New England’s largest music festival will not only welcome country royalty, punk icons and award-winning rock bands. It will also celebrate the region’s dynamic music scene.
More than a dozen local acts will perform at Boston Calling this year in addition to headliners Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy and Dave Matthews Band.
These artists will perform on both the main stages and the Orange Stage, which is devoted exclusively to regional acts, over the course of the three-day festival.
