Indie rock veterans Fleet Foxes wrapped up the North American leg of the Shore Tour on Saturday, August 13th, at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens. Shore was released almost two years ago in September, 2020 and the band was finally able to kick off the lengthy tour earlier this summer with a hometown show at Seattle’s Moore Theater. Support for the show came from Nigerian-born and North Carolina-raised Uwade, who also joined Fleet Foxes for several songs and covers. Check out the full photo gallery below.
Fleet Foxes played a lengthy, 27-song setlist in Queens, including several covers and some songs performed solo by frontman Robin Pecknold. During the main set, the band covered “Phoenix” by Big Red Machine and “The Kiss” by Judee Sill. During the encore, Uwade rejoined the band for a rendition of The Strokes’ “Under Control”. For the encore, the band dressed the part and sported all white, custom tennis whites; a classic look for the long-standing tennis club of Forest Hills.
The show in Queens was the last in the US for Fleet Foxes. The band heads to Europe at the end of August for a short leg of dates in the UK and across Europe. Head over to the band’s website for the full tour schedule.
