Recent festival performances showcase the resurgence of guitar music among younger generations, as exemplified by Turnstile's album release and Olivia Rodrigo's headline show at Governors Ball. Despite their differing genres, both events highlight a shared excitement for live music. Rodrigo, a pop star, incorporates rock elements into her performances, challenging perceptions that pop music has eclipsed rock. Her engaging and energetic set, complete with a full band and theatrical elements, indicates a crossover appeal that resonates with young audiences, breathing new life into the rock genre.
Her performance was arguably closer to them, however, than Lizzo, Billie Eilish, or other pop acts who have topped the fest's bill.
Where your typical pop headline will bring elaborate stage constructions and/or intricate dance routines, Rodrigo brought a full band and pyro.
