While a stadium representative told Eyewitness News that the venue enforces a strict end time of 10 p.m. for events, a recent development in the years-long dispute between the stadium and some neighborhood residents called the summer lineup into question.
Catastrophe arose for the stadium's schedule earlier in 2025, when the Forest Hills Garden Corporation refused to grant the NYPD permission to close their private streets. As a result, the NYPD initially denied the stadium necessary "sound amplification permits."
After an extensive legal battle, Forest Hills Stadium was given permission to hold concerts again - and so the show will go on.
"The venue's new state-of-the-art L-Acoustics sound system, expertly designed by industry legend Dave "Rat" Levine, will enhance fans' experiences while significantly reducing offsite sound into the neighborhood," Forest Hills Stadium said in a statement.
