Here we are with the Boston Calling 2025 update. Yes, we’ll dig into the lineup. But there’s a lot going on at this year’s version of the fest to discuss.
Boston Calling Music Festival has been going strong since 2013. Back in those days, it all went down on City Hall Plaza in Boston. And it happened twice a year: one weekend in May, and another weekend in September.
In 2017, Boston Calling moved to its current home at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston. The previous year, it became a once-a-year thing, happening on Memorial Day Weekend. I’ve been to all but one Boston Calling. Here’s a history lesson.
Boston Calling 2025 Update: New Developments
The Festival team took a ton of fan feedback into account when planning this year’s iteration. Gone are the Red and Green stages. There will now be one main stage with a turntable, providing seamless entertainment without having to slog through the crowd.
The improved layout should help concertgoers get around, too. You’ll also see more water stations and have access to indoor space on the grounds to get out of the sun and cool down when needed. You can learn more about the 2025 improvements here.

Hit the Boston Calling website for all the details on tickets, including on-sale dates, packages, and more. If you’re looking to win a pair, make sure you’re listening to the Toucher & Hardy show all this week, then again as the festival gets closer.
If you want the skinny on who to see this year, keep scrolling. I’ve highlighted a handful of acts scattered across the three-day festival that I think will be worthy of your eyes and ears. After all, I’m the guy who’s there ever year. Trust me.
