Headliners at this year's Governors Ball will be Chance the Rapper, Phoenix, Childish Gambino and... Tool?

The festival will mark Tool's first gig in New York City since May 2006, when the '90s rock band performed a set of shows at New York City Center.

Now in its seventh year, the event set to take place June 2 to 4 on Randall's Island will also feature Lorde, Wu-Tang Clan, Wiz Khalifa and dozens of other artists, organizers said Wednesday morning.

A limited batch of tickets for the festival — the East Coast's answer to Coachella — go on sale Friday at noon.

We're hoping that this year's weather stays drier than last's, as organizers had to cancel the final day of performances in 2016 due to forecasts of severe weather and lightning in the vicinity of Randall's Island.
