Forest Hills Stadium is a 1923 concrete tennis horseshoe tucked into a Queens garden neighborhood, and an October show there is one of the last chances of the year to see a band under open sky. Foster the People bring the indie-pop hits that ran through the 2010s, with Goth Babe's surf-folk as the warm-up. If you want a fall concert that feels like an event, not just a night out, this is it.
What to expect
Expect an outdoor show that starts around dusk, with a floor and tiered stadium seating in the old grandstand. The walk in from the train runs through leafy residential streets, and the set mixes big singalong singles with the band's newer songs.

- It is an open-air venue, so bring a layer for a cool fall evening
- Shows here run to a strict neighborhood curfew
- Stadium seating is concrete, so a cushion helps
