Read this in a Paul Revere voice: "The 2024 Boston Calling set times are coming! The 2024 Boston Calling set times are coming!"

Actually, they're not coming. They're already here. Back in January, Boston Calling Music Festival revealed the full lineup for the 2024 edition, set to take place on Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26, at the Harvard Athletic Complex. Tickets are available now on their website. We're giving away a pair of three-day GA+ wristbands. You can enter to win those over here.

The 2024 Boston Calling Set Times Have Been Released

Now that we've had some time to let the full lineup sink in, festival organizers have posted the set times so we can schedule accordingly. I'll share my day-by-day plan of attack, then you can dig into the full slate below. Starting on Friday, I'm going to be posted up at the Red Stage for Boston's own Divine Sweater at 1:45, then neo-soul icon Leon Bridges at 7:05.

I'm hitting the Red Stage right after gates open on Saturday, too, for another great local performer: Lowell's own Senseless Optimism at 1:45. Then it's Boston band Bad Rabbits at 3:00, followed by folk-punk Frank Turner at 4:55 on the Red Stage, instrumental gods Khruganbin at 6:05 on the Green Stage, and then maybe a bit of good country from Ward Hayden & the Outliers on the Orange Stage at 6:50.

I'll likely start my Sunday at the Orange Stage, with another Lowell-based act, rockers Tysk Tysk Task at 2:45. Then, I'll let my kids drag me to Lovejoy on the Red Stage at 6:15 and Megan Thee Stallion on the Green Stage at 6:25. And of course, we'll all be winding the weekend down with the Green Stage-headlining Killers set at 9:10.

It's good to have a plan before going in to Boston Calling, so take a look at those set times below and start putting yours together.

2024 Boston Calling Friday Set Times

Don't sleep on Leon Bridges: we might not play him on ROCK 92.9, but he's an electric performer and his set will no doubt be a highlight of the entire weekend.


2024 Boston Calling Saturday Set Times

Speaking of electric performers, they don't get much more dynamic than Frank Turner. I've seen him play for thousands and for a few dozen, and he always brings his A-game.


2024 Boston Calling Sunday Set Times

Fun fact: this isn't the first time the Killers have headlines Boston Calling. They were the Friday headliner back in 2018.
