Governors Ball notably marks the only live date Missy Elliott has scheduled so far for 2020. The rapper has made just a handful of festival appearances over the past few years, popping up at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans in 2018 and 2019, and last year also performing at Pharrell’s Something in the Water Festival in Virginia. Missy released an EP, Iconology, in 2019 that marked her first record since 2005’s The Cookbook.
Most of the other top-billed headliners at Governors Ball have projects out or in the works: Tame Impala will release their new LP, The Slow Rush, in February; Cyrus is reportedly prepping a new album, She Is Miley Cyrus, for later this year; and Vampire Weekend and Flume both dropped projects in 2019.
