Brandi Carlile Coming To Queens As Live Music Returns To NYC

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — The only New York City venue on Brandi Carlile’s upcoming summer tour is Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter announced on Tuesday.

Her summer tour is slated to run from June 2 to September 26, with performances in eight locations around the country — including a couple of music festivals, like BottleRock and Ohana Fest in California, and Roots N Blues Festival in Missouri — and one stop on the evening of July 23 in Queens.

As citywide COVID rates continue to drop, Carlile’s performance is one of several events marking the return of live music to New York City this summer, including citywide festivals like Governors Ball in Queens and Citizen Live in Manhattan.

This Forest Hills Stadium performance will be Carlile’s first in the city since a Madison Square Garden show in 2019, and the first of several events slated for the outdoor venue this year.

“I cannot believe I’m saying this but I’M COMING BACK!” Carlile wrote in an Instagram post announcing her NYC show, adding “Let’s get all up in our feelings, NY. It’s time to scream and dance, laugh and cry and ROCK N ROLL!”

Pre-sale tickets for her show in Queens will be on sale from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Thursday May 20, followed by regular ticket sales which will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Friday May 21.
