JON BELLION ANNOUNCES 2ND DATE AT FOREST HILLS STADIUM “1 BIG SHOW 2 NIGHTS” ON AUGUST 22 + 23
Due to popular demand, GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter/producer Jon Bellion announces a second date at Forest Hills Stadium in New York. The new show will be on on Friday, August 22, the day before the original on Saturday, August 23. The announcement comes a week after the release of his highly-anticipated album FATHER FIGURE featuring Pharrell Willaims, Luke Combs and Jon Batiste. Get it HERE. The album has been lauded by Billboard, Rolling Stone and more, and Jon spoke in-depth about the inspiration behind the music in interviews with The Zane Lowe Show and the Zach Sang Show.
Artist presale is live now, with the official on sale launching Friday, June 13 @ 10am EST. Fans can register for a presale code at jonbellion.com through Thursday, June 13 at 9:59pm. Tickets will be available for purchase HERE.
The show will be in support of Jon’s brand-new album FATHER FIGURE, which arrived last Wednesday to rave reviews, with GRAMMY.com praising, “FATHER FIGURE captures Bellion in his rawest form. It’s still packed with his genre-defying, fantastical production style, but this time, the beat pad is secondary to his voice.”
The album marks a personal and artistic rebirth for Jon, who became a father to three boys during his time away from the spotlight. Fatherhood became both his muse and motivation, influencing the album’s sweeping orchestral arrangements, poignant piano lines, sharp lyricism, and signature beats. From the outpouring of love, pride, and care to the challenges, questions, and mistakes, the project showcases the many facets of what it means to be a loving father and supportive partner.
To celebrate the album, Jon Bellion hosted an exclusive album listening last week in Brooklyn where he showed up to debut the full album in front of fans ahead of release. He followed that up by doing his first live show in 6 years, with an intimate live performance at SOB’s this past Monday – a rare, up-close show for approximately 400 fans, offering an exclusive first look at his latest body of work. Upon announcement, both appearances sold-out within minutes, solidifying the demand for the new album.
Following the release of 2018’s Glory Sound Prep, Bellion made headlines not only for his artistry but also for his decision to step away from solo music. Frustrated by inequitable recording and performance contracts and eager to focus on building a family, the Long Island native shifted his creative energy behind the scenes. In that time, he crafted chart-topping hits for Burna Boy, Rihanna, Anuel AA, Justin Bieber, Tainy, Khalid, Lil Wayne, Camila Cabello, Jon Batiste, Eminem, Fireboy DML, Skrillex, Dua Lipa, Jung Kook, Miley Cyrus, Quincy Jones, Pharrell, Timbaland, The Kid Laroi, Selena Gomez, Roc Marciano, Halsey, Ayra Starr, and Jimin.
As he steps into this new chapter of life and creativity, one thing is certain: Jon Bellion’s journey is just beginning, and the best is yet to come.
