The annual American music festival Boston Calling has dropped its massive lineup for 2025.
The festival is headlined by Luke Combs and Megan Moroney on Friday night, Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne on Saturday night and Dave Matthews Band and Vampire Weekend on Sunday evening.
Held at Harvard Athletic Complex in Boston over the Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25), the festival also includes performances from Sheryl Crowe, T-Pain, TLC, Thee Sacred Souls, Cage the Elephant, The Black Crowes, James Bay, Sublime, Public Enemy, Remi Wold, Spin Doctors and more.
Organisers have also revealed several tweaks to the festival layout, with a new stage setup combining the Red and Green stages into one rotating stage. There will also be a large indoor area for folks to escape the heat and more water stations dotted around the festival grounds.
Tickets for Boston Calling go on sale Wednesday, January 8 at 10am EST via bostoncalling.com.
One of the more recent additions to the American festival calendar, Boston Calling has only been running since 2013.
First held at City Hall Plaza twice a year, the festival moved to Harved Athletic Complex in 2017 and became a once-a-year, three-day festival of music.
Attracting more than 40,000 punters per day, Boston Calling has established itself as one of the big American music festivals alongside Coachella and Lollapalooza.
Last year’s lineup included performances from Ed Sheeran, Tyler Childers, The Killers, Leon Bridges, Hozier and more.
Boston Calling 2025 takes place at Harvard Athletic Complex from Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25, 2025. For full ticketing and lineup information visit bostoncalling.com.
