The Governors Ball: An Educational Live Music Experience

Tom Russell, Co-Founder of Founders Entertainment, the company behind The Governors Ball, expressed his excitement about having School of Rock students perform at the festival. “We're so excited to have students from School of Rock Brooklyn and School of Rock Queens playing at The Governors Ball this year. We can't wait to see them perform their sets, and you never know, one of them might just end up closing out the main stage at a future Gov Ball.”
