Chappell Roan announces US pop-up shows. Here's how to get tickets.
Chappell Roan is following her breakout year of pop-culture dominance with a handful of U.S. shows this fall. Roan will perform Sept. 20-24 at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, New York; Oct. 3-4 in her Midwest roots at Museum and Memorial Park in Kansas City, Missouri; and Oct. 10-11 at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Roan, who scored her first Grammy Award this year for best new artist, previously announced a run of August shows in Europe for this "Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things" run of pop-up shows. In announcing the concerts, Roan said the three cities were chosen because she loves them and 'wanted the chance to do something special for them this year.' Fans can access Fair AXS Registration now through 11:59 p.m. ET July 27 at for a chance to purchase tickets. Invited Fair AXS registered users will be selected randomly and notified between Aug. 5 and Aug. 7. Roan, 27, is also donating $1 from every ticket sold to organizations that provide resources and support for transgender youth. 'It is so important that I give back to the Trans community as they have given me so much throughout my entire career,' she said. Following the breakout success of her debut album, 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,' and her smash singles 'Pink Pony Club' and 'Good Luck, Babe!,' Roan released the country-tinged queer anthem, 'The Giver.' Earlier this week she teased her next project with a snippet of the single, "The Subway."

This New York amphitheater was just ranked the best outdoor music venue in the U.S.
You could go to MSG. You could crowd into Forest Hills Stadium. But according to USA Today's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards, the absolute best place in the country to catch an outdoor concert is...a field in the Catskills. The Pavilion at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts just snagged the top spot on the list of the 10 best amphitheaters in the U.S., beating out heavy hitters like Red Rocks, The Gorge and the PNC Bank Arts Center. The kicker? It's built on the exact site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair and, yes, it still channels that flower-power energy. Located about 90 miles northwest of the city in Bethel, New York, the venue has become a pilgrimage-worthy spot for music lovers and not just for its history. It features 5,000 covered seats, lawn space for 11,000 more and a sweeping roofline that feels more like an art installation than a stage canopy. Each seat offers a clear view and solid acoustics, even from the back of the lawn. Since opening in 2006 with a performance by the New York Philharmonic, the Pavilion has hosted a dizzying lineup: Elton John, Dave Matthews Band, Sting, Pitbull, Jimmy Buffet, Lady Gaga, Van Halen—the list goes on. This summer's roster is no slouch either. Pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne plays June 27. Heavy metal legends Def Leppard hits the stage on July 20. Cyndi Lauper follows on July 25, and Blink-182 rolls through on September 6. Other shows include the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Offspring, Bonnie Raitt, Dierks Bentley, Heart and Neil Young. And while the concerts are the draw, the rest of the site is worth exploring. There's a museum dedicated to the '60s, packed with artifacts, immersive exhibits and original Woodstock memorabilia. The surrounding 800 acres of rolling farmland and forest don't hurt, either. So sure, you'll need to rent a car. But once you're camped out on the hillside with a beer in hand and a legendary act onstage, New York City will feel like a distant memory—in the best way possible.
