“Menino will like it; Rock the plaza, Rock the plaza…”
Enough with The Clash references. The Bowery Boston, the entertainment production company that books such venues as The Sinclair and Royale, this morning announced a two-day music festival at City Hall Plaza, and it’s going to rock this city’s indie precious heart. Boston Calling Music Festival is a GO for May 25 and 26, 2013.
If you listen to WERS you should attend. Fun. and The National headline, while Andrew Bird will make us swoon, hopefully singing “It Ain’t Easy Being Green”. Fantastic artists like Young the Giant, The Shins, Of Monster and Men, Dirty Projectors and more cool kid darlings round out the bill.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 1 at 10 a.m. There’s no service charge if you buy at the box offices of The Sinclair or Royale.
This is a great step for the city of Boston, joining New York, Chicago, and San Francisco with a weekend festival of its own. Hats off to creators Brian Appel and Mike Snow of Crash Line Productions for bringing live music to the streets of Boston this Spring!
