Ed Sheeran. The Killers. Hozier.

Those are just a few of the acts headlining this year’s Boston Calling Music Festival. But, for residents of Peabody with some hometown pride, another name might be the most attention-grabbing: Justin Clancy.

The “kid from Peabody” was announced as part of the music festival’s lineup on Tuesday and is set to perform on the first day of the three-day festival, May 24. Boston Calling is hosted at the Harvard Athletic Complex on Memorial Day Weekend.

Clancy, who could not immediately be reached Tuesday, posted on Facebook that he had been “praying for years to get on this.”

“You have NO IDEA how hard it was to keep this a secret,” he wrote.

Clancy also lived in Lynn for a time before he packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles, California, where he currently lives.

Clancy’s music has racked up millions of listeners on Spotify, and the music streaming service reports he has nearly 23,000 monthly listeners. Much of his music chronicles his journey out of addiction, and Clancy told The Daily Item in 2018 that he didn’t want to be a “martyr for recovery.”
“I’m not perfect, no one’s perfect,” he told the paper. “I’m just an artist.”
