Experience Donald Lawrence live on June 19th

Donald Lawrence is scheduled to perform at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, New York, on June 19, 2026. Lawrence is a highly influential figure in contemporary gospel music, known for his sophisticated arrangements and incorporation of R&B and jazz elements into traditional gospel sounds. He frequently collaborates with prominent vocalists and choirs, creating a distinctive layered harmonic style often described as “urban contemporary gospel.” His work has earned him numerous Stellar Awards and a Grammy Award.

Forest Hills Stadium holds a significant place in music history. Originally built in 1923 as the West Side Tennis Club’s stadium court, it hosted the U.S. Open from 1923 to 1977. In the 1960s, it began transitioning into a concert venue, famously hosting The Beatles in 1965 – one of their first outdoor stadium performances in the United States. Following a period of disuse and potential redevelopment threats, the stadium was renovated and reopened as a full-time concert venue in 2013. It’s now recognized for its unique open-air setting and historical importance within both sporting and musical landscapes of New York City.
