UPDATE 8:10 p.m.: Boston.com’s Matt Juul is reporting Boston Calling will resume around 9 p.m., and Lorde is still expected to take the state Saturday night. Beer sales, however, will not resume as the gates re-open. Sales were slated to end at 9:15 p.m. before the nasty weather forced the concert to shut down.
