After the organizers of Governors Ball made the announcement earlier this year that the beloved three-day festival would be returning to Queens, it seems the festival’s 10th anniversary event is moving forward as scheduled. And while “plans” these days only mean so much, what holds more weight are lineup announcements, and this year’s edition has arrived. The lineup for Governors Ball 2021 is all-star, to stay the least. Set to take the stage will be a slew of superstar artists such as RÜFÜS DU SOL, Jamie XX, and Ellie Goulding, among many others. A-Trak will be throwing down on two separate occasions: first on Saturday with his brother—Dave 1 of Chromeo—as The Brothers Macklovitch, and again with Armand Van Helden...

After tormenting the dance music world back in January 2020 by releasing their stellar debut streaming effort, The Brothers Macklovitch are finally back after a near 4-month gap.
