Boston Calling 2025 Lineup and Changes Announced

The Boston Calling music festival has announced its 2025 lineup, featuring headliners Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, and Dave Matthews Band, the latter of which is a 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Other notable performers include Megan Moroney, Avril Lavigne, Sheryl Crow, Vampire Weekend, and Public Enemy among over 50 acts scheduled for the three-day event from May 23-25 at the Harvard Athletic Complex. Following criticism of last year's festival regarding safety and crowd management, organizers have implemented changes such as merging stages into a rotating system, adding more water stations, and introducing an air-conditioned indoor arena. These measures aim to alleviate overcrowding issues and ensure a safer experience. Ticket sales begin on January 8, with reduced ticket prices compared to previous years.
