New York City's Governors Ball has revealed its lineup. The festival will be headlined by Kanye West, The Strokes and The Killers, with the likes of Robyn, Eagles Of Death Metal, Haim, Chvrches and Father John Misty also on the bill.

The festival, which takes place at Randall's Island Park in June, welcomes back two previous headliners - Kanye West, who headlined three years ago in 2013, and The Strokes who played the year after.

This is The Killers' first time headlining the festival though, and they'll be flanked by a veritable feast of world-class acts - including Eagles Of Death Metal, for their first confirmed US performance since the Paris terror attacks last November, during which over 100 fans were shot dead at their gig.

Some other Gigwise favourites who'll be performing over the festival's three days include Beck, Robyn, Haim, Chet Faker, Chvrches, Father John Misty, Jamie xx, Bloc Party, Courtney Barnett, Years & Years, Christine & The Queens, Bat For Lashes, Bully and many more.

Governors Ball takes place at Randall's Island Park in New York City between 3 and 5 June. See the full line-up poster below, and get tickets and more information here.
