Boston Calling just revealed the daily lineup for this year’s festival, taking place May 26 – 28, 2017 at the fields of Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston.
To kick things off Boston Calling will open Friday with show-stopping performances from 2017 Grammy Best New Artist Chance the Rapper and Bon Iver, in their only scheduled northeast performance this year. Saturday brings English rock superstars Mumford & Sons and indie pop heavyweights The xx. Sunday’s schedule will see legendary rock band Tool in its first scheduled show of 2017 along with Major Lazer, and alt rock favorites Weezer. We’re just getting started…
Friday will also see performances from a wide range of talent including Sigur Rós, Solange, and Sylvan Esso. Saturday will highlight indie rock, electro-pop, and Americana folk with performances from The 1975, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats, Tegan and Sara, and Brandi Carlile. Cage The Elephant, Run The Jewels and local favorites Buffalo Tom, Piebald, and Converge round out the festival on Sunday.
The decision to move Boston Calling from City Hall Plaza to the fields at Harvard Athletic Complex allows for nearly double the acts, in addition to a greater expansion of visual art, including a film experience curated by Academy Award-winning actress, producer and director Natalie Portman.
