Louis Tomlinson – Forest Hills Stadium – July 29, 2023

He burst onto the scene more than a decade ago as a member of One Direction, but Louis Tomlinson has been doing his own thing as a solo artist for seven years now. His second studio album, Faith in the Future, dropped last summer, and for the past two months, he’s been crisscrossing North America, bringing the new music to screaming fans. On Saturday night, the English singer-songwriter was in Queens to cap off his tour in style at Forest Hills Stadium.

Ended up missing Arabella… how ironic is that. But for last minute GA tickets that was genuinely the best night of my life. Plus I started a chant which got Alex to come back on and play three more songs. I’m so fucking happy.

boygenius rolled their Re:Set music festival into a sold out Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday night. They are the best band in the universe at this moment. They are one body moving together - eyes, lungs and heart. An astounding combination of friendship and art. Their microphones voltroning together to form a hurricane gust of love for 100 minutes.

They blessed us with a brand new song - Boyfriends - on Saturday. Another deep sea plunge into the sublime. When one of your favorite bands plays something you've never heard before it sometimes lifts you off the soles of your feet. You have no reference to where it will go or how it will end. Each new note and chord change sending you somewhere you've never been before. Most of the time you go to concerts to hear the songs you've heard one thousand times before - to sing along, to bring you back to the moment you listened to it with someone else. From here on out, I'll remember who I was standing with on that tennis court whenever I listen to Boyfriends.

Saw the Arctic Monkeys live a few days ago on Friday! Just wanted to share my thoughts:

Heartbroken that they performed nothing from TBH+C (which was the album that really clicked with me the very moment I heard Four out of Five on the radio for the first time some years ago).

Overall for my first Monkeys gig, they played great and I still love them but hesitant to ever see them again if they continue playing more than 2 AM songs next tour. They could easily have accommodated these to the set list: The Car, IAQWITIA, Hello You, Mr. Schwartz, and Perfect Sense. All of the above is in my humble opinion and as a concert lover there can never be a perfect set list but one can dream.

to the barbie in the row in front of me, doing the most, (in the BEST possible way - full out nonstop dancing, singing, screaming) , i love you

to the ken in the row in front who clearly went directly to the concert from the city office in his business casual with his finance backpack, i love you

to the ken who during the opener super politely swapped his (closer) floor seats with me and a barbie for our back row floor seats so his friends could all sit together, i love you

to the barbie who back tracked to shoot her shot with trains ken in line for the train station, i love you

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Unleash Three-Hour Show on Forest Hills Stadium on Friday Night

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Forest Hills Stadium – August 16, 2024

Prior to the Paris Olympics, if someone had mentioned Australia and Raygun in the same sentence, you’d have been forgiven for assuming it the reference was to a song or album by the madly prolific (and sci-fi adjacent) Australian rock outfit King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. While that country’s reputation still recovers from the breakdancer who couldn’t dance, those assembled at Forest Hills Stadium on Friday turned their attention to the Australian rock band that can, and does, do it all. Their three-hour set — the first of two weekend appearances at the venue — kicked off with the live debut of the blues-heavy “Field of Vision,” off the recently released Flight b741, the six-piece’s 26th(!) LP.

The group’s music covers a wide array of genres, and their shaggy fans of all ages were as comfortable in tie-dyes as they were in the mosh pits erupting throughout the night, first for a speedy, ear-splitting rendition of “Gamma Knife.” Fitting for the season, those mosh pits were shaped like hurricanes, with bodies increasingly moving faster toward the center, except for the inevitable one or two standing still in the eye of the storm. Friday’s show gave the band as much room as they needed to display all facets of Gizzardom. 

“Mr. Beat,” a sing-along, evolved into a jam that could be played out into infinity. With the sun still shining, the music was firmly on the boogie end of the spectrum with an equally playful rendition of the harmonica-heavy, aptly titled “Boogieman Sam.” But as day turned into night with a red sun setting into Manhattan’s hazy skies, the set turned toward the sextet’s heavier jams of the brown-acid variety. 

First came the stellar four-song string of Gizzy mind-palace classics, “I’m in Your Mind,” “I’m Not in Your Mind,” “Cellophane” and “I'm in Your Mind Fuzz.” “God is real. God is a black hole,” announced someone from the stage as they kicked off the speed-metal “Self-Immolate,” complete with an extended, slow-burning drum solo from the inimitable Michael Cavanagh. The tune itself immolated amongst a barraging backdrop of animated, burning flames. Their songs off 2019’s Infest the Rats’ Nest remain the high-water mark for intensity and rocking the fuck out, and it was a bold and impressive feat to tear through that material at the midpoint of a three-hour set, leaving it with their human drummer still intact. 

“Gila Monster” was another fan favorite, off last year’s sprawlingly titled PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. The fans enthusiastically intoning, “Gila, Gila, Gila” felt powerful enough to summon some kind of monster from somewhere in the city, assisted by vocal effects and chants that could’ve rattled out from the depths of a didgeridoo. 

The band welcomed a fan named Gabby to sing a vocal intro to “Nuclear Fusion” that Ambrose Kenny-Smith dubbed “fucking haunting.” Just as impressive as their never-ending discography, King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard play wildly different sets each night, an audacious feat on its own but especially so when playing three-hour shows.

Somewhere along the way, Friday’s set reached the all gas, no brakes mark and never let up, finishing with “Rattlesnake” and “K.G.L.W.” Welcome to the city that never sleeps to the world’s most prolific band. —Dan Rickershauser | @D4nRicks

Hello It's Me

[daisiesonafield-blog]

Really disorganized. I feel terrible for the fans who didn't get to see Andrew, and for Andrew playing to a mostly empty stadium on his last show this tour :/
