The onslaught of music festival lineups continues to pound fans everywhere. The newest collection of performers revealed to the world comes on behalf of Boston Calling, which is entering its fifth year as an event in May. Beck, the Pixies and My Morning Jacket are listed at the top of the bill, according to Billboard.
"As we head into our fifth Boston Calling, we're proud of the lineup and of the exceptionally talented songwriters and musicians performing. We can't wait to bring everyone together over Memorial Day weekend," said Brian Appel, co-founder of festival organizers Crash Line Productions.
This year, much like Rock in Rio USA, will not feature any overlapping sets, allowing generalized music fans the chance to catch every act (and give those not so hot on certain acts a chance to take a break for dinner). This will be the first time the festival features a no-overlap policy. The festival is also interesting in that Aaron Dessner, guitarist for The National, has served as a curator (despite residing in Brooklyn).
Last year featured two different renditions of Boston Calling: one during May and then another over the Labor Day weekend. No word on whether that will repeat this year but the website for the event does feature the word "spring" in its URL.
Tickets for this year's festival are available at the festival's website if you know the promo code. Get ready for it..."BOSTON." Here's the list of bands for the May rendition for the time being:
Beck, The Pixies, My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals, Tenacious D, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, TV on The Radio, Marina and The Diamonds, Vance Joy, Jason Isbell, Gerard Way, Tove Lo, Chet Faker, Run The Jewels, The Lone Bellow, Sharon Van Etten, Jungle, MØ, Grizfolk, DMA's, The Ballroom Thieves, Krill.
