The announcement of Forest Hills Stadium’s 2026 concert lineup signals the return of long summer nights and live music in Queens. The news also arrives with a sigh of relief after a years-long legal dispute between the stadium and residents in the surrounding neighborhood was officially settled.
This year’s lineup continues Forest Hills Stadium’s reputation of bringing together artists and fans from across the musical spectrum. The bills spans genres and generations, with iconic headliners like Bob Dylan, Erykah Badu, Paul Simon, David Byrne, Foster the People, Bright Eyes, Dave Matthews Band, Wilco, Sarah McLachlan, Jon Batiste, and more set to perform.
Originally built in 1923, Forest Hills Stadium has stapled itself as one of New York’s most beloved outdoor music venue. The stage became a defining stop during the 1960s and 1970s, hosting landmark performances from artists including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, and Simon & Garfunkel.
Alongside its historic legacy, Forest Hills Stadium is also looking toward the future. As part of its Green Initiative, the stadium will continue its sustainability efforts this season, including free filtered water refill stations, solar-powered phone charging stations, and the use of energy-efficient lighting.
Concertgoers planning to attend shows this season should note that AXS is the official ticketing partner for Forest Hills Stadium. Attendees are encouraged to download the AXS mobile app and have tickets loaded before arriving at the venue.
