The single-day lineups for the 2018 Boston Calling music festival were released Thursday morning, with The Killers, Jack White, and Eminem headlining Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the festival, respectively. This year’s Boston Calling music festival will take place from May 25-27.
Along with announcing the daily lineups, festival organizers put up a limited number of single-day tickets for sale on the Boston Calling website. They’ll only be available until Friday at 12 p.m. at the “announce date” price point: $95 for general admission, $219 for VIP (which includes perks like a fast pass entrance to the festival and air-conditioned bathrooms), and $579 for Platinum (which includes VIP perks plus access to premium food and beverages and exclusive merch). After 12 p.m. on Friday, single-day tickets will be available at their regular prices of $105, $229, and $599 for general admission, VIP, and Platinum, respectively.
Like 2017, the festival will once again be held at the Harvard Athletic Complex. One change from last year is the comedy lineup, which has been rebranded as a “Comedy and Entertainment Lineup” and will be headlined by actress and Harvard graduate Natalie Portman. Portman had to cancel her scheduled “film experience” at the 2017 festival. More information about the comedy and entertainment programming, which will once again be held in the festival’s arena (the Bright-Landry Hockey Center), will be available in the coming months, according to a press release.
Here are the full lineups for each of the three days:
