Memorial Day Weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, is going to be fun with the eleventh installment of Boston Calling Music Festival from May 24 to 26, 2024, at Harvard Athletic Complex. It’s three days of live music across four music stages, featuring Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, Tyler Childers, Trey Anastasio & Classic Tab, The Killers, and Hozier as the main acts.

And it’s epic as epic can get. 

Representing country in the event are The Red Clay Strays, Tanner Usrey, Jessie Murph, and The Castellows. Additionally, big name artists like Reneé Rapp, Luke Hemmings, Young the Giant, David Kushner, Keiran Rhodes, Justin Clancy, d4vd, Cakeswagg, Megan Thee Stallion, Chapell Roan, Lovejoy, and The Revivalists, just to name a few, will also be gracing the stage. 

But the star-studded lineup isn’t really surprising. Last year, on the event’s tenth-year milestone, they had Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, Alanis Morissette, The National, The Lumineers, and Foo Fighters (which was also their first major performance since the passing of Taylor Hawkins). 

Aside from the amazing music, the festival’s also serving up everything from New England lobster rolls to Southern BBQ. As they said, there’s a local taste for everyone. To cap it off, there’s a scenic view of the 100’ ferris wheel and art displays for fans to enjoy.
