Boston Calling grabbed some big names across multiple genres for the 2025 edition of the music festival. Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, and Dave Matthews Band are set to headline the three-day festival. Acts including Vampire Weekend, Avril Lavigne, Cage the Elephant, Megan Moroney, Sublime, Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, The Black Crowes, Public Enemy, Remi Wolf, TLC, All Time Low, Goth Babe, mike., James Bay, Tom Morello, Lucius, and Spin Doctors fill out the lineup.
After complaints of overcrowding in recent years, festival organizers are changing things up in 2025. Instead of two main stages, there will be one rotating stage to “improve crowd flow and ease congestion.” There will also be more water stations and an indoor space for attendees to beat the heat. Additionally, some ticket prices have been “reduced to provide added value and accessibility.”
This is Fall Out Boy's third festival announcemnt of the year, following headlining slots at the Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona next month and Tecate Pa'l Norte in Monterrey, Mexico in April. Their last album was 2023's So Much (For) Stardust.
Boston Calling takes place Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25) at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, Massachusetts. See the full lineup below.
