Summer is only a few months away, if you really think about it — which makes spring the perfect time to start planning for those incredible, outdoor summer concerts! Whether it’s rock, country or pop, there’s a concert for every taste in music under the sun (pun intended). If you’re not sure where to see one of your favorite artists or bands this summer, here are some great outdoor venues to check out in the state:
Forest Hills Stadium
Address: 1 Tennis Pl, Forest Hills, NY 11375
Having originally opened their doors in 1923, Forest Hills Stadium is a unique outdoor venue with an incredible history. From The Beatles to Barbra Streisand, a series of powerhouses in the music industry lent their talents to this performing arts venue over the years. Being located in the heart of the Queens and only a simple train ride away from your home, it’s the perfect, small, independent venue to see a great show!
In addition to great shows, Forest Hills Stadium also has an incredible selection of food and beverages, thanks to local vendors who reside in the outdoor food court. Whether it be massive mozzarella sticks from Big Mozz or edible cookie dough from Cookie DŌ, there’s a food stand for every preference (and culinary craving)!
Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk
Address: 3052 West 21 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224
When you think of Brooklyn, what comes to mind first? For most, it might be the delicious array of food, but what about good ol’ Coney Island? In addition to the rides and amenities that are found among the boardwalk, there’s an outdoor theater that’s taking the shore by storm: the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk. Since July of 2016, this new venue holds the title for being a true, summer theater.
If you’re walking down the boardwalk at Coney Island, you’ll instantly be enamored by this incredible 5,000 seat venue, which has artists such as Coheed and Cambria,The Australian Pink Floyd Show and more playing on their stage this year. If you’re looking for another outdoor, beach-friendly venue, then this is the place to be!
