Forest Hills Stadium Concert Update

Apparently, the new City Winery Music Festival, the two day food and wine and music event that was to be held at the Stadium in September, is now being planned for next year. Aretha Franklin and Sheryl Crow were to perform.

By the way, I took my summer vacation recently and then had to catch up on other stuff since I've been back so haven't had a chance to do my usual concert photo posts. I think I missed in there Louis C.K., for instance. If anyone took any photos of him at the event please email them to me at edgeofthecity@gmail.com

  2. Any insight on why so many concerts were allowed at the Stadium this year? The number of shows seems to double every year. While I'm all for having shows at the stadium again, it's getting quite excessive and unconventional.

  3. I did not see anything regarding Bette Midler on the promoter's website. Quite frankly, I could not imagine her participating in a group lineup like that. She could do a solo, at double the ticket price and sell out in a day. She has also become very protective of her voice, an outdoor venue in October does not fit the bill. Unless she has some gambling debts, this seems unlikely.
