Boston Calling 2025 was held at the Harvard Athletic Complex May 23 – 25. Dave Matthews Band, Fall Out Boy, Luke Combs, Vampire Weekend, Avril Lavigne and Megan Moroney headlined.
The festival made its debut in May 2013 at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. Boston Calling transitioned in 2016 from a bi-annual event to a single, multi-day festival. Harvard Athletic Complex has hosted Boston Calling since 2017. The COVID pandemic led organizers to cancel the 2020 and 2021 installments.
