Remi Wolf overcomes audio issues to give powerhouse Boston Calling set (Photos)

Remi Wolf's hour-long Sunday afternoon set at Boston Calling at first hit a snag due to technical issues, but that didn't stop the singer-songwriter from delivering a powerhouse performance.

Wolf, 29, emerged on the music festival's Green Stage for her 5:40 p.m. set with her band, starting off with her hit "Cinderella," before it quickly became apparent that her microphone's audio was cutting in and out.

While crews worked to remedy the problem, Wolf improvised on stage saying, "We're gonna keep on pushing baby," to cheers from the audience.

In the meantime, Wolf had the crowd loosen up by moving their bodies, talked about using ChatGPT as a therapist and divulged the behind-the-scenes nicknames of her bandmates.

Once the audio issue was resolved, Wolf was back up and running, turning up the energy for songs such as "Pitiful," "Toro," "Photo ID" and more — even hopping on the drum set herself at one point.

Wolf was preceded on the Green Stage by indie rocker Goth Babe and followed up by ska punk band Sublime.
