days this summer: June 6, 7, and 8.

Lineup

The headliners for this year’s festival are Tyler The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier. The lineup also includes Benson Boone, Feid, Glass Animals, Mk.gee, T-Pain, Tyla, Jpegmafia, Matt Champion, Jean Dawson, Conan Gray, Marina, Mariah The Scientist, Car Seat Headrest, Mt. Joy, Clairo, Royel Otis, The Japanese House, Amaarae, Key Glock, Militarie Gun, and more.

Check out the full lineup and schedule on the festival website.

Location

The festival has cycled through a handful of venues in recent years, but for 2025, it’ll stay in Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where it’s been since the 2023 edition.

In a previous statement, Sue Donoghue, NYC Parks Commissioner, said, “Summer in New York City is not complete without the sound of music playing in our parks. Holding the Governor’s Ball in our iconic Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens is the perfect way to celebrate the arts and bring people together. We look forward to seeing New Yorkers and visitors alike join us in Queens for this thrilling kick off to summer in one of our most storied parks.”

Set Times

We previously covered set times, so find the full list here.

Tickets

Tickets have been on sale for a while now, but some still do remain. Three-day general admission tickets are available for $359 (with no hidden fees). Other pricing tiers and single-day tickets are on sale, so find more information on the festival website.

Food And Drinks

You won’t go hungry or thirsty this year, as there will be over 40 vendors on the festival grounds. The festival website has a helpful page where all the food and drink options are listed, and for ultimate convenience, they can even be filtered by dietary restrictions.

Weather

Per Weather.com, during the weekend of Gov Ball, Queens should expect temperatures to hover around 80 degrees, with clouds and about a 25-percent chance of rain. For a more reliable forecast, though, check weather reports closer to the big weekend.

What To Bring

Uproxx’s Philip Cosores recently compiled a helpful festival packing guide for 2025, so find that here.

Benny Blanco Surprises A Virginia High School By DJing Their Prom

Summer break for schools is coming right up, which means we’re in the midst of prom season. Benny Blanco decided he wasn’t going to let this window pass by without getting involved.

This past weekend, Blanco found himself at Fairfax High School in Fairfax, Virginia. (As WUSA9 notes, Blanco is an alum of nearby South Lakes High School.) On TikTok, Blanco shared a video of himself rushing to enter the school as he explains, “Alright, guys, we’re about to surprise Fairfax High School. I’m 15 minutes late. We gotta go right now. Let’s f*cking go, go, go, go, go, go. Let’s go!”

Blanco then bursts into the prom venue to uproarious cheers from the students and gets behind the DJ booth. It’s not clear what made his setlist, but the video is set to his and fiancée Selena Gomez’s “Bluest Flame.”

One TikTok user, apparently a student who was at that prom, commented on Blanco’s post, “Thank you for that wonderful night benny!!!![heart emojis]We’re soooo happy you’re there and we will never forget it!!! That night was soooo much fun!!!”

This comes a little over a month after Blanco surprised Gomez with a prom-themed photoshoot, which ended up being used in their “Talk” video.

Reneé Rapp Kicks Off Pride Month With Advice For Queer People During A Scary Time

Renee Rapp 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival (1024x437)

Reneé Rapp entered a new era recently with the single “Leave Me Alone.” She’s making the media rounds, too, and that includes a new Cosmopolitan feature.

In it, Rapp offers some advice for queer people during a “really scary time,” saying:

“Find your community. Whether that community is online and thousands of miles away from you or two towns over or in someone who really lifts you up beyond a way you could do for yourself. Your community will do the best it can to keep you safe. This extends so much further past gay and trans people.

Really rely on people around you who are maybe more comfortable or less at risk than you are. We kind of have a pact among certain friends of mine that’s like, ‘I can take a way bigger blow than you can. Let me do that sh*t.’ I’m not going to let my friend who exists in a trans body go out and put themselves at risk because they immediately have a way bigger target on their back. There is such a dire need for protection, and the government is not going to give that to you. No one here is going to give that to you but the people you can trust.”

She also said of her friend group, “I have the tightest group of friends in the entire world. We’re together at least two days out of every weekend. We were just all together at our house, and we were crying — all of us being like, ‘This is so cool.’ We have this intersectional group of b*tches at the house playing Rage Cage on a Sunday for no reason. […] I like my personal life more than I like my work life. And I’ve never had that experience. Not once before this.”

What’s Popular On Streaming Now

sirens-finale-lg
Netflix

Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.

10. Mickey17 – A24 film streaming on HBO Max

Robert Pattinson won’t ever stop being a little freak, thank goodness. Here, Parasite helmer Bong Joon-ho dialed into those vibes by rebirthing RPattz again and again in a sci-fi movie that might eventually be declared a classic even if the box office wasn’t so kind. Satire can be a hard sell, especially when the concept of being “expendable” is at the forefront, but you can’t go wrong by firing this up at home, especially when Toni Collette, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, and Steven Yeun are on tap.

9. The RehearsalMax series

The season has drawn to a close, but the headlines haven’t evaporated yet. Nathan Fielder is actually beefing with officials at the FAA, which has taken issue with Fielder’s “rehearsal” of Capt. Sully Sullenberger’s Hudson landing in the “Pilot’s Code” episode. Do you know who loves that episode, though? Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee, who told Vulture of the imagined iPod sequence, “It’s just blowing my mind. It’s really beautiful.” So there.

8. Your Friends & NeighborsApple TV+ series

Season finale time has arrived for Jon Hamm as a hedge funder-turned thief (Coop) who happens to rob his wealthy neighbors in the wake of his crumbled life. James Marsden will join for the second season, which was announced before this show even premiered, but before then, viewers will want to see how Coop wiggles out from that unexpected murder development. Can you believe that this is the first Hamm leading role since Don Draper meditated to end Mad Men? And since Apple TV+ has already shown a pattern of letting shows breathe and mature, we’ll see if Coop can outlive Draper on TV.

7. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – Paramount movie streaming on Paramount Plus

Tom Cruise’s final outing as Ethan Hunt (with director Christopher McQuarrie still going for it, too) has arrived in theaters, so that people can find out if this character survived an endless stream of life-threatening stunts only to, like, fall into a trash compactor or something? That would be the funniest way to end the franchise, especially after they crushed hearts by bidding farewell to Rebecca Ferguson. In all seriousness, Cruise is an overriding reason why movies survived the pandemic, so if you are so inclined, you definitely know what to do after catching up on Dead Reckoning Part One on streaming.

6. MurderbotApple TV+ series

Finally, Alexander Skarsgård nabbed a lead role where his character’s appeal does not revolve around getting naked. Yet. You never know with him, but this show (which adapts Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries) does aim to stay faithful to the source material’s spirit as much as possible. That target audience has been bestowing positive reactions, but you don’t have to look too far to witness some disappointment in the show’s human characters. What hasn’t been controversial, however, is how this show is keeping episode length short and sweet, in tune with the speed at which the SecUnit devours his own televised addictions.

5. The Handmaid’s TaleHulu series

Gilead’s Most Wanted pushed oppressors to the brink all the way to the end, and although the resistance hasn’t yet made a total victory (there has to be something left for The Testaments to handle), the series finale did deliver satisfaction. For one thing, June (who might appear in the followup series) has started writing her book. For another, she and Serena Joy came to as much of a full-on “meeting of the minds” as possible. And Aunt Lydia’s evolution will be central to what comes next, which will be handled by flagship series creator Bruce Miller, so blessed be the (next) fight to come on Hulu.

4. The EternautNetflix series

This Argentina series has lit up multiple local economies after taking off on Netflix and earning a swift second season renewal. That’s a rarity these days on this streaming service, but this adaptation of the same-named 1957 comic by Hector G. Oesterheld is now on the road to a full conclusion. If you haven’t tuned into this haunting series full of apocalyptic snow, an alien invasion, and mind control, then you have some time to catch up, but there’s no time like the onset of summer weather to tune into this arctic blast.

3. The Last Of Us – HBO series streaming on Max

Currently, the subject of finale viewership numbers is being interpreted and reinterpreted, but it’s fair to say that this season was expected to be divisive and did not disappoint in that manner. Craig Mazin has been upfront about pushing for four seasons, although it’s tough to see how that could happen after Pedro Pascal has effectively left the series, and flashbacks cannot last forever. Bella Ramsey and Kaitlyn Dever are both troopers in enduring internet controversy, though, and if anybody can turn around audience sentiment, then Mazin is the guy to do it.

2. MobLandParamount Plus series

Sometimes, viewers just want a meat-and-potatoes type series that delivers as promised, and that’s what they received with Tom Hardy returning to gangster mode in a series produced by Guy Ritchie. Last week saw Hardy’s fixer enduring a group dinner, and the season finale heads toward all-out war for the Harrigans and rivals. Hardy has been out there teasing how a potential followup season could go international, although Paramount has remained close-lipped on whether they will pounce upon the chance and total willingness from all involved to keep going.

1. SirensNetflix series

No second season has been greenlit for this “limited series,” but we’ll see how that goes, given how frequently that label falls aside when viewership runs high. Such is the case for this series starring Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock. The story takes cues from Greek mythology with a genuinely surprising ending on whose life changes the most after a holiday weekend spent at a lavish estate. Will the victor be happy about their spoils in the long term? Well, the ambiguity regarding that question is why some people want the story to continue.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Making Her Own Anime With A ‘Boondocks’ Producer

Anybody who pays even a little attention to Megan Thee Stallion knows that the rapper loves anime. (She runs in the same circles as Pikachu, after all.) Now, she’s getting ready to enter the world of anime full-steam, as she has her very own animated series on the way.

Per The Houston Chronicle, at the DreamCon 2025 convention in Houston this past weekend, Megan announced she partnered with Carl Jones, a producer on The Boondocks, for a new anime series. It’s set to be available on Amazon’s Prime Video, and the only other details offered came when Megan said, “You ain’t never seen an anime like this ever in your life.”

During a “fireside chat,” Megan, who was dressed as Bleach character Yoruichi Shihōin, also discussed her recently announced swimwear line, saying, “I feel like it was so easy for me to create Hot Girl Swim because I be wearing bikinis all the time. ‘Stomach out, titties out, ass out, yeah, b*tch, what about it?‘ I had to create the hot girl uniforms.”

More generally, she also said, “My proudest achievement is staying strong through adversity. I feel like a lot of people in my shoes would have gave up. The Hotties have my back.”

‘Landman’ Season 2: Everything To Know About Where Taylor Sheridan’s Toast To Texas Tea Goes Next (June 2025 Update)

landman-20-lg-banner
Paramount+

Taylor Sheridan’s recent 1923 finale left an unusual dearth of new seasons from the Yellowstone creator. Do not fear, however, because The Madison will arrive later this year, and Tulsa King is currently filming another season with Sly Stallone and Frank Grillo warring over who can wear the largest belt buckle, among other important territorial matters. Additionally, 1944 is in the works to take the Yellowstone story backward, and what of Landman?

The Billy Bob Thornton series (and arguably the TV role that the Bad Santa star was born to portray) is also rolling cameras while lighting up the Fort Worth economy with Sam Elliot joining the show. Let’s strike Texas tea on that subject and what else to expect from the second season.

Plot

Paramount Plus

Before we get to plot, some excellent news is afoot: Landman could have a lengthly future, as acknowledged by Thornton (below) and by the Fort Worth Report, which relayed how Texas lawmakers “authorized an unprecedented 10-year infusion of hundreds of millions in state film incentives.” In doing so, the effects of Sheridan’s shows were cited as an influencing factor:

Economic benefits for host communities range from dollars spent by crew members for coffee, drinks and meals to lodging, car rentals and more permanent expenditures such as sound stages and outlay for technical equipment. Sheridan’s Fort Worth-based 101 Studios has booked over 75,000 hotel room nights in Fort Worth through productions that included four TV series that each had a daily budget of $1.5 million, according to the Fort Worth Film Commission, including “The Madison,” “Lioness,” “Landman,” “Bass Reeves” and “1883.”

The love between Texas and Sheridan is mutual, as he recognized:

Sheridan, a Fort Worth resident whose Texas roots go back to the 1840s, calls the incentives “extremely important” to helping offset the immense costs of movie-making, which in turn plow dollars back into the local economy. One show spent $44.4 million in the Fort Worth area over 74 days and hired more than 1,100 Texas-based crew and more than 800 Texas cast members, according to the mayor’s office.

Considering how heavily Billy Bob and the gang’s action is focused in Fort Worth, it’s not too hard to conclude that mutual backscratching will continue.

Currently, Thornton and the cast have been filming in the area for two months, and the star admitted that everything is happening so fast, he hasn’t seen every script yet, as he told Collider. However, Thornton told Gold Derby that he’s down for as many seasons as possible:

Asked whether he is prepared for a long run for the show, Thornton doesn’t hesitate to signal his commitment to Sheridan’s latest hit, stating that this “is a show I’d like to work on for a while. I told Taylor, I said as long as you want me around, I’m here for this. I really love the show. I love doing it, I love playing this character, and I love the people I work with. Not only the cast, but the crew also is just stellar.”

As for how Sam Elliott is now aboard the Landman train, Thornton expressed so much adoration, as Collider notes:

“[Elliott’s] always been a mentor and a hero of mine,” Thornton said. “I love the guy, we have a real special relationship in real life anyway.” Although Elliott hasn’t filmed much yet, his presence on set is already making a difference. “It’s so good to see him,” Thornton added. “He lights my day up.”

So, plot? Get ready for Tommy Norris (Thornton) to be dealing with a “tornado” (in the words of Thornton to Deadline) of family upheaval (including his on-and-on wife, Angela, portrayed by Ali Larter) and professional challenges. On the latter note, he will unwittingly take over T-Mex at the behest of Cami Miller (Demi Moore) after the death of Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) in what is perhaps an ill-advised immortality quest. Is Monty really gone? The series has been filming funeral scenes in nearby Jacksboro, and Hamm did not hide his character’s status, nor did so-creator Christian Wallace.

Also, do not expect Tommy to be thrilled about his new job. He will still place himself in dangerous situations (Thornton informed Variety that Tommy will never want “to stop being a Landman”), but he knows that Cami needs to learn “street smarts,” and “[s]ince she doesn’t really know the oil business that well, I’m there with her to show her how these people operate.”

Cast

Paramount Plus

Bless Sam Elliott and his mustache. The 1883 veteran has undertaken a mysterious role. Dude knows how to wear a cowboy hat, and please please please make him antagonize Tommy Norris.

As mentioned already, Jon Hamm is out with much more Demi Moore to come as Cami learns the ropes of running T-Mex and literally takes off running (as a casting notice for an extra gave away). Other returning actors include Jacob Lofland (as Cooper), 1923‘s Michelle Randolph (as Ainsley), and Ali Larter (as Tommy’s ex-and-current flame, Angela). Presumably, we’ll see more of Andy Garcia and Paulina Chávez, too.

Release Date

Landman is sorely missed, so it’s possible that this season gets hustled out in late 2025. Surely, early 2026 is a second-place alternative.

One of these days, a teaser will surface. Until then, Tommy and Ainsley’s cringeworthy father-daughter scenes will do nicely.

Is ‘Loudermilk’ Season 4 (Still) Happening?

Loudermilk
Audience Network

For a few moments, Loudermilk co-creator Peter Farrelly was coming in hot with assurances that a fourth season would surface after Netflix began running the former Audience Network series. The idea there, of course, was based upon how Netflix is the master at reinvigorating cancelled series like the Penn Badgley-starring You and Neil Gaiman’s Lucifer for additional seasons.

Could that be the case for Ron Livingston’s misanthrope and the gang? That’s what Farrelly wanted (for the series to be revived somewhere, preferably Netflix), and he appeared confident on the subject: “Absolutely. Guaranteed. A hundred percent. I’m going to do two more seasons.”

The There’s Something About Mary co-director added that no streaming location was yet confirmed to pick up the former Audience Network but that Sam Loudermilk’s “book blew up,” and that story must be told. Over a year has passed since Farrelly publicly enthused in that way, so it’s time to check in on Livingston’s unrepentant a-hole.

Is Loudermilk Season 4 (Still) Happening?

Uncertain. Not wonderful news, right? Both optimism and pessimism is coming from key parties from the series. For instance, Anja Savcic (Claire) recently offered only that “I know they’re working on it.” Presumably, she’s talking about a green light, whereas a wet blanket response came from an appropriate place, which is from the dude who embodied Sam Loudermilk.

Ron Livingston came down to earth on told Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast:

“Everybody discovered it … There’s that moment where you’re like, ‘Let’s get the band back together and make more!’ I don’t know if that’s going to happen. It’s probably not going to happen, but … I’d love it if it did.”

However, both Peter and Bobby Farrelly are keeping their dreams alive. Last November, the duo gave a slight update while promoting Dear Santa and speaking with the Playlist.

“We’ve been talking to the Duplass Brothers about continuing it,” Bobby Farrelly said. “We had a five- to seven-year plan, and we were on the brink of greatness. The show was just about to go in a totally unexpected and fun direction.”

And that Duplass mention takes things full circle to Ron Livingston and Mark Duplass frequently being confused for each other. If you haven’t heard of that oddness, then now you’ll never unsee it.

Regardless of whether or not this mysterious Loudermilk revival will happen, Peter Farrelly promises that the show’s original cast would hop aboard in a heartbeat, if given the chance. Hint hint.

Does ‘The Terminal List’ Prequel Series ‘Dark Wolf’ Have A Release Date?

Earlier this year, Chris Pratt began filming The Terminal List‘s second season nearly three years after the Prime Video/Amazon show debuted. That’s a hell of a wait, sure. However, the psychological thriller series, which is based upon ex-Navy SEAL Jack Carr’s novel, will spin off with The Terminal List: Dark Wolf that will arrive much sooner. Pratt’s James Reece will appear in both series, although Dark Wolf will mainly focus upon the origin story of Taylor Kitsch’s Ben Edwards and will go off-book to “delve deeper into his story and follow his journey from a Navy SEAL to a CIA operative.”

However, the Ben Edwards-focused story is no mere placeholder for multiple reasons. Those include how Dark Wolf will introduce characters who will appear in The Terminal List‘s second season, so the logistics of this prequel series’ arrival will be of interest to all franchise viewers.

When Is The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Coming Out?

Prime Video/Amazon

August 27. On that date, three episodes will drop, and weekly episodes will follow until September 24. Amazon has also provided a synopsis:

Co-created by The New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Jack Carr, and Season One creator-showrunner David DiGilio, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a prequel series with an origin story that follows “Ben Edwards” (Taylor Kitsch) throughout his journey from the Navy SEALs to the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. The series is an espionage thriller that explores the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it. It also features Chris Pratt reprising his role as “James Reece.”

Pratt has promised that the franchise’s decision to “seed” characters for The Terminal List‘s ongoing story will lead to results that are “going to be out of this world, dude. I’m really f*cking pumped.”

The first season of The Terminal List is streaming on Prime Video/Amazon.
