She is in Boston, at least. There's a reason why Boston Calling is breaking from their normal practice of headliners running mostly unopposed and scheduling two-thirds of Paramore's set to overlap with King Gizzard. That's because Paramore is barely popular enough for the spot. Sure, they're getting a boost in ticket sales from having been off the road for a while, but they're not going to be selling out arenas in perpetuity.
Gizz overlapping with Paramore has nothing to do with Paramore and everything to do with QOTSA, the only other time they’ve done something like this is when Sigur Rós and Bon Iver were the blue and red closers and they pushed Sigur Rós back to overlap Chance
Joy Oladokun's new album came out today and has songs that feature both Mt. Joy and Noah Kahan, who are both playing on Saturday as well. Joy is on green right before Mt. Joy plays red, which then leads to Noah Kahan on green. I'd imagine they would both join Joy during her set.
With both her and The National new albums dropping today I'm really interested in seeing how their setlists are going to pan out and what gets played off the new stuff.

yeah this isn't a thing, the headliners were "mostly" unopposed last year but were fully opposed in 2019. you literally don't know what you're talking about.
Just checked the schedule and in 2019 there was 25 min of overlap between Green and Blue closers on Friday, and none on Sat and Sun.
There was overlap with the Arena EDM programming during the headlining sets thought, something I hadn't considered because the Arena isn't a thing at Boston Calling any longer. So, maybe I should have been more precise in my statement and noted that their headliners run mostly unopposed by another performer on the Blue stage. There hasn't been significant overlap between Green and Blue closers since Chance The Rapper and Sigur Ros in 2017.

I’m just gonna blindly assume that the National will bring out T Swift during their set. She should be able to make it to Met Life for her show.
okay i’m officially in for friday!! saw one for $130 after fees on stubhub. lowest ive seen yet, definitely down for a meetup if anyone else is. especially on friday since its empty til The National and Yeah Yeah Yeahs for me

Hopefully, that's the case, but The Killers played both TD Garden and Boston Calling four months apart.
Tour ends in January and, as the announcement video states, they are done for good. "If you think we're joking, Dream On" (Oh you catchy devil Steven)
Hopefully, you're right, but farewell tours have a way of being extended and they may decide to cash in on a festival run next year as the second leg of the farewell tour.

they're already hitting every market and aerosmith isn't popular enough where festivals care about booking them, unless its like Rocklahoma or Bottle Rock or whatever

That's all true, but you'd think that if they wanted to do a couple of festivals, they'd want to play Boston Calling, being the home base and all. (Tyler moved to Nashville, but I've actually seen three of the other band members around town over the years.)
Was it very brisk early one-day sales for Saturday that caused Boston Calling to waive any radius clause for that day's performers? It's wild that we've already seen headlining shows by Mt. Joy, Joy Oladokun, and Noah Kahan announced (especially Oladokun, who's playing a Bowery/AEG venue).
I checked the calendars of a few LiveNation venues and it appears that they may be holding spots open for aftershows, most notably a full week off at the Paradise around the Boston Calling dates.
But is it realistic to expect people to get to those venues from the grounds in a timely manner? LiveNation's Allston/Kenmore venues may not be very far as the crow flies, but you can only fit so many crows on an already-detoured 66 bus. By the time people walked back to Harvard Square and rode Red and Green lines to the aftershows, it's likely that they'd be missing a lot. Same thing for those who park at Alewife; by the time you got back to your car and pulled out of the garage, you'd already be batting the clock.
LiveNation has done shows at the Crystal Ballroom, and the Harvard to Davis Red Line trip is short, but they're already booked all three nights.
I'm curious as to how they handle it now that it's a LiveNation-owned festival and their suitable venues aren't particular close to the grounds.

The city of Boston has an 11pm curfew for concerts (the talent is fined $10,000 per minute they play after that time) so I don't think they'll have aftershows

Not sure how long the shows went last year, but they had aftershows at the Sinclair, with doors opening at 10. Ripe played on Friday and Earthgang on Saturday. Granted, that's Cambridge, so not sure how different their indoor noise ordinance is from Boston.

The Sinclair is AXS owned and booked, and if BC is now LN then it seems unlikely (but still possible) that aftershows will be hosted there

Cambridge and Somerville venues can go til 1 or 2 am I believe (not a hard curfew either, just when they have to stop serving alcohol). And all LN venues are in Boston proper. Boston does classify nightclub events differently from concerts and those can go til 2am, which is why Royale has separate pages for concerts and club events on its website

Great Scott (RIP) used to have aftershows that went later than 11, and i feel like every normal show i went to there always went past 11... but i think it was classified as a bar that happened to have live music (or "nightclub" or something) so the rules were different from traditional venues. I imagine one of the rules is that anything allowed to go past 11 has to be 21+.
There are already random shows booked at Sinclair on Friday and Sunday, so if aftershows are a thing, they'd likely have to be at Crystal Ballroom, or maybe Paradise but 21+ if that's allowed. Ultimately, my money would be on no aftershows this year.

Even New Year's Eve shows? I know that MMJ ran way past midnight when I saw them at Agganis on NYE one year. All NYE shows basically start late and end late, so the "stroke of midnight" celebration happens during the show.

I'm pretty sure that the Royale runs its own non-Bowery events, like DJs, after the Bowery Boston show has wrapped up for the night, which is why Bowery Boston shows there start and end fairly early. AEG doesn't own or lease the building outright, like they do with The Sinclair and Roadrunner. They've got a business arrangement with whomever owns or leases the space (the hotel?).
wait, how is it that boston has a 11pm curfew for concerts when great scott(rip) and obriens shows regularly go past that? is allston subject to dif rules?

i think it's something about how everything at both those places is 21+ so it's more of a bar that happens to have a stage with live music, as opposed to a music venue. idk exactly how the categorization works

such a same Boston has lame ass laws regarding live music. we have so much potential but the dinosaurs have to make sure everything shuts down early.
