Set to once again take over the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston May 23-25, the annual, three-day music festival revealed the lineup for its latest edition on Monday. Combs, the country crooner who brought the house down performing “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman at last year’s Grammys, headlines the first night of fun on Friday, May 23. Meanwhile, emo rockers Fall Out Boy headline the second night on Saturday, May 24, with 2025 marking the 20th anniversary of the band’s hit second studio album “From Under the Cork Tree.” Headlining the final night of the fest on Sunday, May 25, is Dave Matthews Band, which comes to Boston fresh off the group’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this past fall.
The lineup of more than 50 artists has a bit of something for everyone, including country star Megan Moroney; emo and pop-punk talent including Avril Lavigne, All Time Low, and The Maine; indie rockers Vampire Weekend; plus hip-hop and R&B legends Public Enemy, T-Pain, and TLC. Other artists and bands set to perform include Sheryl Crow, Sublime, The Black Crowes, Remi Wolf, Goth Babe, mike., James Bay, Thee Sacred Souls, Tom Morello, and Lucius, as well as up-and-comers like country singer-songwriter Max McNown and rock violinist SOFIA ISELLA.
According to the press release, Boston Calling 2025 will have more water stations on hand that are “strategically placed throughout the grounds to ensure hydration is easily accessible for everyone.” The air-conditioned, indoor arena is back this year as well and will be open for attendees to relax in throughout the weekend. The festival teased in its social media post last week that “special indoor programming” for the arena will be announced at a later date.
The presale for single- and three-day general admission, GA+, VIP, and platinum tickets begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. at bostoncalling.com.
