Chappell Roan Rings Forest Hills with Four Night Stand Tickets Top $300 in Last Minute Rush

Kai Montgomery here, your grumpy rumor realist who still hands you the receipts. Look, I know you want the spicy angle, but we’re anchoring this in the facts and the price tags you can actually expect when chasing last minute chaos at Chappell Roan’s Forest Hills Stadium run. The Midwest princess is heading to Queens for a four-night stint that promises high energy, punchy pop anthems, and a stage show that’s getting fans buzzing even before the doors open.

Roan’s run at Forest Hills Stadium kicks off Saturday, September 20, with a special guest slot from Japanese Breakfast. The show invites fans to witness what’s billed as a dynamic live experience, as Roan—and her camp—prepare for a full-length set that blends signature tracks like Hot To Go and Pink Pony Club with newer singles such as The Giver and The Subway, which have helped propel her into the wider indie pop spotlight this year. The 13,000-seat outdoor venue is a notorious test for last-minute ticket buyers because demand can outpace supply, especially for a performer pegged as a rising force in the alternative-pop space.

As the schedule unfolds, Roan returns to Forest Hills on Sunday, September 21 with hemlocke springs opening. The next two nights repeat the headliner pattern, with Tuesday and Wednesday bookings featuring hemlocke springs and Japanese Breakfast as openers in rotation. The twin pairing for the final night suggests a cross-pollination of fan bases, which is typical for this kind of late-summer tour stop and a surefire way to push prices skyward as the date approaches.

Prices right now sit in the premium tier for last-minute purchases. Our checks show the lowest available price for a single show hovers around $285 on secondary markets like Vivid Seats, though most of the per-night tickets cluster in the $307 to $339 range when all fees are accounted for. That’s not a bargain basement deal; it’s the classic last-minute premium you pay for proximity to a marquee show, especially when a tour stop features special guests and a double-header vibe with multiple notable openers.

Roan’s recent live footprint includes a high-energy set at Ireland’s Electric Picnic on August 29, where she reportedly delivered a 14-song set featuring a mix of fan favorites and freshly dropped singles. Critics captured the electric charge of her performance, noting the singer’s ability to command a crowd and transform a festival moment into a personal, immersive experience. The Irish Examiner praised the performance, highlighting her as a standout act and hinting that she could easily headline top-tier festivals with that same momentum.

Beyond Forest Hills, Roan has a couple of high-profile dates on the horizon in Kansas City and Pasadena, with dates in October that aim to capitalize on the momentum from the New York run. The behind-the-scenes truth here is simple: if you’re chasing a Roan experience with maximum energy and that signature “Giver” vibe, this quartet of Forest Hills shows represents a critical moment for the artist to rack up live performance cred as she heads into a new album cycle. It’s not just about the music; it’s about the spectacle, the crowd, and the way Roan’s stage persona has become part of the package.

So, what does this mean for the casual concertgoer who waited to buy? If you want a seat or a spot near the stage, be prepared to pay the premium. With limited inventory and the high demand that accompanies a four-night residency in a major market, last-minute tickets will stubbornly cling to those higher price points. If you’re flexible, you might still snag a deal for a side-view or a distant section, but you’ll be paying the price for the guaranteed Roan experience and the shared excitement of a fan base that’s clearly riding a wave.

And yes, there’s still words to the wise: prices can swing as the shows draw closer, so keep monitoring the official ticketing partner information and the secondary market for any shifts in availability or pricing. If you’re a Roan devotee, this is the moment to crucially weigh your options—splurge for the front-row fantasy or diversify your plan with a less expensive seat and a streaming option for later. Either way, you’re part of a moment where a Midwest star is turning a Queens venue into a memory.

What comes next? If you’re thinking about a calendar full of Roan after Forest Hills, stay tuned, because the rest of her fall calendar looks packed with additional stops and potential festival appearances as she continues to build momentum toward the next album drop. Expect more collaborations, more live surprises, and more social media moments that will have superfans circling the dates on their calendars. The big tease remains: will this Forest Hills run push Roan toward a bigger stadium run, or will fans bank on a more intimate, full-band experience in smaller rooms?
