Who are the headliners for Boston Calling 2025?

Boston Calling Music Festival 2025 boasts an impressive trio of headliners: Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy, and Dave Matthews Band. Luke Combs, a country music superstar, headlines Friday, May 23, bringing his chart-topping hits like 'Beautiful Crazy' to the stage, appealing to fans of modern country. On Saturday, May 24, Fall Out Boy, the pop-punk icons known for songs like 'Sugar, We’re Goin Down,' take the spotlight, offering a high-energy performance rooted in 2000s nostalgia. Closing out the festival on Sunday, May 25, is Dave Matthews Band, recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, delivering their signature jam-band sound with tracks like 'Crash Into Me.'

These headliners reflect Boston Calling’s commitment to a genre-spanning lineup, curated in part by Aaron Dessner of The National. Alongside them, over 50 acts—including Megan Moroney, Sheryl Crow, Avril Lavigne, and Vampire Weekend—will perform across multiple stages, with schedules released closer to the event on the festival app. The rotating main stage, a new feature for 2025, aims to enhance visibility and sound quality for these marquee performances, addressing past crowd congestion issues.
