All Things Go NY announced the cancellation of its weekend-long music festival scheduled for September 25 through 27, 2026, at New York City’s historic Forest Hills Stadium. The decision was made after meteorologists predicted heavy rain and strong winds associated with an approaching nor'easter, conditions deemed unsafe for both performers and attendees.
The festival, a staple of the city’s summer concert calendar, was set to occupy the iconic stadium for three consecutive days, offering a lineup of emerging and established artists. Organizers cited the severe weather forecast as the primary reason for pulling the event, emphasizing public safety as the guiding concern.
Forest Hills Stadium, a landmark venue that has hosted numerous cultural events since its construction, was slated to welcome crowds from Friday through Sunday. With the nor'easter expected to deliver significant precipitation and gusty winds, the risk of damage to equipment, infrastructure, and the potential for hazardous conditions on the field and surrounding areas prompted the cancellation.
Ticket holders were informed of the cancellation through the festival’s official channels, and the organization indicated that refunds or exchanges would be processed in accordance with its standard policies. While the abrupt change disappointed fans anticipating the annual celebration of music, officials stressed that the forecast left little margin for safe execution of an outdoor event of this scale.
The cancellation adds to a series of weather-related disruptions affecting outdoor gatherings across the region this season. As the nor'easter moves closer to the city, authorities continue to monitor its progress and issue advisories to the public. The All Things Go festival’s organizers plan to assess future dates and venues once the weather stabilizes, aiming to return the event to its regular schedule in the coming year.
