Boston Calling returns Memorial Day Weekend 2025 (May 23-25) to the Harvard Athletic Complex with headliners Luke Combs on Friday, Fall Out Boy on Saturday, and Dave Matthews Band on Sunday.
Elsewhere on the lineup is Vampire Weekend, Sublime, Public Enemy, Avril Lavigne, Megan Moroney, Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, TLC, Cage the Elephant, The Black Crowes, All Time Low, The Maine, Remi Wolf, Tom Morello, The Spin Doctors, Lucius, and more. The Fall Out Boy-headlined day is the most pop punk-heavy, the Dave Matthews-headlined day has no lack of ’90s nostalgia (will Tom Morello jam with his Prophets of Rage bandmate Chuck D?), and the first day balances out its big country names with the R&B nostalgia of T-Pain and TLC, billed right next to each other. You can see the full day-by-day lineup below.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday (1/8) at 10 AM ET.
There are also some changes to the festival’s layout this year, as outlined in a new press release:
Boston Calling is also introducing layout improvements aimed at enhancing the festival experience. The Red and Green stages will merge into one epic rotating stage, with state-of-the-art sound and video for a seamless, immersive experience. Redesigned stage areas will improve crowd flow and ease congestion, making it easier for attendees to move between performances. Additional water stations will be strategically placed throughout the grounds to ensure hydration is easily accessible for everyone. For those moments when a break from the excitement is needed, the on-site indoor arena will be open to provide a spacious, temperature controlled space to regroup and to recharge.
Boston Calling will once again host its highly popular GA+ experience this year. General Admission passholders can step up their experience and add the GA+ upgrade to their ticket to gain unlimited access to the festival’s GA+/VIP Reserve Lounge, an oasis within the festival including access to a cash bar featuring craft cocktails, plus an expanded beer & wine menu, and complimentary water and soft drinks. There will be plenty of shade and seating to relax and escape the elements, as well as upgraded restrooms.
In addition to the full bars and unique comforts of the lounges, VIP and Platinum ticket holders will be treated to exclusive viewing areas within the VIP and Platinum sections. On top of access to all VIP amenities, Platinum pass holders also have a panoramic viewing deck within the Platinum section where menus by some of Boston’s best chefs will be served throughout each day. Returning this year for Platinum guests is a dedicated front row viewing area in front of the Green stage within the VIP section. Finally, Platinum pass holders have an exclusive hosted bar featuring premium beer, fine wine and craft cocktails, a daily gifting suite with complimentary products, and a daily parking pass exclusively for 3-day Platinum passholders. Additional information on the festival’s VIP and Platinum experiences can be found on Boston Calling’s website.
