The Boston Calling Spring 2018 Lineup Is Here

January is the perfect time to think about your plans for spring, right? The Boston Calling music festival has released its official lineup for the spring 2018 festival. The three headliners will be Eminem, who hasn’t toured in New England since 2005, the Killers, and Jack White. Other performers include St. Vincent, Queens of the Stone Age, Tyler, the Creator, Khalid, and the National, whose Aaron Dessner curates the lineup each year. The full list of 54 artists is below broken out by date, as is a map of the festival.

The festival takes place over Memorial Day Weekend, on May 25-27, 2018, and once again will be located at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston. A Natalie Portman film experience, first promised last year before getting canceled, is once again on the schedule, as well as appearances from Pod Save America and a list of comedians, including local Jenny Slate, Cameron Esposito, and Tony Hinchcliffe.

Per a press release, the festival is also promising additional entrance lanes, better wifi, “dozens of additional food vendors,” more craft brewing choices, and a huge new 20,000 square foot VIP lounge. And if you’re only reading this because you were annoyed by how loud last year’s festival was (uh, sorry?), the festival has also added a new sound system to lessen sound bleed around the neighborhood.

Tickets for all three days are on sale now for $289, as are single day tickets for $95, in case this daily schedule makes you want to prioritize.
