Historic Forest Hills Stadium in Queens is once again a major entertainment venue this summer and the best way to get there is to hop aboard the Long Island Rail Road.  Forest Hills Stadium’s 2016 summer concert series boasts an impressive lineup of stars – old and new.

Then it’s Dolly Parton on Saturday, June 25 and Paul Simon on Thursday, June 30 and Friday, July 1.

Filling out the month of July will be concerts by The New York Pops with guest singers Megan Hilty and Matthew Morrison on Thursday, July 7, Bob Dylan on Friday, July 8, the comedy band Flight of the Conchords on Wednesday, July 20, and country and bluegrass singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton on Saturday, July 23.
