Mumford and Sons, Chance the Rapper and Tool will headline Boston Calling, one of the Northeast’s most anticipated music events, set to take place at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston on Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28.
The festival moves from Boston’s City Hall Plaza, where it has been held since its start in 2013.
This year, Boston Calling more than doubles its number of music acts with 45 performances, on three stages. The festival will add a film experience curated by Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman, along with comprehensive food, drink and visual arts components.
A limited number of Early Bird tickets are available now at www.bostoncalling.com.
The 2017 lineup is eclectic, with music that crosses genres and includes performers who have stood the test of time, as well as those who are just beginning to make their mark.
