Photos from the kickoff day of Boston Calling, featuring headlining performances by Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard as well as local acts Sorry Mom and Ali McGuirk among others.
After two pandemic years off, Boston Calling returned to the Harvard Athletic Complex in 2022. Building off of last year’s success, the festival continues to grow even bigger in 2023. On a mild sunny afternoon, tens of thousands of people descended upon Boston on Friday, for the first day of the event.
From the surgical festival rock of Queens of the Stone Age and the country chill of Maren Morris to the tenacity of top-billed Paramore, the final-day lineup had, as usual, something for everybody.
It’s Boston Calling weekend and concertgoers are descending on the Harvard Athletic Complex for the three-day festival, featuring the Foo Fighters, Lumineers, Paramore, and Noah Kahan, among many other big names.
