The National Curate There's No Leaving New York Shows, Forrest Hills 9/29-30

The National are headlining and curating the There's No Leaving New York two night run of shows to be held in Forest Hills Queens, NY.

The band had this to say on their website regarding the shows announcement:

On September 29th and 30th, The National presents: There’s No Leaving New York; a two-day event at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium. Future Islands, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Cat Power, Cigarettes After Sex, Phoebe Bridgers, U.S. Girls, Bully and Adia Victoria are also on the bill. Tickets go on sale at 10am ET Friday, April 13th. We’ll partner with PLUS1 to donate $1 of every ticket sold to the Brownsville Community Culinary Center.
Members of our new Cherry Tree community will have priority access to purchase tickets on Tuesday, April 10th at 10am ET. Join now.
Our show last October at Forest Hills Stadium was one of our favorite shows in the history of the band. The incredible legacy of the place and the fact that it still feels intimate even given its size, we started talking immediately about finding a way to come back for multiple nights with friends. We couldn’t be happier to announce these shows in September with some of our favorite artists.

While The National are OK, however RtBE are pumped Jason Isbell will be coming back to town and may head out to the tennis courts to catch him and the rest of the 400 Unit. To get in the mood for the shows, here are some videos from the performers. 

Live Review: Bob Dylan Forest Hills Stadium, NY 7/8/16

Hey all, got a new review up @glidemag which you can read Right C'here!!!

It is of Bob Dylan's historic return to Forest Hills Stadium last Friday night (7/8/16) in Queens, NY. It was a hell of a night with friends and musical legends. RtBE had a blast, our love for Dylan is well documented, but Mavis Staples (whose album we recently reviewed) kicked it off proper as well.

 

Read the full review and peep a few videos (until they get taken down) below:

  

Inaugural Meadows Festival Comes to Queens with Kanye and More

Well it looks like the Mets won't be the only players (god willing) rocking Citifield this October. The Meadows will be a new festival thrown in Queens, right off the 7 train in Flushing Meadow Park and the Citifield parking lot.

It is a pop/hip hop focused lineup with Kanye West, The Weekend and Chance The Rapper headlining. Honestly it is very underwhelming to us but a few RtBE Favs are mixed in as well with Charles Bradley and Frightened Rabbit both joining the lineup.

Tickets go onsale to the general public tomorrow, those ticket holders who got washed out of Sunday's Governors Ball can buy tickets starting today. All this and more can be found at The Meadows website. Enjoy some video of the artists playing below:
