Editor’s Note: In May 2013, Boston underwent a music revolution. Award-winning digital arts magazine Vanyaland and game-changing major-league music festival Boston Calling launched within 10 short days of each other, completely altering and elevating the landscape where music and culture intersect in a city that had previously gone relatively stale. In the near-decade since, the two entities have been a defining feature of our city, both for its residents and how it’s perceived everywhere else. In Spring 2022, Vanyaland and Boston Calling team up to showcase the homegrown bands and artists that help shape the most Boston lineup of Boston Calling ever. Boston Calling’s ’22 headliners — Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, The Strokes — and its solid undercard are well-known and established; but over the next few weeks, keep it locked as Vanyaland profiles the homegrown talent that decorates the lineup like never before. Nine years later, Vanyaland and Boston Calling continue to showcase Boston in new ways, and we have the sounds to prove it.

What can fans expect from your set at Boston Calling?
“Fans can expect to see the best shoes at Boston Calling. These sparkly studded stunners will be sliding all over the stage while the band’s unique indie rock blasts into the spring air. You’ll get layered vocal harmonies, shimmering guitar tones, and the driving rhythm section that will get you moving and put a smile on your face.” — Dutch Tulips
Artist bio:
Dutch Tulips are four humans making music together in Boston, MA. Started by friends looking to make music they were passionate about, Dutch Tulips have felt compelled to address themes of mental health and isolation since their onset. Layering these ideas amongst approachable pop songs dancing on the edge of being too weird is their specialty. It’s comfort music for those who live uncomfortably. Their debut full length album ‘Double Visions’ is out now.
