After two years without a music festival, Boston Calling has dropped the mic on the full lineup of artists performing this summer — and it’s pretty rockin’.

The 11th edition of the three-day festival is happening Memorial Day weekend at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston.

Without further ado, here are the headliners we’ve all been waiting for:

🎤 Friday, May 27 — Foo Fighters

🎤 Saturday, May 28 — The Strokes

🎤 Sunday, May 29 — Metallica

Rage Against the Machine was originally set to be a headliner, but recently canceled and postponed all shows on the first part of their upcoming tour.

This year’s festival will feature the largest collection of regional artists with 18 locally based performers in total. Here are some of the musicians from our neck of the woods:

With 50+ artists slated to perform, there’s a lot to be excited for — HAIM, Avril Lavigne, Weezer, and Glass Animals are just a few more popular musicians taking the stage.

The 11th edition of the three-day festival is happening Memorial Day weekend (May 27-29) at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston.

For now, only three-day tickets are available, with special pricing if you purchase early:

  • $369.99 — General admission pass
  • $999.999 — VIP pass
  • $1,999.99 — Platinum pass

… plus fees, of course. You can also plan ahead with a friend to save on a two-pack of three-day tickets for $699.99.
