10 Reasons To Get Your A$$ To Governor's Ball 2012

Like music? Like festivals? Like raging? Like chillin in beautiful 80 degree weather...IN NYC...on an island? Then you need to be here.

10. The line-up speaks for itself. And splits the days up like Songza (based on what you're into). Saturday is for the ragers. Sunday is more relaxed for hippies & rock stars.

9. Forget the boring food--their food line-up is even more note-worthy. Featuring NYC faves such as Luke's Lobster, Phil's Steaks, Wafels N Dinges, and of course, Coolhaus (SHOUT-OUT!). Nothing sets the atmosphere like food + music.

8. No over-lapping sets. You can pee on your own time. Finalllllllly.

7. You can dance at the Silent Disco. Creepy? But kind of a dance experience you need to do at least three times in your life. You may get hooked.

Just read the description:

"Imagine hundreds of people dancing their asses off while wearing wireless headphones that play music from live DJs. This is, in a nutshell, The Silent Disco. Whether you’re watching the dance party from afar or challenging your friends to a dance off, there is no doubt you will leave entertained. And thanks to our headphones partner Sennheiser, folks will be able to slip on a super light weight pair of wireless headphones that emit crystal clear sound, top quality beats, and thumpin’ bass. Good music + top notch sound + bad dance moves = great times. Do yourself a favor and make sure you come by The Silent Disco at Gov Ball 2012 – you will not be sorry!"

6. You don't need to pay bajillions for a sip of water to stay hydrated. There is FREE camelbak water refill stations.

5. Founders Entertainment features Tom Russell (Billboard's 2011 30 under 30)--he hails from Superfly Productions, the ones that produce Bonnaroo. Very cool.

4. Passion Pit is a headliner. And if "Take a Walk" is any indication of how awesome the rest of the album is, then you need to be there.

4. Walk the Moon is probably going to be the NEXT BEST band of 2012. They play an early set, but "Anna Sun" is already the "official song of the summer" by MTV Buzzworthy & Seventeen.

3. Fiona Apple just announced she is going on tour. And Governor's Ball is the first venue that she will be playing her new album "The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do."

2. The map was released so you can plan where to rendezvous with your buddies.
