Boston Calling Moving to Harvard Athletic Complex

BOSTON, MA - After four years in City Hall Plaza, Boston Calling is on the move.

The music festival announced that the 2017 edition will take place at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, citing a need for more space.

With the move, the fall festival has been nixed, leaving only the Memorial Day weekend show. Festival promoters are promising to expand programming with some of the biggest names in music, comedy, film, and art. Aaron Dessner will continue as music curator and Natalie Portman is slated to curate a new film festival segment,

“Since 2013, we have enjoyed three successful years and six festivals at City Hall Plaza. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to call City Hall the festival's home. This change of location will allow us to expand and enrich Boston Calling while still keeping it proudly located in Boston. Before we move, however, we plan to host a fantastic festival on the Plaza this weekend, and look to continue to produce a range of other events on the plaza for years to come, beginning with Copenhagen Beer Celebration this September," Co-Founder Brian Appel said in a release.

Boston Calling first began in 2013. The most recent event was the seventh at City Hall Plaza. More details about the move, including the lineup and a “Superfan Presale” will be announced at a later date.
