A respectable contingent of local artists will grace the annual New York festival in June
The yearly Governors Ball music festival in New York City has increasingly done a good job of peppering in some international flavour to its always-esteemed line-up, with this year's roster featuring a particularly talented crop of Aussie artists.
Repping the nation at the fancy to-do will be electro luminary Flume, as well as west-coast prodigy Kevin Parker — who will team up with old mate Mark Ronson for their joint set — plus unstoppable pop/rap queen Tkay Maidza, stalwart dance-pop crew RÜFÜS (as RÜFÜS DU SOL) and resurgent plunderphonics trailblazers The Avalanches, fresh off a keenly received recent batch of festival and headline shows. From across the ditch, Lorde is also set to make her return to the spotlight.
The wider line-up is stuffed with big names of all walks, from Tool, Phoenix and Air to Chance The Rapper, Childish Gambino, Wu-Tang Clan to Mac Demarco, Parquet Courts, Michael Kiwanuka and Warpaint, among several others.
The annual festival hits New York's Randall's Island Park from 2-4 June.
