Overview

• The series opens May 31 with Bloc Party and spans 22 events through October 25, featuring acts from Big Thief to Alabama Shakes
• Legal challenges arose when Forest Hills Gardens Corporation withheld permission for NYPD street closures, leading to an initial denial of sound amplification permits
• The April compromise restores those permits and assigns private security teams to monitor the venue’s privately owned surrounding streets during events
• Forest Hills Stadium will deploy a new L-Acoustics sound system designed by Dave “Rat” Levine to enhance audio quality and curb offsite noise
• Tickets for headline shows by Phish and Mumford & Sons have already sold out, underscoring strong demand for the series
