Day One - May 23, 2025
Infinity Song
Infinity Song didn’t just get the crowd fired up on Friday afternoon, but the New York band amazed the masses with their upbeat dance moves. As siblings, the band has been releasing incredible music for years. Now, they took the stage at Boston Calling to show just how talented they really are.
Wilderado
Wilderado represented Tulsa, OK by playing hits like “Surefire” and “Take Some Time” from their self-titled album. They gave what the audience needed on a rainy day: mellow indie-folk bangers.
Max McNown
We all can’t be country music stars, but Max McNown sure is one. Not to mention that McNown knows how to work a crowd with his set that featured covers of “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley & The Wailers and “Stick Season” by Noah Kahan. Lately, Max McNown has been making strides with his latest record, Night Diving.
T-Pain
T-Pain ended the night with his most famous songs “Buy U a Drank” and “I’m N Luv.” He doesn’t miss a beat even now if not ever. He started performing in 2005 and it most definitely hasn't ended 20 years later.
Day Two - May 24, 2025
Valley
Valley didn’t let sun showers dampen the mood. The Toronto-based indie pop band lit up Boston with their high-energy. They rocked-out to tunes from Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden.
All Time Low
All Time Low brought a wave of nostalgia to the stage during Boston Calling. The pop-punk trio delivered a hit-filled set featuring “Weightless” and the iconic “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” making the festival crowd feel like they were turning back time.
Cage the Elephant
Cage the Elephant brought chaos and charisma to their performance by holding the crowd’s attention from start to finish. Songs like “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” had the audience shouting every word, while “Cigarette Daydreams” offered a quieter moment that resonated just as deeply.
Fall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy closed out the night after Avril Lavigne with a fiery set that drew a massive crowd. “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” reminded fans just why the band still holds its place in the emo and alt-rock scene.
Day Three - May 25, 2025
Goth Babe
Goth Babe brought sunny energy to a cloudy day by getting fans pumped-up with a set full of positive spirit. His playful presence and upbeat sound made his performance one of the most fun and carefree moments from the entire weekend.
Remi Wolf
Remi Wolf kicked off her set navigating technical delays with playful banter. Eventually, she powered through “Cinderella,” “Photo ID,” and a soulful cover of “Dreams" by the Cranberries, turning a rocky beginning into a standout end to one of the last performances at Boston Calling.
