Boston Calling is returning this May, featuring headlining performances from top acts across all genres.
The festival is set to run from May 23 to 25 at the Harvard Athletic Complex.
Country star Luke Combs will take-over Friday’s show alongside Megan Moroney, Sheryl Crow, R&B icons of TLC, and rapper T-Pain. Saturday’s show will feature pop-punk headliners Fall Out Boy, joined by Pop Punk Princess Avril Lavigne and the pop-punkers of All Time Low, as well as the rockers of Cage the Elephant and The Black Crowes. Dave Matthews Band will round-out Sunday with jam band classics, amid performances from the reunited Sublime, alt-rock’s Vampire Weekend, and Tom Morello.
The Maine, Spin Doctors, kyle Dion, Thee Sacred Souls, Lucius, Timmy Skelly, Public Enemy, Mike., Remi Wolf, and Goth Babe will also take the stage throughout the weekend, with Copilot, Sidebody, Holy Roller, and Megan From Works among the acts rounding-out the bill.
Presale tickets will kick-off on Wednesday, January 8 at 10 a.m. ET with access to the lowest-priced tickets for two hours. Fans can sign up for the passcode at the festival’s official website. Then, a general on sale will follow on Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET if tickets remain. Festivalgoers can also score tickets via secondary ticketing site Ticket Club and receive a free membership with the code TICKETNEWS.
As previously announced, there will be certain changes to this year’s festival.
“We’ve been working hard to elevate your experience and enhance the value of your ticket,” organizers wrote in a social media post last week.
One of the changes includes the two main stages becoming one rotating stage, offering better views and more space to roam around the grounds. Additionally, more water stations will be added throughout the festival grounds, and an indoor, air-conditioned area will return.
Additionally, organizers revealed that ticket prices will decrease this year; last year, a one-day general admission ticket went for $189, followed by a three-day pass at $383.
The news follows multiple reports of safety concerns during last year’s event, including overcrowding and medical emergencies. Many concertgoers complained that they were crushed, pushed, or had panic attacks in the crowd, resulting in nearly 800 medical encounters throughout the weekend.
