The Chainsmokers will hit the Forest Hills Stadium this summer as part of the duo's just-announced North American tour, the organizers said Monday.

The Grammy-nominated group will take over the stadium with Australian producer and DJ Alison Wonderland who will join the duo as a special guest on June 9, and on June 10 when they will perform with electronic pop singer Kiiara.

The chart-topping group, consisting of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, recently released their new single “Paris,” following their previous hit “Closer,” considered one of the biggest songs in 2016.

The ‘Memories: Do Not Open’ tour, which will stop in 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada, will kick off on April 13 in Miami, Florida, and wrap at the Forest Hills Stadium in June, the organizers said.

Tickets for the Forest Hills shows will go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at noon. They will range from $79.50 to $99.50 and will be available for purchase here.

Every ticket bought online for the tour will include a copy of The Chainsmokers’ upcoming debut album, the organizers said.

The shows will start at 6 p.m. with doors opening at 5 p.m.

The Forest Hills Stadium 2017 concert season will also feature back-to-back performances of The xx on May 19 and 20, and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers on July 26 and 27. Sigur Rós will perform on June 17 and My Morning Jacket featuring special guest Gary Clark Jr. on July 15.
