Take a break from your winter-storm prepping to daydream about a warmer time: specifically, this summer and the eighth annual Governors Ball, which takes over NYC's Randalls Island June 1–3. The festival's lineup has been announced, and there's a lot to take in. Eminem, Jack White, Travis Scott and Yeah Yeah Yeahs take the top spots (you did listen to that new Eminem album, right?), joined by Halsey, N.E.R.D. and rising R&B star Khalid.

Headliners are only part of the equation, though. As usual, there's a long list of worthwhile acts to check out, including YouTube sensation turned pop singer Maggie Rogers, a new collaboration with Mark Ronson and Diplo, human bouncing ball Lil Uzi Vert, jubilant rapper/singer DRAM, Nashville country singer Margo Price, charismatic wordsmith 2 Chainz, passionate indie-rockers Japandroids, electronic/R&B artist Kelela, hip-hop "boy band" Brockhampton (which was one of our favorite acts at Afropunk last year), Oregon rapper Aminé and upstart pop singer Kali Uchis. We didn't even mention Third Eye Blind, who by the way, are playing.
Tickets have been on sale since December, but today you can get them for "special announce day pricing."
To recap: Yes, summer music festival season seems a million miles away—but now that Coachella and GovBall have announced their lineups, you at least have something to set your sights (and ears) on.
