Lollapalooza Aftershows lineup is here—here's who's keeping the party going all night
No more need for lineup rumors or headliner predictions: Lollapalooza 2025 will officially kick off this summer with four days of the world's best music under the iconic Chicago skyline at Grant Park from July 31 through August 3. Whether your vibe is metal, country, punk, hip hop or electronic dance music, you'll find something to love at this mammoth music festival: Thursday's lineup includes Tyler, The Creator and Luke Combs; Friday's smashers are Olivia Rodrigo and Korn; Saturday you can see Rüfüs Du Sol and Twice; and Sunday's stars are Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP Rocky, among many other artists set to dazzle over the weekend. But the party doesn't end there: The 2025's Aftershows lineup has dropped and the talent coming to the City of Big Shoulders is fantastic. With more than 40 artists performing at two dozen stellar venues citywide, the late-night Aftershows give music fans the chance to see both established and emerging artists in more intimate settings than those big Lolla stages. Participating venues include celebrated locales like Aragon Ballroom, Bottom Lounge, Empty Bottle, House of Blues, Metro, Riviera Theatre, Salt Shed, Sound-Bar, Thalia Hall, and Vic Theatre. And taking to those stages will be a wide variety of live talent this year, including Layz, Magdalena Bay, Wild Rivers, Foster the People, Tanner Adell, Bleachers, Cage the Elephant, FINNEAS, Sierra Ferrell with Yana, Wallows, La Femme, Ravyn Lenae (a Chicago native), Fujii Kaze, Djo, Mariah the Scientist, Bôa, Isaiah Rashad, Remi Wolf, Dominic Fike, The Symposium, JPEGMAFIA, Bladee, Zack Fox, and many more.

PHOTOS: Megan Moroney kicks in some country to get Boston Calling 2025 rolling
The self-proclaimed 'Emo Cowgirl' turned some heads in Boston on a rainy Friday night and it's not just because of those shiny white boots, bright red dress and matching lipstick. Megan Moroney took the stage after Sheryl Crow and got the country fans in attendance ready for two-time Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year winner Luke Combs with her own award-winning country twang. Moroney, 27, went from watching Kenny Chesney in concert from section 312 of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2018, to dropping a duet with Mr. No Shoes Nation just a few weeks back called 'You Had to Be There.' She first got noticed when she opened for Chase Rice while she was a student at the University of Georgia. Speaking of Moroney and Combs, she actually made an appearance in his 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' music video back in 2019, well before she dropped her latest chart-topper 'Am I OK?' and 2022 breakout hit 'Tennessee Orange.' Moroney will be back in Boston this summer, when she hits Roadrunner for a pair of shows in early August. 23 of our favorite photos that summarize Boston Calling 2024 Country music superstars perform chart-topping duet at Boston Calling PHOTOS: Luke Combs wraps up Night 1 at 2025 Boston Calling Acclaimed indie band recalls Boston Calling act that left them starstruck After serious safety concerns at Boston Calling last year, fans return in 2025 T-Pain gets Boston Calling sprung on Night 1 (Photos) Boston Calling 2025 food vendors Who is Playing and When?

Purdy shares hilarious revelation about Luke Combs concert
Purdy shares hilarious revelation about Luke Combs concert originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area Brock Purdy has no trouble keeping his composure on the football field, but put him on stage with a microphone, and suddenly things get dicey. Advertisement The 49ers quarterback was asked what he thought was the more nerve-wracking situation: avoiding a linebacker or going on stage with American country music singer Luke Combs. 'I'd say being on stage with Luke Combs,' Purdy laughingly said Thursday on 95.7 The Game's 'Willard & Dibs.' 'Man, George [Kittle] and I were up there, and we couldn't hear a thing. I was like, 'How do they go up there and sing? And everyone's singing with you.' So, I was starstruck up there. So definitely that [is more stressful]. Last May, Purdy and some of his teammates appeared on stage at the sold-out show at Levi's Stadium to rock out with one of country music's biggest stars. Given the massive stadium show and the loud crowd, it's no surprise that the San Francisco signal-caller couldn't hear anything, let alone start belting out a song. Advertisement Thankfully, Purdy plays football for a living, so he won't have to worry about singing on pitch or in time. Download and follow the 49ers Talk Podcast

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.
