LegendQueensOutdoor

Paul Simon grew up minutes from Forest Hills Stadium, and this A Quiet Celebration tour stop returns him to the stage where Simon & Garfunkel played a legendary 1970 show. With a catalog running from 'The Sound of Silence' through Graceland, every tour at this point feels like it could be the last lap — and an outdoor Queens summer night is the most poetic possible setting. If you've been waiting for a reason to finally see him, this is the one to move on.

What to expect

A seated open-air stadium show heavy on the songbook — Simon & Garfunkel classics through solo landmarks — with the intimate, tennis-club-turned-amphitheater feel Forest Hills is known for. Expect a multigenerational crowd and a neighborhood that turns into one big pre-show block party.

The stadium is in a residential neighborhood — local restaurants fill up pre-show, so book ahead

Clear-bag policy applies at the gates
A second Forest Hills night follows, but opening night is the hometown-crowd one
Resale demand is high — buy from official channels only
