A season of incredible shows is before us at Forest Hills Stadium!
Today, Forest Hills Stadium in Queens released its lineup for its 2023 Centennial season, and it includes some must-see acts like Kevin Hart, Dave Matthews Band, Soccer Mommy, Fall Out Boy, Arctic Monkeys, Duran Duran, Weezer, Future Islands, The Strokes, Angel Olsen and more.
The new season will feature 30 music and comedy performances, representing the “most diverse and exciting list of performances yet,” according to a press release. It’s no coincidence that such a great lineup has been made this year—it’s the stadium’s 100-year anniversary.

Over its history, Forest Hills Stadium has hosted huge moments in sports and entertainment including notable concerts of the 1960s and ’70s, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles (it’s where they landed their helicopter on the grass courts), Jimi Hendrix (who opened for The Monkees) and Bob Dylan (immediately followed his appearance at The Newport Folk Festival).
“We’ve come a long way since that first show with our brothers in arms Mumford and Sons, who bravely stepped up to play the opening night back in 2013,” said Mike Luba, the executive responsible for the stadium’s rehabilitation who produces concerts at the venue in coordination with The Bowery Presents. “It’s been incredibly rewarding to ride along with the stadium crew, the hundreds of artists, our invaluable community neighbors and partners as well as the over 1 million folks who have found their way out to the magic oasis of a stadium smack in the middle of Queens.”
