A local agreement has been reached to limit concerts at Forest Hills Stadium to 28 per season while ensuring a portion of the venue’s earnings benefits the surrounding neighborhood. Despite the 2026 season already concluding, two shows—by Fontaines D.C. and Iceage—have been scheduled for late September next year. The decision reflects a balance between live music operations and community reinvestment. Fans and organizers are weighing the implications of the new restrictions on future performances.
The three parties all agreed that Forest Hills Stadium will only host 28 concerts per season and that the venue will redirect some of its revenue into the Forest Hills neighborhood. Forest Hills' 2026 concert season is already over. Right now, the only shows on the venue's schedule are a pair of gigs from Fontaines D.C. and Iceage, set for Sep. 28-29 next year. submitted by /u/NYCIndieConcerts [link] [comments]
