Rock on, Beantown.

Boston Calling announced its lineup for the 2025 music festival coming to Harvard Athletic Complex on Friday, May 23-Sunday, May 25. Tickets came (and went fast) yesterday — here’s a quick rundown of what we know about the big fest featuring 50+ acts.

Friday's lineup will be a lil’ bit country with headliners Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, and Shania Twain. T-Pain and TLC are also on the bill that day.
Saturday will be a lil’ bit rock-n-roll with performances by Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, Cage the Elephant, and The Black Crowes.
Sunday will be led by the Dave Matthews Band, Vampire Weekend, Sublime, and Public Enemy.
The festival’s orange stage will exclusively spotlight performances by local + regional artists.
As for improvements this year, Boston Calling’s red + green stages will merge into one single, rotating stage meant to “provide better views” and “more space to roam.” The fest will add more water stations, too.

In early March, Boston Calling announced The Arena would return in 2025, a showcase of rising student musicians. The Arena's weekend lineup includes Tiril Jackson, Srisley, and Manuela Sanchez Gourbert, to name a few acts.
