The 12th installment of Boston Calling will be returning to its familiar grounds at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, Massachusetts on Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, 2023. The annual three-day music festival will be headlined by 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Foo Fighters on Friday, indie folk rockers The Lumineers on Saturday and Paramore, pop-punk darlings hailing from Tennessee, on Sunday.
Foo Fighters were scheduled to appear at last year’s festival; however, were forced to cancel following the tragic death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. The Lumineers will be making a stop at the festival at the beginning of their upcoming Brightside World Tour, which commences at Shaky Knees in Atlanta, Georgia on May 7. Paramore, who are set to release their sixth studio album (This Is Why) next month, will be heading straight to New York City following Boston Calling for a pair of headlining shows at Madison Square Garden on May 30 and 31.
The festival’s extraordinary lineup will feature 50+ artists, including art-punk trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The National (Friday); 7-time GRAMMY award winner Alanis Morissette, The Flaming Lips and Mt. Joy (Saturday); and alternative metal rockers Queens Of The Stone Age, Bleachers and Maren Morris (Sunday). These renowned acts will also be joined by local artists with ties to New England, featuring the talents of Neemz, Q-Tip Bandits, GA-20, Juice, Alisa Amador, Mint Green, Blue Light Bandits, Ali McGuirk, Coral Moons, Actor Observer, Workman Song, Brandie Blaze, Couch, Little Fuss, Najee Janey, Summer Cult, Sorry Mom and Chrysalis.
New to the festival this year will be a GA+ experience, where General Admission ticketholders can add an upgrade for unlimited access to additional perks, including a VIP lounge and upgraded restrooms. Additionally, returning this year will be Boston Calling’s double-decker VIP experience with dramatic views of both the Red and Green Stages.
Boston Calling tickets are on sale this Thursday, January 12 at 10:00 am EST. For additional information and to purchase specially-priced presale tickets (including Single-Day and 3-Day General Admission, GA+, VIP and Platinum tickets), visit www.bostoncalling.com.
