Boston Calling Music Festival has announced an official hiatus for 2026, planning a comeback on a new weekend—June 4-6, 2027. Organizers expressed deep gratitude to their passionate fanbase for making the festival a cherished summer tradition in Boston.
This break follows a series of adjustments introduced after attendee feedback from 2024, including lowered ticket prices, merging stages for a smoother experience, more water stations, and the addition of an indoor, air-conditioned arena.
The festival world is watching closely—while some fans are hopeful about Boston Calling’s return and improvements, others express concern about the durability of festivals in a recovering market, drawing parallels to the struggles faced by the Firefly festival.
Boston Calling’s 2027 event aims to reconnect with its core audience and reestablish its place as a marquee cultural event in Massachusetts. Stay tuned for lineup and ticketing details as they emerge.
