Here are the artists you need to check out from New York's biggest music festival

Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider

This weekend is the annual Governors Ball music festival on Randall's Island in New York City.

Throughout the three-day festival, over 60 musicians will perform, with headliners like Kanye West, The Strokes, The Killers, and Beck leading the weekend. 

While those names might be recognizable to any casual music fan, we decided to pick out some lesser-known acts performing that are worth checking out.

Years & Years

For a lot of attendees, festivals are a time to dance your heart out. There's probably no better act on the Governors Ball bill to provide that soundtrack than dance-pop trio Years & Years, whose anthemic music locates the sweet spot that Passion Pit has been riding for nearly a decade.

If you're looking for a reason to skip out on work early on Friday, Years & Years is it.

Friday June 3 - Honda Stage - 3:00 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.

Jamie XX

Jamie XX burst out of the shadow of his popular indie outfit The XX last year with the catchy and emotional dance/electronic album "In Colour."

Between that excellent collection of songs and his frequently updated Spotify playlist of music played during his concerts, it's clear the DJ/producer knows how to put on a killer set. 

Friday June 3 - Bacardi House Stage - 8:00 p.m. - 9:15 p.m.

Jon Bellion

Jon Bellion is multitalented. The musician writes, produces, and sings all of his own music, which brings a hip-hop swagger to a unique blend of R&B and indie-pop.

He cites influences as disparate as Kanye West, John Mayer, and Andre 3000. Amazingly, the mix works. 

Saturday June 4 - Big Apple Stage - 2:15 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
