The 2024 season at Forest Hills Stadium concluded on Saturday, Oct. 26th.
Tiebreaker Productions has been putting shows on for 11 years, and it still blows our minds that we all share this incredible place. A concrete wonder with 101 years of history that continues to deliver on its original mission: provide epic entertainment in a unique setting.
It’s a miracle that this icon survived and thrives after dancing with development and disrepair. While we consider it a deep honor to bring world-class music to our picturesque and perfect neighborhood, we are equally committed to preserving a sacred place of history. New York City is cool for a reason, and we like to think Forest Hills Stadium adds to that mystique.
There are literally countless individuals and organizations who help create the magic of Forest Hills Stadium. We are honored to experience the ready engagement of so many wonderful people and we want to express our deepest gratitude.
Thank you, Forest Hills – a gem of gems and a NYC neighborhood that has it all and is like no other.
Thank you, Queens – we love the other four boroughs, but we love Queens more.
Thank you to the 600 men and women, including our brothers and sisters in Labor, who make the Stadium work and keep our guests safe and satiated.

This is only a sampling, and our gratitude extends to all these folks and beyond. Nothing good and sustaining happens in a vacuum – intent is required. To everyone who considered us, met with us, supported us, tapped a toe to the music, or smiled at the iconography … Thank You all from Tiebreaker Productions LLC!
See you in 2025!
