Mariah the Scientist's Governors Ball Set Canceled Last Minute ‘Due to Unforeseen Circumstances'
Mariah the Scientist is not taking the stage at Governors Ball 2025 today (Saturday, June 7), even though her name had remained on the day's reworked schedule after the New York City festival experienced a four-and-a-half hour delay in opening. Billboard learned of the cancellation on the ground at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. No announcement was heard at the event, and the change of plans came with no explanation.

The social media message simply stated, 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mariah the Scientist will no longer be able to perform.' The 'Burning Blue' singer-songwriter — whose breakthrough hit is her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where the single currently sits at No. 35 — later acknowledged the cancellation on her Instagram account, writing, 'So upset I'm not getting to perform at Gov Ball today. I'm so sorry to everybody who showed up through the traffic and rain. I apologize.' She later added a photo showing a rainy view through a window with the caption 'I really wanted to perform.' Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Mariah and Governors Ball for further comment. The three-day outdoor festival, which launched Friday, opened doors hours later than expected on day two due to forecasts of rain and thunder in the area. While those in line on Saturday were originally meant to be let in at 12 p.m., doors were delayed until 4:30 p.m. With the weather delay, early sets by Lexa Gates, Yaya Bey, The Backfires and others were removed completely from Saturday's schedule, while several later performances were pushed back an hour or more. Olivia Rodrigo's headlining set on the main stage was moved to 9:25 p.m.; Feid and Wave to Earth, both set to close other stages, had their set times shifted to 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. Hozier, Mt. Joy, Clairo, Raye, Royel Otis, The Japanese House and more are on the bill for Governors Ball 2025's third day on Sunday (June 8).
