The Boston Calling Music Festival 2025 is scheduled for May 23 to May 25, 2025, taking place over the Memorial Day weekend. This annual event will be hosted at the Harvard Athletic Complex, located at 65 North Harvard Street in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Since moving to this venue in 2017 from its original City Hall Plaza location, the festival has utilized the expansive outdoor space to accommodate multiple stages, art installations, and a diverse crowd of music lovers.

The Harvard Athletic Complex is conveniently situated near the Charles River, just a short walk from Harvard Square, making it accessible via public transit like the MBTA Red Line. The festival typically attracts over 40,000 attendees across its three days, offering a vibrant mix of performances, local food vendors, and interactive experiences like a 100-foot Ferris wheel.

Gates usually open at noon each day, with performances running into the late evening, though exact times will be confirmed closer to the event via the official Boston Calling app or website. This timing aligns with the festival’s tradition of kicking off Boston’s summer music season in a big way, drawing both local fans and out-of-town visitors to celebrate a weekend of music and culture.
