The lively atmosphere at Boston Calling 2025 as fans gather for a weekend of unforgettable music.
Boston Calling 2025 is set to return to the Harvard Athletic Complex from May 23 to 25, featuring a lineup that highlights local talent alongside major headliners like Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, and the Dave Matthews Band. This year’s festival promises improvements in safety, accessibility, and an indoor arena showcasing upcoming artists. With an emphasis on community, Boston Calling aims to provide an unforgettable experience for music lovers and festival-goers alike.
Get ready, Boston! The much-anticipated Boston Calling music festival is set to light up the Harvard Athletic Complex from May 23 to 25, 2025. This year, the festival is making waves with a fresh lineup and a focus on local talent, promising a weekend of unforgettable music and a fantastic festival experience.
Headlining this year’s festival is none other than country sensation Luke Combs, a four-time Grammy-nominated artist known for his soul-stirring cover of “Fast Car.” Joining him on stage will be fan favorites Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, and Megan Moroney on Friday. Get ready to be blown away as the energy rises!
The excitement continues on Saturday with the legendary Fall Out Boy, who will share the stage with rock icons Avril Lavigne, Cage the Elephant, and All Time Low. This day is set to bring a dose of nostalgia and high-energy performances, all while jazz artists from Berklee College of Music bring their smooth sounds to the mix.
Finally, on Sunday, the unforgettable Dave Matthews Band, 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, will headline, wrapping up the festival with a bang! Other performances include Sublime featuring Jakob Nowell, as well as thrilling sets from bands like Vampire Weekend and Remi Wolf.
This year, Boston Calling is doubling down on its support for local artists. Students from the esteemed Berklee College of Music will shine at the festival, showcasing their talents in a newly established indoor arena. This space will provide attendees a much-needed retreat from the festival’s hustle and bustle, offering a quieter atmosphere to enjoy amazing performances from budding artists. Local acts scheduled to perform include Battlemode, Bebe Stockwell, and Latrell James, adding dynamic flavors to the lineup.
Following concerns raised during last year’s festival, festival organizers are implementing several important changes to enhance safety and attendee comfort. Many festival-goers reported issues such as overcrowding, long wait times for amenities, and challenges accessing medical assistance. In response to these concerns, Boston EMS documented nearly 800 medical incidents in 2024, with 23 requiring hospitalization, which only underscores the need for these improvements.
This year’s festival will feature a merger of the Green and Red stages to create more space and offer improved views for all attendees. Even more water stations will be set up throughout the venue, ensuring everyone stays hydrated and refreshed.
Additionally, the festival will bring back an indoor air-conditioned arena known as the “Comedy Club arena,” providing a cool respite from the outdoor festivities. Remember to bring cash or cards! Ticket prices have been lowered for this year, making it more accessible, especially since past three-day passes approached nearly $400.
Boston Calling is committed to ensuring a great experience for everyone, so enhanced accessibility features will include ADA compliance and ASL interpreters available upon request. Attendees can look forward to a variety of local eateries providing festival fare, as well as partnerships with beloved beverage brands like Samuel Adams and Dunkin’.
Tickets for one or three days are now available for purchase on the Boston Calling website. With all these exciting updates, the festival organizers are determined to create a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.
Mark your calendars and get ready for Boston Calling 2025! It promises to be a celebration of music, community, and the vibrant spirit of Boston.
