QUEENS — Flight of the Conchords, the Grammy Award-wining comedy folk duo, is adding a stop at Forest Hills Stadium to their summer tour.

Stadium management announced Monday that the “Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour” is scheduled for Wednesday, July 20, as part of the Forest Hills Stadium season.

The duo, Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, say they’ll have new material to showcase during the tour — their first since co-headlining the “Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Tour” in 2014.

“I’m thrilled to be back on the road with over half the original band,” quipped McKenzie.

The duo is partnering for the tour with the Global Citizen, a charitable organization working to end extreme poverty around the world. They will also play Central Park's Summerstage on July 24.

Flight of the Conchords will perform at the Forest Hills Stadium on July 20. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 1 at 10 a.m. at ForestHillsStadium.com.
