And there goes another one. Boston Calling has canceled its 2020 edition as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the world and the entertainment industry.
This year’s lineup was set to be headlined by Foo Fighters, the reunited Rage Against the Machine, and Red Hot Chili Peppers with the returning John Frusciante. Other acts on the bill included The 1975, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Brittany Howard, Run the Jewels, Liam Gallagher, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, Noname, The Struts, PUP, The Districts, Beabadoobee, and more.
In a statement, festival organizers said they made the “difficult decision” to call off the event following “several weeks of consultation with local and state authorities.” They continued, “We are heartbroken; however, the health and safety of our audience, artists, partners, vendors, first responders, and staff are of the utmost importance to us, and we felt that this was the only acceptable way forward.”
Ticket holders will be contacted in the coming weeks with options and directions
