Ethel Cain now co-headlines Saturday, September 26 in what will be her last show of the year, and three-day passes to the festival’s third New York edition are already gone.
Before it was a festival site, Forest Hills Stadium was where America watched tennis. The Romanesque horseshoe in Queens hosted the U.S. Open for decades, and when it wasn’t doing that it was hosting The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, plus enough film shoots that you have almost certainly seen the grounds without knowing it, from Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” to Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums.” Thirteen thousand seats, open sky, and acoustics that were an accident of 1920s architecture. It is a strange and perfect place to put the loudest, warmest crowd in American festival culture.
All Things Go returns there September 25, 26 and 27 for its third New York edition, and this week the festival added Ethel Cain to co-headline Saturday alongside Brandi Carlile. It will be Cain’s final show of 2026 on the Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour, which turns a festival slot into a closing ceremony. Sienna Spiro has withdrawn from the bill. Three-day tickets are gone entirely; single days start at $99 all-in and two-day combos at $150, and those are the last of them.
The rest of the weekend is stacked in a way that reads like a thesis. Zara Larsson tops Friday in what will be her first-ever headline festival performance, with Lola Young, Rebecca Black, Cara Delevingne, Blu DeTiger and Chloe Qisha under her. Saturday runs Carlile and Cain over CMAT, Jensen McRae, comedian-musician Meg Stalter and Natalie Jinju. Sunday hands the close to MUNA and a Carly Rae Jepsen sunset set billed as a full set, with The Beaches, Hemlocke Springs, Grace Ives and Cherry Bomb ahead of them. Eighteen artists across three days, and the bill is entirely female and non-binary.
None of that is a marketing accident. All Things Go started in Washington, D.C. in 2011 and has spent the years since booking Billie Eilish, boygenius, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Mitski, Charli XCX and Doechii before or right as they broke, building a fan community that calls itself The Besties and picking up Pollstar Festival of the Year nominations in 2023 and 2025. The nicknames the crowd has given it tell the story faster than the accolades do: Gay-chella, All Things Gay, Lesbopalooza.
Lorde, playing the festival’s Toronto edition earlier this year, put it about as plainly as it can be put.
This is my second All Things Go! I’m trying to catch them all. It’s a Pokémon situation for me. This is, without a doubt, the coolest festival in North America. It’s the girls, the gays and the theys.

MUNA, returning as headliners, went with “extremely stoked to be headlining one of our favorite festivals to play in a city that means so much to this band,” and Lola Young kept it shorter still: “All Things Go, we have unfinished business.” That is the tone of the whole enterprise. It is a festival that behaves like a group chat that got a permit.
A sold-out three-day run at a 1920s tennis stadium in Queens, headlined end to end by women and non-binary artists, with the year’s most talked-about voice in Southern gothic closing out her touring cycle on a Saturday night in September. Get your day ticket while there is one.
