Chance The Rapper: Artist Adds Second Forest Hills Stadium Show

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — After Chance The Rapper’s first Forest Hills Stadium concert sold out, the Grammy Award-winning artist announced a second night for Sept. 27 on his Twitter account. Following suit with the first show, the second will feature pop musical project Francis and the Lights and rapper DJ Oreo as opening acts.

A live timer is counting down to the moment tickets go on sale July 13 at 10 a.m. Tickets are $75, and prospective attendees can sign up for a reminder for when purchase is made available.

Doors will open at 6 p.m., and the show will begin at 7 p.m.

The show comes as part of the Chicago rapper’s Be Encouraged Tour, which aims to “uplift” and “empower” other artists.

Queens is one of only two destinations for Chance’s headlining shows in 2017. His other performances will be held in Los Angeles.
