Boston Calling makes its triumphant return to Allston, Massachusetts this Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29th with Metallica, The Strokes and Foo Fighters headlining the three day festival. These three powerful rock bands will lead a lineup of over 50 performers, including the largest collection of regional talent ever to take the stage at Boston Calling. The 2022 bill features an incredibly diverse mix of globally recognized music stars, including Rufus Su Sol, Weezer, Haim, Run The Jewels, Orville Peck, The Struts, Avril Lavigne, Black Pumas, Modest Mouse and more.

“We are so thrilled to bring Boston Calling back, and we cannot thank our loyal fans enough for supporting us as we navigated the pandemic,” says Boston Calling founder Brian Appel. “This year’s lineup is particularly special for us. It not only signifies a return to the things we love, but it also celebrates some of the world’s most renowned acts, exciting up-and-comers, and Boston’s talented music scene. Knowing how much Boston musicians endured during the pandemic, it was very important to us that Boston Calling 2022 shine a spotlight on local and regional artists more than ever before. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone come together on Memorial Day Weekend.”
