“Did it say ‘storm is in the area?’” Rachel Chinouriri asked after settling into a tent on the grounds at Gov Ball. The English musician was still getting the hang of the ever-changing nature of New York summer weather — which this past weekend included a fair share of flash storms — but was in high spirits nonetheless.

I kind of want to chill,” she said of her summer ahead. “I wish I could chill, but this is fun.” ...
