upcoming US tour with no Boston date! In the area during the festival weekend! Very close with Noah Kahan and the Lumineers who previously played the festival!

Sucks, they would've been super fun! Getting tix for this date for sure though

Unless someone has other info, I'd say he's a lock on the 25th 🤝

I really want top to preform at Boston calling, is this at all possible? They already are scheduled for boston 3 times plus tour is over. Any thoughts?

I really want tame impala to play but honestly my morning jacket or chance the rapper would be cool. What do you guys think

Linkin Park, Childish Gambino, Olivia Rodrigo or Lana Del Ray. What are your guesses?

went to lollapalooza this year instead and they had more than 1 hydration station. the bar was low,, anyways ill be going to lolla again next year

Has anyone received their Ship to Home merch?

I ordered the sandstone hoodie and the laurel hat, received an “on the way” email July 2nd, and the UPS tracking link says a label has been created but they have yet to receive the items.

I’m just curious what others experiences are and suggestions if this is a sign my merch might be lost.

I’ve emailed the support email a couple times, but have yet to receive a reply.

Thanks!

Now that the dust has settled on our humble festival and the Harvard Athletic Complex has returned to… whatever it is it normally does, we can really get into the nitty gritty. That’s right. I’m talking about our dear lil pup, who canonically does not have a name. But is that right? Are we as a community going to sit idly by and let this rascal go nameless? The choice is yours! (See other stickied post for actual poll!)

Depending on how much bedlam this poll causes, we’ll see if we ever want to attempt this again, but throw out other ideas for polls/discussion in the comments!

hey yall! i was center barricade for chappell on day 3 and have been looking for crowd photos forever so this is my last hope. does anyone know where they get posted? i’ve checked so many photographers’ pages with no luck yet :/

More details to come from me, but the statement speaks for itself, and I’ve waited more than a month since the end of Boston Calling ‘24 to finally state this officially and confidently. Back-to-back nights of GEM headlining shows.

Did anyone order merch via the website after BC ended? Wondering if you received a shipping email yet. The bright pursuit is the company and it did say 4-5 weeks before being ready when I ordered. I’m just getting antsy… and my work is negative degrees all the time and I really want my BC hoodie 😅☺️

Anyone know when merch bought at the festival will be shipped? Thanks!

Found this vlog from Boston Calling 2024, shows some of the great artists we got to see!

Hey callers! Hope these couple of weeks post fest have been treating you well!

A minor subreddit update: you can now set your own custom user flair! While the classic “Boston Calling Veteran” is of course still available, you can now be more specific and say things like “Fall 2014, 2017, 2024” or “I don’t attend the fest, I’m just here to complain about the lineup”. Anything your heart desires to represent our diverse community!

Cheers!

So, almost the whole time the bands were playing, stuff was projected on the side big screens and it looked like everything was being filmed. Is this going to be available to re-watch at some point or was it not actually recorded and just projected.?.

Well it’s a slightly good update to anyone that saw my original post about it. I couldn’t get Boston calling to somehow send me $37 for the bag they forced me to not bring in on that last Sunday (they let other people bring in their tote bags). They threw mine out hours later without my knowledge. And Reneé’s merch team was a no go either BUT I just found an eBay seller who sold the bag for a lot less. Had I bought directly from her site it would’ve cost me $46 altogether.

I say this as a retail worker from target who doesn’t get paid enough for what I have to go through on a daily just to make sure her bills are paid on time and is trying her hardest to make sure basic needs are met. Who’s worked her feet off to get to those two days.

I enjoyed myself but never again at least for this specific festival.

I’m thinking of picking up a hoodie from the last call merch online via the website. Does anyone know the size measurements of the “Youth” hoodie. I really like the blue one but I’m not sure if it would fit me. I’m a slim tall (5’8) female. Normally a small or med in women’s clothing.

Drove from GA to see Meghan Thee Stallion and she did not disappoint! The festival was amazing and was well organized. So worth the trip!

Got my BC survey this morning. Hope they actually read them!

Wasn’t expecting this but would’ve bought online after if we had known. Wonder if it’s a permanent change?

No artist specific merch & prices seem to be the same. Not sure what shipping is like, paid $9 last year buying at the festival when stuff sold out.

Orders close June 6th at Bostoncallingmerch.com! If anyone needs a recommendation, the flame t-shirt is so soft. Debating the hoodie, is it cozy?

If we are going to put 100k people on that field and claim it was 40k here’s an ideal lineup of tip draw artists Friday Miley opens up for Bastille Saturday Taylor Swift opens up for Nine inch nails Sunday Metallica opens up for Beyoncé

Thoughts???

I don't think there was a point all weekend where I noticed sound quality issues, whatever they changed for this year worked great. The speaker arrays seemed physically smaller than past years (although I don't think there were any new towers added), and everything sounded fantastic, better than at any festival I've been to. There was a small glitch during Frank Turner, but that was a production issue, not a sound design problem.

I've gone every year since 2017, every year there have been big problems, just wanted to acknowledge that they did address one of our biggest complaints from previous years.

Anyone else experiencing this after the crowds on Sunday? I wasn’t even there so I’m not sure how it happened.
