Forest Hills Stadium

It’s a great venue. Like an intimate stadium concert. It’s also in a wonderful neighborhood. My only gripe about it is that it’s far from me, but that’s ok! I save my trips there for great concerts.

Really enjoyed this venue, like other reviews have said there's no parking, traffic begins to pile up a few streets before so plan accordingly. Security tries to get everyone in as fast as possible, so that's a plus. The venue itself is perfect, the sound travels well, and you can see the artists even if you're all the way back. The only downsides are the sun/heat (since it's outdoor) and the curfew.

This is one of the best outdoor venues in all of New York City and as an avid concert enthusiast that’s saying a lot. I may be a little biased because I can walk to this venue since it’s under a mile from my apartment in Kew Gardens. So, depending on where you’re coming from, the trek here could be tedious despite the venue being just off the LIRR and the E and F. But once you’re here, this 13k capacity tennis stadium feels intimate and unique. Shows begin early because there’s a strict 10pm curfew which can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of person you are. But I wholeheartedly recommend seeing a show here. The Beatles famously played here!

Truly, this is a wonderful venue. While there is no parking here, there are plenty of garages in the are, as well as it being a train stop. The venue itself is the perfect size for a good show, while having great seating almost no matter where you sit. Please note, all seating is bleacher unless you get the seats in the center (401, 501, 601, 701) but be aware there are 2 large poles that may obstruct views in sections 401 and 701. Plenty of food and drink options (though alcohol is pricey, I've come to expect it from venues). Bathrooms are among the best I've seen at venues, and they do their absolute best to keep things moving. I've never waited in a long line here. Forest Hills itself is a really neat neighborhood, and bars open for shows and sell drinks on the streets where they close down the square. Shows have a hard stop at 10pm, so don't expect encores to go beyond. . . It's in a residential area. I've seen 3 shows there now ... once in GA standing floor, once in 301 3rd row, and once in 401. (Zach Bryan twice, and Sturgill Simpson once). Highly recommend!

Recently saw Tiësto here and it was an amazing venue. Let me start with the cons: Leaving the venue, a crowd of 13,000 was being filtered out with metal barriers. The police officers were standing in front of these barriers and in between them in the way of everyone coming out. As we were walking through, they continued to enclose these metal barriers on us. I'm talking about people smashing into each other because the space to leave is now only 1 person wide! Everyone was screaming and I asked the officer can we please get out of here?! They kept directing to keep walking as people could have been trampled on. One person who made it out was recording the incident and asked an officer why people cannot leave the venue properly. He told the guy to "mind his own business" never in my life have I seen crowds being blocked off to leave a place. This was absolutely insane!! What the hell were you doing?! Pros: Staff was super friendly. Bathrooms were great. Lots of food and drinks options available. Free water filling stations. Bring an empty plastic bottle into the venue. Other: Parking was easy, drove in from NJ. You can find non permit parking if you look. There are also garages around but expect to pay at least $50. Get there early and find a free spot to park. Neighborhood is beautiful. Read the site about bag regulations.

Love this spot for concerts! Just saw Sturgill Simpson there this past weekend, and it was great. Not a bad seat in the house, staff were great, and a lot of options for vending — canned wine usually scares me a little but they had a great brand! Cocktails looked good too. Bathrooms could’ve been better.

Absolutely wonderful live music venue. Have come to see Maggie Rogers, The National and Bloc Party / Blond Redhead / Joan. Excellent layout, good concessions, love to support WFUV at their booth, well laid out seating and standing room. Done both, both great. Lovely neighborhood and easily accessible via public transit.

Great venue! Acoustics/sound were great. Great options for food and merch. In a nice area of town. Can find parking on street and walk in. We saw Idles and Walkmen here.
