BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Calling, an annual three-day music festival in the city, will not take place in 2026, organizers announced.
The festival released a statement Friday saying Boston Calling will “take a short break,” but will return in 2027 from June 4 to 6.
Organizers did not cite a reason for the hiatus.
This year’s music festival took place during Memorial Day Weekend and featured artists including Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Dave Matthews Band, Public Enemy, and Vampire Weekend.
The decision to take a year off left some fans disappointed.
“I went last year with my sister and I just think it’s a really big loss for the community you know live music is something to do,” said one Boston Calling attendee.
“Best of luck because sometimes that does hurt, especially in the music industry, definitely hurts the music industry not having that revenue.”
The festival has taken place at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston since 2017, when it moved from Boston City Hall Plaza.
“Thank you for making this year’s Boston Calling such a wonderful experience. Your energy, passion and support mean the world to us,” the statement read.
Boston Calling debuted in 2013.
