Here’s some disappointing news that comes out of nowhere: There will be no Boston Calling in 2026.
The festival revealed the word via a social media post on Friday (June 20), adding that it eyes a return in 2027 with a new target date on the calendar of June 4 to 6, a week or so after its longtime slot across Memorial Day weekend.
Boston Calling, which goes down annually at the Harvard Athletic Complex after launching in 2013 at City Hall Plaza, just wrapped up its 2025 edition with headliners Dave Matthews Band, Luke Combs, and Fall Out Boy. Check out our extensive coverage of this year’s action, across 55 articles throughout the weekend.
