This year’s lineup for Boston Calling has finally been announced! Country star Luke Combs, as well as Fall Out Boy and Dave Matthews Band, will headline the spring music festival in 2025. Rising country star Megan Moroney will also headline the fest, along with Avril Lavigne and Vampire Weekend.
Boston Calling 2025 will span three days in May at Harvard Athletic Complex, just outside of Beantown in beautiful Allston, Massachusetts. The Memorial Day weekend event will kick off on May 23 and end on May 25.

Luke Combs is set to close out the first day of the fest, after a number of performances from Megan Moroney, Kyle Dion, Holy Roller, and more. Fall Out Boy is set to headline the second day of the fest. They will perform following appearances from Cage The Elephant, All Time Low, and more. Day 3 will feature Dave Matthews Band closing out the whole dang thing, after a few performances from Public Enemy, Tom Morello, and more.
Boston Calling will also switch up their usual stage situation this year, too. The Green and Red stages will be merged into one this year. Just as well, a rotating stage system will be at the center of the festival.
The change was likely the result of some drama that happened at Boston Calling last year. A number of concertgoers claiming that people were “dropping like flies” and getting pulled out of the festival in stretchers.

“We’ve invested in a world-class rotating stage system to provide better views, more space to roam, and enhance audio/video experience for everyone,” the showrunners behind Boston Calling said.
Who Else is Playing Boston Calling 2025?
Outside of the headliners, there are quite a few big names that will appear at the festival this upcoming May. Sheryl Crow, TLC, Sublime, Remi Wolf, The Black Crowes, T-Pain, and many more will hit the stages at Boston Calling in a few months.
Fans can get down on the Boston Calling presale event on Wednesday, January 8 at 10:00 am ET. This will be the best time to get the lowest-priced tickets available. Set your alarm, because access to presale tickets will expire within two hours of going live. General on-sale will follow immediately after the presale hours wrap up. General Admission, GA+, VIP, and Platinum festival passes will be available, but you’ll have to act fast!
