Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine to Headline

Limited Early Bird 3-Day Tickets Are On Sale Now at www.BostonCalling.com

Boston, MA (May 26, 2021) – Boston Calling tells music fans to mark their calendars for next spring. The acclaimed three-day festival is excited to announce its return to Allston, MA next Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29, 2022. As the only major U.S. music festival to officially announce its headliners for next year, Boston Calling shares that Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine are slated to top the bill. The two globally iconic rock acts will join a lineup of over 60 performers, including an additional headliner, all of which will be shared in the months to come. A limited number of early bird 3-day tickets are on sale now at www.bostoncalling.com.

Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine were both set to headline the 2020 edition of Boston Calling before the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic.  After celebrating their 25th anniversary last year and releasing their 10th studio album in February, multi-GRAMMY Award winners, Foo Fighters, will take to the Boston Calling stage in 2022 with their electric live show. Meanwhile, Rage Against the Machine will be reuniting for their highly anticipated first tour in over ten years with Boston Calling being the band’s only New England show on their 2022 North American tour.

“We couldn’t be happier to return in 2022 and deliver a full-scale festival with two of the world’s most celebrated rock bands as our headliners. We’ve spent the past year working on a festival that our fans can really look forward to, and we’re so excited to share more news and surprises as we get into next year,” said Boston Calling Events, LLC (BCE), co-founder and chief executive officer Brian Appel.

A limited number of early bird 3-Day General Admission tickets ($299.99), 3-Day VIP tickets ($799.99), and 3-Day Platinum tickets ($1,599.99) are on sale now at www.bostoncalling.com.
