Post Malone Loved His Madame Tussauds Wax Figure So Much That He Wondered If It Could Perform On His Behalf

Post Malone is tempted to take a page from Lil Nas X’s book. In 2022, Lil Nas X’s Madame Tussauds wax figure resembled him so well that he used it to prank call Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzo, and several other famous friends. Post met his wax figure while backstage at Governors Ball 2024, which he headlined on June 7, and he already has plans to use it to his advantage.

“Are you f*cking kidding me?” Post said upon seeing the figure, as shown in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by Consequence. “I literally thought that was a person. Is this real hair? Whose hair is it? Mine? That was y’all in my shower?”

While giggling, Post also asked, “Can this do my shows for me? I’d love to catch up on sleep.”

Then, Post temporarily tricked his mother into believing they took his real hair from his shower to use for the wax figure.

Post Malone’s wax figure will be featured at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, while the real Post Malone will headline Bonnaroo Music Festival 2024 in Manchester, Tennessee on Friday, June 14, and he may or may not be tattooing an explicit image onto Steve-O’s forehead while he’s there.

It’s about that time; January is traditionally when the year’s slate of festival lineups is announced, and New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival is no exception. Here’s everything we know about Governors Ball 2024.

When Is Governors Ball 2024?

The dates for Governors Ball 2024 have not yet been announced. Governors Ball 2023 took place June 9-11, so it’s likely that the 2024 edition will take place in early June.

Where Is Governors Ball 2024 Held?

The Governors Ball is held annually in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York.

Who Is Headlining Governors Ball 2024?

The headliners for Governors Ball 2024 have not yet been announced. The 2023 edition featured performances from Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo, and Odesza, as well as Diplo, Lil Baby, Lil Nas X, Lil Uzi Vert, Omar Apollo, Rina Sawayama, and Sofi Tukker.

When Does The Governors Ball 2024 Lineup Come Out?

Who Is Headlining Governors Ball 2024?

December 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The 2024 music festival season is on track to revival this year. So far, Lollapalooza has announced their international installments (Chile, Brasil, India, and Argentina) of the event. Domestically, Bonnaroo, Solid Sound, Stagecoach, Sol Blume, and Dreamville Fest have already begun to roll their lineups. Now, all eyes are on the holdout like Governors Ball.

Who is headlining Governors Ball 2024?

As of today (December 19), organizers for the multi-day festival have not announced the lineup. Fans eager to iron out their plans for summer 2024 have been speculating who could appear. For the 2023 festivities, the headliners included Lizzo, Odesza, and Kendrick Lamar. These entertainers had released a new project at the time or were reentering mainstream popularity.

Keeping that in mind, festivalgoers are sharing their dream lineup online, which lists Peso Pluma, SZA, Nicki Minaj, and Travis Scott as potential headliners. Unfortunately, it will be a while until the official lineup for Governors Ball 2024 is made public. For now, supporters are just going to have to sit patient.

If this year’s festival could stand up despite the Canadian wildfire smoke aftermath, next year should be no problem.

When Will The Governors Ball 2024 Lineup Come Out?

December 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NYC’s annual music festival, Governors Ball, will be returning during the summer of 2024. Typically held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park now, attendees who are interested in going might want to know exactly who is playing before buying tickets — or making the trek from another state.

Here’s what to know.

When Will The Governors Ball 2024 Lineup Come Out?

While it’s currently the holiday season, it also means that the release of the Gov Ball lineup is right around the corner. In both 2022 and 2023, the music festival unveiled it at some point in January, building anticipation and giving guests a few months to prepare.

So, right now, it is still unknown who exactly will be taking the festival stages. That hasn’t stopped speculation on Reddit, however, as users are trying to sleuth some of the lineup by using the radius clause — meaning who doesn’t have an NYC-based show.

Claire Rosinkranz is allegedly confirmed, as one user pointed out she has a Governors Ball Presents show that summer. Other potential acts include Bleachers, Chappell Roan, Tyla, Teezo Touchdown, Idles, Greta Van Fleet, and Inzo.

Others in the comments have also been hoping for Lorde, Jpegmafia, The Killers, and more. Red Hot Chili Peppers are also listed, but as an unlikely possibility — just not completely ruled out. To reiterate, though, this is all fan speculation.

Those wanting more information about Gov Ball 2024 can sign up on their website.

Lil Nas X “Didn’t Want To Perform” After Tech Issues At Governors Ball

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Despite concerns over air quality, New York’s Governors Ball music festival still took place over the weekend. While plenty of artists had great performances, Lil Nas X struggled with technical difficulties throughout. The “Industry Baby” rapper took the stage on Sunday in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Unfortunately, shortly into the set he started experiencing technical difficulties and had to take a 10-minute delay. According to Page Six, the technical issues carried on throughout the show.

Their source claims that Lil Nas X performed “very begrudgingly” following the issues. They also report that dancers practically “had to carry the show” as Nas X’s mic had continual problems. He was reportedly excited to perform before the show started but quickly got frustrated. “There were a lot of logistics that were off, and it all accumulated onstage when the mic wasn’t working,” their inside source reports. Though neither Lil Nas X or Governors Ball had any comment on the performance, it seems like everyone agreed it could be better.

Lil Nas X Deals With Technical Difficulties

Nas wasn’t the only artist making headlines for his Governors Ball set. After his performance, Kendrick Lamar closed out the whole festival with an extravagant show. He left fans with a message that he would “be back” which sparked plenty of discourse online about what he meant. Fans also seemed to adore Ice Spice’s set where the rapidly ascending star unpacked all her most well-known songs in an adorable jean fit.

Lil Nas X has been silent when it comes to new music so far this year. His most recent new release is still the League Of Legends-affiliated single “STAR WALKIN’” from last year. With his debut album MONTERO turning two in a few months fans have been begging for news on when new music may come. Earlier this year he posted a Twitter thread explaining some plans for a new album. Though with the superstar’s common social media antics, it’s hard to know when exactly he means what he says.
