The Next Stop Is... with Jane August

How Mike Luba Revived Forest Hills Stadium

Jane August Season 1 Episode 17

As we defrost from a particularly chilly winter, I dream of summer and seeing a show at Forest Hills Stadium. 

More than a decade ago, Mike Luba had a vision to bring the historic tennis stadium in Queens back to life as a concert venue. It has since become a favorite venue for fans and artists alike.

I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Luba about making it in the music business, reviving the stadium, and how to balance it all. 

Forest Hills Stadium’s 2025 season kicks off on May 31 with Bloc Party. You can find tickets at foresthillstadium.com and follow the stadium on Instagram
