Day Tripping: Boston Calling unveils single-day lineups for 2018 fest

Studio 52 is a community artist space located in the heart of Allston, and is proud to support the Boston music scene and local artist community.


Here’s an early gift from Boston Calling Music Festival: Single-day lineups are out!

Last year we didn’t get word on who was playing on which day until March, so this is a nice January surprise. And it gives us added time to figure out what day is the best (if you play those types of games, of course). This spring’s Boston Calling — going down May 25 to 27 at Allston’s Harvard Athletic Complex over Memorial Day weekend — shakes out like this:

The Killers headline Friday, after The National, Paramore, and Portugal. The Man.

Jack White caps off Saturday, after Queens of the Stone Age, Tyler, The Creator, and St. Vincent.

And Eminem closes out Sunday, post Khalid, Bryson Tiller, Fleet Foxes, and The Decemberists.

On the Boston tip, Weakened Friends kick off Saturday, and STL GLD open the Sunday slate.

With the single-day lineup news comes single-day ticket availability and a new payment plan has been implemented. Here’s word on pricing directly from Boston Calling:

Single day tickets are available for purchase beginning today, January 18 at 10 a.m. EST at bostoncalling.com.
