Boston Calling’s 2017 lineup is here. Tool, Mumford and Sons, and Chance the Rapper headline the 3-day festival.
Mitski, who topped Allston Pudding’s album of the year list with Puberty 2, will play Boston Calling. Other artists who were on our list include Whitney, Bon Iver and Solange.
The lineup, which the festival says has more than doubled than last year’s list, also features The xx, Sigur Rós, Run the Jewels, Sylvan Esso, Frightened Rabbit and Francis and the Lights.
Local acts include Buffalo Tom, Vundabar, Cousin Stizz, The Hotelier and the recently reunited Piebald.
The festival will take place in Lower Allston at the Harvard Athletic Complex, and will feature not only music, but also film and visual art, according to a release.
Russ Bennet, artist and sculptor responsible for the layout and design of Outside Lands and Bonnaroo, will work on the festival’s aesthetic.
With an expanded footprint comes an expanded price point. Early bird tickets are on sale now for $245 and will raise to $269 plus fees once the cheap ones run out. VIP prices are $499 for a limited time, which then run to $529 plus fees. Platinum VIP passes, which give priority admission to film, better food and the ability to actually park at the festival, cost more than a month of rent at $899. After the early bird pricing runs out, it’s $999 plus fees. Cool!
It’s the first festival under the purview of the Madison Square Garden company, which owns a controlling interest in Crash Line Productions.
The 2017 edition of Boston Calling takes place over Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28.
