We can wholeheartedly attest that Foster the People puts on one of the best live shows around. As far as dance parties go, this one’s a sure thing. See more pics by Nick Karp here…
Who’s got more moves than Janella Monae? If you’re looking to shake your hips to some soul, go see The Electric Lady in action on Day 1 (Friday 6/6) of Governors Ball 2014. See more pics by Joe Russo here…
There’s a few serious Frank Turner fans here at Waster Inc, and they would probably raise some hell if he wasn’t included on this list of must-see acts. See more pics by Nicole Mago…

If you haven’t seen the spectacle that is Empire of the Sun yet, you are kinda late, but that’s okay. You can quickly redeem yourself by wearing something super flashy and catching their wild set during Day 3.
By now you’re craving some good ol’ fashioned rock n roll, right? Us too. And that’s why you should look for us bobbin’ our heads along to Kurt Vile’s set on Day 1. See more pics by Emily Korn…
If you’re looking to get lucky at Governors Ball, turn on the mojo and head over to wherever The 1975 is playing on Day 1. The UK darlings put on a sexy-ass set that might just inspire an epic festival love-in.

Jack Antonoff of fun. has a new band called Bleachers, and judging by their totally catchy single ‘I Wanna Get Better’, we really just wanna hear more, more, more. See more photos by Michel Dussack…
Alison (vox) is in The Dead Weather with Jack White, and Jamie (guitar) is married to Kate Moss. But before all that, The Kills were simply the most badass duo since Bonnie and Clyde. An absolute must-see!
