Boston Calling 2020 has been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic. The festival’s organizers announced the news today. “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,” the statement reads.
