Boston Calling: New England's biggest music festival is back
Boston Calling is back, and for the 2025 edition, New England's biggest music festival is going big on nostalgic rock acts from the '90s and 2000s. So drop the kids off at grandma's, slip on two-to-four layered tank tops or bust out your L.A. Looks Megahold hair gel (if you have any hair left) — it's time to rock. Why it matters: Boston Calling returns this Memorial Day weekend, bringing headliners Fall Out Boy, Luke Combs and Dave Matthews Band to the Harvard Athletic Complex. Catch up quick: The festival will be a bit different this year for the 40,000 or so expected attendees after crowd control and safety issues last year. There will be a new rotating main stage instead of the separate Red and Green stages that split the crowd up. A redesigned festival layout is meant to improve crowd flow, and more water stations will be available so aging Davers can stay hydrated. The indoor arena, meant to provide a cooler venue out of the sun, is returning for the first time in six years. Zoom in: This year's lineup is heavy on older rock favorites that wouldn't be out of place sharing an iPod circa 2008. The exception is Friday, which features 35-year-old country star Luke Combs. Saturday brings emo/pop-punk nostalgia from Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne. Sunday closes with Dave Matthews Band and Vampire Weekend. The basics: The festival is three days of music with 13 local New England artists and touring national acts you might find on a burned CD-R: Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, TLC, Cage the Elephant, The Black Crowes and Public Enemy. There's no on-site parking, so take the T to Harvard or hail a ride. Tickets are still available. The weather forecast calls for clouds in the 50s and 60s Friday and Saturday and sun in the mid-60s Sunday. The local stage will feature acts like hip-hop performer Latrell James on Friday night, and alt/punk band Rebuilder on Saturday afternoon.

Despite wet weather, thousands gather for day one of Boston Calling music festival
Boston Calling had a wet start to the weekend on Friday, but the rain did not stop people from smiling and enjoying the music. Tens of thousands of music fans are expected to attend the annual music festival this Memorial Day weekend. Country singer Luke Combs took to the stage Friday night, as well as Sheryl Crow and Megan Moroney, along with dozens of other artists set for Saturday and Sunday. 'I'm looking forward to seeing Luke Combs,' said Joe Mazzarella. 'He's my inspiration.' 'Tonight, it's T-Pain, tomorrow Fall Out Boy, Avril, All Time Low, it's our pre-teen emo years that we're reminiscing,' Kara Corslund said. The rainy and dreary weather is not fazing those who have been looking forward to this weekend for months. 'It's not too bad either, just a couple sprinkles,, not going to hurt nobody,' Charlie Bowe said. The music festival at Harvard's Athletic Center looks a lot different compared to last year. 'It was really fun, really hot the day that I went,' Allison Stacey said. 'A lot of people were passing out and stuff.' Organizers with Boston Calling added extra water stations throughout the venue, redesigned the stages to help with congestion, and also added an indoor arena. Meanwhile, the group TLC did not perform on Friday due to a medical issue. 'Any time that an artist needs to be like, 'hey, I can't do this for whatever reason', that's their choice, it stinks they're not here, but take care of yourself,' Corslund said. Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne are Saturday's headliners with the Dave Matthews Band on Sunday. perform This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
