Governors Ball typically permits entry until about 8–9pm each festival day, though the exact cutoff depends on crowd levels and staff capacity. If you plan to arrive around 8:15pm on Friday ahead of Tyler, the Creator’s set starting roughly at 8:30pm, you will likely still be allowed entry.
However, expect potential delays at security and gate lines during this peak time. Arriving earlier is always safer to avoid missing main acts. Tickets remain valid until the festival closes near 10pm, and staff generally honor late arrivals while managing safe crowd flow.
For those coming late on Friday, be prepared for variable gate policies and wait times, as there is no fixed official cutoff announced yet for 2025. Stay tuned to official Governors Ball channels for any last-minute updates on entry policies.
