If you paid to watch an artist perform, you shouldn’t be putting extra effort to disrupt the performance.

New York City came out in droves for the 4th Annual Governors Ball at Randall’s Island this past weekend for some great music, free Ben and Jerry‘s ice cream, and excessively priced merchandise.
