The festival featured a star-studded lineup, and Moroney’s scheduled return to Boston signifies her growing popularity among fans.

Boston – Megan Moroney, the rising star in the country music scene known as the “Emo Cowgirl,” captivated audiences during her performance at the Boston Calling Music Festival on a rainy Friday night. Following Sheryl Crow’s set and before the headliner Luke Combs, Moroney showcased her unique musical style and vibrant on-stage presence.

The 27-year-old artist, recognized for her eye-catching shiny white boots, bright red dress, and matching lipstick, has made significant strides in her career since launching into the spotlight. Most recently, she released a duet titled “You Had to Be There” with country legend Kenny Chesney, further solidifying her status within the industry.

Moroney’s musical journey began back in 2018 when she attended a Kenny Chesney concert, watching from section 312 of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Since then, she has moved from fan to performer, initially gaining recognition by opening for Chase Rice while studying at the University of Georgia. Her involvement with Luke Combs dates back to 2019, when she appeared in his music video for the hit song “Beer Never Broke My Heart.”

Her chart-topping singles “Am I OK?” and “Tennessee Orange” have become staples of her discography. “Tennessee Orange” especially marked a significant milestone for Moroney, emerging as a breakout hit in 2022 and capturing the attention of music fans nationwide. Following her lively performance at Boston Calling, Moroney is scheduled to return to the city for two shows at Roadrunner in early August 2025, demonstrating her growing appeal among fans.

The Boston Calling Music Festival, taking place from May 23-25, 2025, at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, Massachusetts, promises a stellar lineup. Alongside headliners Luke Combs and Megan Moroney, fans can look forward to performances from Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, and TLC, among others. Saturday’s lineup features popular acts like Cage The Elephant, The Black Crowes, and headliners Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne. The festival wraps up on Sunday with performances from the Dave Matthews Band and Vampire Weekend, along with Sublime and Public Enemy.

In anticipation of the festival, organizers have announced several improvements aimed at enhancing safety and crowd control, addressing concerns from the previous year. These changes include a new site map, increased water stations, and a reorganization of stages to improve the overall festival experience for attendees.

Tickets for Boston Calling will go on pre-sale starting January 8, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET, with general sales kicking off at noon on the same day. This announcement has fueled anticipation among fans eager to attend the festival and see their favorite artists perform live.

In addition to her festival appearances, Moroney’s upcoming “Am I Okay” tour will kick off on March 20, 2025, in Montreal and conclude in Boston on August 2, 2025. The tour will consist of 27 shows, with presale tickets available starting September 12, 2024, and general sales beginning the following day. This extensive tour is likely to further enhance Moroney’s presence in the country music landscape.

Notably, Moroney has recently completed her stint opening for the Zac Brown Band and Kenny Chesney during the “Sun Goes Down” tour, showcasing her versatility and charm to larger audiences. She also made waves at the Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest, emphasizing her climb in the competitive music industry.

With her breakout singles such as “Hair Salon” and “Tennessee Orange,” and her contributions to the Twisters soundtrack, Megan Moroney is solidifying her role as a prominent figure in country music. As she continues to garner attention with each performance, fans and industry insiders alike are keeping an eye on her promising trajectory.
