About the event:
Originally designed in 1923 as the home of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Forest Hills Stadium began booking concerts in the 1960’s and went on to host some of the most culturally significant performances of the era. Still rocking out today, the stadium will host 30 incredible concerts this summer, by the likes of Duran Duran, Willie Nelson, Jason Mraz, The Strokes and many more.
Guests on this guided tour of the one-hundred-year old stadium will uncover it’s many hidden secrets, including the artist dressings rooms (packed with old memorabilia!), speakeasies hidden behind walls, and the safe from the US Open that has been there unopened for 45 years!
