Boston Calling is getting thirstier. And so are we.
The three-day music festival at City Hall Plaza announced this morning that they have added Samuel Adams’ annual Octoberfest celebration to next month’s festivities.
Last May, it was indie rock band the Decemberists who were a last-minute addition; this time it’s Sam Adams Octoberfest.
We like where things are heading.
Check out the full presser below, because we don’t want to get any of the pertinent details lost in translation. The Boston Calling day lineups, headlined by the National, Lorde, and Nas x the Roots, respectively, follow after the jump.
