Boston Calling Music Festival is a Boston-based music festival. Debuting in May 2013, Boston Calling previously took place twice a year, May and September, at City Hall Plaza. It attracted 20-22,000 fans with each edition. In May 2016, Boston Calling announced it would move to the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston in May 2017 and transition to one festival per year. The new festival space will feature more music stages and a film festival component curated by Natalie Portman.
