How does it feel to be back — in the Forest Hills Stadium?

Pop supergroups Hall & Oates and Tears For Fears are summoning all 1980s fans to play the Forest Hills Stadium this summer, organizers said.

The bands will perform the venue as part of their North American tour, which kicks off in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on May 4, and includes a Queens stop on June 16, before concluding July 28 in Los Angeles.

“I am very excited to be touring with Tears for Fears," Daryl Hall in a statement. "Their music has a timeless quality that complements what we do. I think everyone is going to love this show!"

The Forest Hills concert will also include a special acoustic performance by opening act — soul and R&B singer Allen Stone, the organizers said.

Hall and John Oates, who were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, had multiple No. 1 singles like "I Can't Go for That" and "Maneater.”

Tears for Fears, formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, is known for hits like "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."

Tickets for the June 16 concert will range from $79.50 to $199.50 and will go on sale beginning Friday, March 10 at 12 p.m.

This year's concert season at the Forest Hills Stadium will also feature performances by The xx, The Chainsmokers, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Jack Johnson, Sigur Rós and John Mellencamp.
