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.
