Forest Hills Stadium unveils 2026 lineup from June 6 to Oct. 10
Forest Hills Stadium in Queens has laid out a 2026 concert season that runs from June 6 through Oct. 10, giving the 13,000-seat venue more than four months of programmed dates. The schedule opens with Bright Eyes and Built to Spill and closes with Foster The People and Goth Babe.
Queens gets a long run
June 6 starts the stretch with Bright Eyes and Built to Spill, followed by Dave Matthews Band on June 10 and The Black Crowes with Whiskey Myers and Southall on June 13. That early cluster matters for local traffic around the venue, since the calendar stays active almost every month through fall.
June 19 brings Rock The Blessings: Juneteenth for the People, and June 20 brings Wilco with Yo La Tengo. The venue is also bringing back All Things Go Festival, while AXS remains the official ticketing partner for the season.
Bob Dylan and July dates
July keeps the booking pace steady with Kes on June 27, Sarah McLachlan with Allison Russell on July 11, Djo with Pond on July 17, Bob Dylan with Lucinda Williams, Jimmie Vaughan and the Tilt-A-Whirl Band on July 21, and Caamp with Mon Rovîa and Hannah Cohen on July 23. The mix of legacy acts and newer names gives the stadium a schedule that is built for repeat visits, not a one-week burst.
Aug. 20, Aug. 21 and Aug. 22 are set for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, with the final night billed as a Rave Show. Zac Brown Band with Grace Potter follows on Aug. 27 and Aug. 28, then Empire of the Sun with Polo and Pan and Midnight Generation plays Aug. 29.
From September to Oct. 10
Sept. 29 brings Dermot Kennedy with Jonah Kagen, Oct. 2 brings Geese, and Oct. 10 ends the season with Foster The People and Goth Babe. Billboard named Forest Hills Stadium one of the top music venues on the East Coast in 2025, and this lineup is the kind of year-long scheduling that keeps that reputation working for it.
Queens-based entrepreneur John Sanchez said he would love to see The Black Crowes sing, ‘She Talks to Angels,’ live or Zeds Dead perform ‘Eyes on Fire,’ this summer, and added, “I also think it’s great that local businesses benefit from the increased foot traffic.” For a neighborhood that depends on a steady concert calendar, this season is less a single launch than a long stretch of repeat business.
