Boston Calling Announces Lineup, Food & Beverage “Enhancements”

Boston Calling-5

If you’ve been hoping for the chance to enjoy a “specially curated wine experience” while watching Robyn publicly urging you to call your girlfriend amidst the flashing lights, then 2016 is your year, and Boston Calling is your festival.

It’s been announced that Sia, Sufjan Stevens, and Lisa Hannigan and Aaron Dessner will open up the first night of the festival. Single day tickets for this line-up on Friday, May 27 go on sale tomorrow, January 29 at 10AM EST.

The festival announced the lineup for the seventh cycle earlier this month, and set the dates for Friday through Sunday, May 27, 28, and 29, at City Hall Plaza. In a refreshing turn of events, the headliners also feature widely diverse powerhouse acts from Sia to Janelle Monáe to local favorites Palehound and Michael Christmas.

This spring’s Boston Calling will also feature a comedy stages, of which the performers will be announced in the coming weeks, and “an expanded food and beverage program,” including appearances from Wine Riot (see “specially curated wine experience” above) and other craft brewers and food options.

Weekend passes are for sale on the Boston Calling website , but you’ll just have to wait for the release of Saturday’s and Sunday’s day-by-day schedule. See the full lineup below, and take a look through some of last year’s Boston Calling coverage to gauge whether or not you’ll shell out for the hometown fest.
