How many stages will there be at Boston Calling 2025?

Boston Calling 2025 will feature three stages at the Harvard Athletic Complex, down from four in previous years, as announced by organizers to address 2024’s crowd congestion issues. The big change is the merger of the former Red and Green main stages into one 'world-class rotating stage system,' debuting May 23–25. This innovative setup—details still vague—promises better views, improved audio, and more space for the 40,000+ daily attendees to move between performances by headliners like Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, and Dave Matthews Band.

The rotation likely minimizes downtime between sets, enhancing the flow for big acts. The other two stages include the Orange Stage, dedicated to Northeast talent (e.g., Latrell James, Future Teens), and a smaller stage (possibly Blue or a renamed variant) for emerging artists. Past festivals packed stages close together, leading to bottlenecks—think Chappell Roan’s 2024 set—so this reduction aims for safety and comfort. Exact stage locations and schedules will drop closer to the event on the festival app or bostoncalling.com, but the rotating main stage is the centerpiece for 2025’s 50+ acts.
