Olivia Rodrigo, Benson Boone, FEID, and More Brought the Best Performances to Gov Ball 2025
As the temps start rising into a blistering summer heat and our speakers turn up a few decibels, that can only mean one thing: festival season is officially upon us. Whether you hit the grounds to discover new artists, try some next-level bites, or pull up in your best outfits, music festivals are the best place to hang out and build a community. All of the above were accomplished at New York City's very own Governors Ball, as its return to Flushing Meadows Corona Park marked its 15th anniversary and gave us an extra reason to pull up and celebrate. The festival felt like a perfectly curated soundtrack to our summer—with headliners like Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier offering set after set of jaw-dropping energy. Even with weather delays smack in the middle of the festival, crowds formed for their fave artists, and every genre found its spotlight: T‑Pain brought on some Y2K nostalgia, Clairo serenaded festival goers in the soft rain, and indie's rising star stole the hearts of newfound fans. Whether you were vibing through Benson Boone's backflips or bouncing with The Beaches, the energy was seriously contagious. It's no wonder Gov Ball has been New York's must-see festival for 15 unstoppable years, and of course, some of Cosmo's editors were on the grounds to witness it all and gush about the best sets from Gov Ball's 2025 lineup.

The Best Polka Dot Dresses to Shop, As Worn by It-Girl Charli XCX
It's official: polka dots are everywhere right now. Long considered twee, the pattern has been enjoying a cool girl revival as of late, with the likes of Clairo, Chloe Fineman and Olivia Rodrigo all putting their own spin on the look. However, the ultimate cool girl Charli XCX has just given the trend her seal of approval, wearing a polka dot dress in her new video for 'party 4 u.' Styled by Chris Horan, the video follows Charli leaving an after party in the early hours of the morning, and wandering out into the road (as you do). Her outfit features a dress made from multi-coloured polka dot silk scarves by Paris-based design studio All-In, worn with her signature black wrap-around shades and a black Coach Tabby shoulder bag (she also donned Coach's other it-girl fave, the Brooklyn bag, earlier this week). Thankfully, she takes the dress off before ripping apart a billboard plastered with her own face, covering it in black paint, and then setting the whole thing on fire. Rough night, hey. The single is in fact not new, as it is taken from her 2020 album How I'm Feeling Now, which preceded the success of brat. Real ones (AKA me) remember! The song, and Charli's older music, has recently gained popularity on TikTok as people realize that, actually, she has always been a hitmaker. Good to see they're catching up. If anyone could convince me that polka dots are no longer solely reserved for Minnie Mouse, it's her. So, whether you've got several wedding invitations, festivals, or messy parties planned, a polka dot dress is going to be your ultimate companion. Below, I've found the best ones to shop now, including the exact one worn by Charli. Rebecca Jane Hill is the Senior Fashion Editor at Cosmopolitan UK.

Clairo pulls out of Primavera Sound 2025
Clairo has pulled out of Primavera Sound 2025 due to 'logistical issues'. The 26-year-old singer/songwriter had been due to perform at the festival in Barcelona on June 6 but has now axed her appearance completely. She said in a statement on Instagram: 'Unfortunately, I'm not able to make it to Primavera this year and I'm so sad about it, because Primavera is iconic and returning to the fest is something I've been looking forward to for ages. 'There are some logistical issues with getting my show to/from Primavera that have forced my hand here. I never want to give my fans anything but the absolute best set I can do, and that won't be possible at this time. I'm so sorry again and I hope to be able to make it up to you sooner than later.' A message from Primavera stated: 'We are deeply saddened by this news and share the fans' frustration. We, too, were very much looking forward to welcoming her again at Primavera Sound Barcelona.' Sabrina Carpenter, HAIM, Beach House, TV On The Radio, Wet Leg and others will still perform on June 6, while Charli XCX and Chappell Roan will headline on the other days. Meanwhile, Clairo previously revealed that Charli XCX helped her to learn to appreciate her old songs, after they performed her song 'Sofia' from her debut album 'Immunity' during a joint appearance at the Laneway festival. She told Seventeen magazine: 'It's so funny—I didn't think people would mind that I didn't play it, but it became a problem. I got myself into a pickle. 'We were doing this festival in Australia and New Zealand called Laneway, and Charli was headlining. We played a few shows, and she told me she watched my set the day before. But she was like, 'Where's 'Sofia'?' and I said, 'I don't play it. Don't you have any songs where you're just like, Man, we've done it a lot'?' Then we came up with the idea to play it together. I was like, 'Well, if anyone can make me sing it again, I think it would be you, Miss Charli.' So we planned on it and had no sound check. We sort of winged it and it was awesome.'

Fans 'fuming' as major star suddenly drops out of Primavera with weeks to go
In just a few weeks time Clairo was due to perform at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival, but fans are fuming as she's only just announced she is dropping out. The Pretty Girl singer, 26, announced the news via the festival's official Instagram page in a statement which explained the cancellation is due to 'logistical issues'. 'Hi Barcelona friends,' the Charm hitmaker began. 'Unfortunately, I'm not able to make it to Primavera this year and I'm so sad about it, because Primavera is iconic and returning to the fest is something I've been looking forward to for ages. 'There are some logistical issues with getting my show to/from Primavera that have forced my hand here. 'I never want to give my fans anything but the absolute best set I can do, and that won't be possible at this time. 'I'm so sorry again and I hope to be able to make it up to you sooner than later.' She also captioned the news with: 'I'm so sorry Barcelona. We'll be back soon.' Primavera added to her announcement acknowledging the fans' 'frustration' which they said they shared. 'We regret to annunce that Clairo has cancelled her performance at Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025,' the festival said. 'We are deeply saddened by this news and share the fans' frustration. 'We, too, were very much looking forward to welcoming her again at Primavera Sound Barcelona.' Fans were not satisfied with Clairo's explanation, as @laviedesan took to X and said: 'I love Clairo so much, but I'm tired of the lack of respect artists have for countries outside the US. 'You can't cancel your show just because your team didn't plan your festivals dates properly and chose the one in New York over Primavera Sound.' 'The logistics Clairo gave to cancel primavera is honestly hilarious because I watched her coachella set and….. I'm confused. What kind of equipment are you having difficulties bringing to spain? You can't bring a piano and a guitar to Europe?' asked @missmoroccana. 'It's a month away – fix it,' fumed @Umer_885, adding: 'Feel bad for fans who bought tickets just for her.' @SebastianArizaS simply said, 'FUMING'. Clairo was billed to perform at Primavera Sound on June 6, and the star is booked in for a gig in New York at The Governors Ball on June 8 in a lineup that was announced in January. It is unclear whether this NY booking is the reason behind her 'logistical issue' in getting her show to Europe. The star is only playing a handful of festivals this summer. She will be making the journey for BST Hyde Park on June 5 and 6, before heading over to Hinterland Festival in Iowa on August 1, and Lollapalooza Festival on August 2. Primavera's line-up luckily isn't lacking – as it is returning this summer with the three biggest pop stars in the world right now signed on as headliners: Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter. The 23rd edition of the festival, which will be held at Parc del Fòrum from June 4-8 in Barcelona, will also see performances from LCD Soundsystem, FKA Twigs, HAIM, Jamie xx, Fontaines D.C., Beach House, IDLES, Turnstile and more.
