HARTFORD, Conn — One of the major music festivals in the country, Boston Calling, announced it will cancel its show scheduled for 2021, but expects to be back in 2022.
Officials said on its website that after exploring all possible options for hosting the event, "we have made the difficult decision in conjunction with local and state authorities to cancel the 2021 festival."
"The health and safety of our entire community is always our top priority, and there was no appropriate scenario under which we could provide the Boston Calling experience you love and deserve," the statement continued.
Officials said they plan to hold the event on Memorial Day weekend in 2022.
"We look forward to sharing more information around headliners, lineup, and vendors as we get closer to the 2022 festival," said officials.
Organizers listed the following options on their site.
