The 2025 Boston Calling Festival will feature headlining sets from Luke Combs and Megan Moroney, Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, Dave Matthews Band and Vampire Weekend. The three-day Memorial Day (May 23-25) throwdown at the Harvard Athletic Complex will also usher in some new changes this year aimed at easing crowding and providing more shade and free water for fans.
Joining Combs and Moroney on the first night will be: Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, TLC, Thee Sacred Souls, Wilderado and Mike. Night two will find FOB and Lavigne sharing the stage with Cage the Elephant, The Black Crowes, All Time Low, James Bay, The Maine, Lucius and Valley, among others. The final night will pair DMB and Vampire Weekend with Sublime, Public Enemy, Remi Wolf, Goth Babe, Rager Against the Machine and solo guitarist Tom Morello, The 502s, Spin Doctors and IDK How But They Found Me, and more.
According to CBS News, after some complaints from some fans last year about overcrowding, BC has made some structural changes to the event’s footprint this year, including merging the main Green and Red stages. “We’ve invested in a world-class rotating stage system to provide better views, more space to roam, and enhance audio/video experience for everyone,” read a Facebook post announcing the staging news. Other changes include a decrease in some ticket prices, the return of the Indoor Arena, where fans are invited to take a break in an air-conditioned indoor space (with programming to be announced soon), as well as the addition of more free water stations.
A presale will kick off on Wednesday (Jan. 8) at 10 a.m. ET, with lowest-price tickets available for two hours (10 a.m.-12 p.m.); you can sign up for it here.
