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.

Lizzo is set to perform on Saturday Night Live next Saturday (December 17) in an episode hosted by Elvis actor Austin Butler. The news was announced last night during the SNL broadcast.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were originally set to perform, however, due to keyboardist Nick Zinner’s pneumonia, they have been forced to cancel their appearance.

The band issued a statement on social media saying:

“As many of our fans know Nick has had pneumonia over the past month and it’s been and up and down recovery process. The band’s top priority is supporting Nick through a full recovery, as a result, we had to pull out from our engagements of KROQ’s Acoustic Christmas and Saturday Night Live. YYYs have enjoyed the incredible highs of being supported on KROQ and the huge honor of being chosen to close out SNL‘s 2022. We are deeply thankful and expectedly heartbroken we cannot rise to these occasions.”

This marks Lizzo’s second time performing on SNL this year, and her third time overall.

“It’s an honor to fill in for the yeah yeah yeahs who unfortunately could not perform next week,” said Lizzo in a tweet.
