The highly anticipated Boston Calling Music Festival is set to return to the Harvard Athletic Complex on May 23-25, 2025, promising an unforgettable weekend of music and art. The long running Massachusetts music and arts festival has a lineup of world-class bands, with a mix of rock, indie, hip-hop, and local acts. The festival also boasts over 30 local food vendors featuring American, Asian, BBQ, pizza, seafood, Southern, Indian, Mediterranean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, taco fusion and Chicago fare.
This year’s festival has an impressive lineup, with headliners including country star Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, the rock band Fall Out Boy, TLC, Avril Lavigne, the Black Crowes, Sublime, Public Enemy, Vampire Weekend and the Dave Matthews Band. The festival promises a diverse musical experience, featuring over 50 acts across multiple stages throughout the annual three-day weekend.
Because of reported over-crowded conditions at last year’s festival, Boston Calling organizers have announced changes to this year’s festival which would improve the layout and create a better environment and experience for the attendees. One of the changes is a new stage reconfiguration. The main Green and Red stages are being combined into one world-class rotating stage to provide better views and more space to move about the festival. Additional amenities added in 2025 are more water stations and air-conditioned indoor spaces to esure attendee comfort throughout the weekend..
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at bostoncalling.com. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-timer, the Boston Calling Music Festival is one of New England’s premier music festivals and promises an electric atmosphere and an unbeatable musical experience for an epic weekend at the start of summer.
