The 2023 Boston Calling Music Festival will likely be an emotional experience for Foo Fighters. The Dave Grohl-led band was slated to headline last year’s lineup but understandably canceled all commitments following the sudden March 2022 death of drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Foo Fighters are set to headline this year, and now we know exactly when. Boston Calling revealed all set times for the May 26-28 event at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Boston, if the latter detail wasn’t already obvious enough in the festival’s title.

Foo Fighters’ headlining set will start at 8:40 p.m. EST on Friday, May 26, and it will come days before the release of But Here We Are, their first album since losing Hawkins that they announced today, April 19.

Foo Fighters will be preceded on the Green Stage by The National (5:55-6:55 p.m.), Leon (3:45-4:40 p.m.), and The Beaches (2:20-2:55 p.m.).

The Happy Valley Red Stage will be handled by Alisa Amador (1:45-2:15 p.m.), Celisse (3-3:50 p.m.), Chelsea Cutler (4:45-5:45 p.m.), and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (7:05-8:35 p.m.). The Blue Stage will feature Zolita (2:15-2:50 p.m.), GA-20 (3:20-4:05 p.m.), Talk (4:35-5:20 p.m.), Teddy Swims (5:50-6:50 p.m.), and Niall Horan (7:40-8:40 p.m.)

Saturday, May 27, will stage the likes of The Lumineers (9 p.m.), Alanis Morissette (7:15-8:45 p.m.), The Flaming Lips (7:35-8:50 p.m.), and Fletcher (5:50-6:50 p.m.).

Paramore (9 p.m.), Maren Morris (6:15-7:15 p.m.), 070 Shake (4-4:55 p.m.), Queens Of The Stone Age (7:25-8:50 p.m.), Bleachers (5:05-6:05 p.m.), The Lindas Lindas (3-3:50 p.m.), and more will bring it home on Sunday, May 28.

The Boston Calling Festival Has Canceled Its 2021 Event

2020 was a year mostly without music festivals, and so far, it remains to be seen how 2021 will pan out on that front. Glastonbury has already called off its 2021 event and it looks like Coachella may get the axe as well. Boston Calling canceled its 2020 fest and now it is repeating that this year, as organizers announced today that the 2021 event will not be happening.

In a note shared on social media, organizers wrote:

“After exploring all possible options for hosting Boston Calling this year, we have made the difficult decision in conjunction with local and state authorities to cancel the 2021 festival. The health and safety of our entire community is always out top priority, and there was no appropriate scenario under which we could provide the Boston Calling experience you love and deserve.

While we are sad to go another year without the festival, we have set our sights on 2022 — mark your calendars for Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to sharing more information around headliners, lineup and vendors as we get closer to the 2022 festival. […] Stay safe, we look forward to seeing everyone again soon.”

While Boston Calling was one of the last major 2020 festivals to be called off, they have made the decision early this year. Now, music fans wait to see if this latest cancellation will be indicative of a larger trend for festivals in 2021.
