After serious safety concerns at Boston Calling last year, fans return in 2025

After last year’s chaotic Boston Calling music festival, fans have returned hopeful that the new changes — including an indoor arena, more water stations and merged stages — might address past overcrowding and logistical nightmares. “Instead of a fun experience last year, it felt stressful. Everyone was just running and pushing, trying to get everywhere, instead of standing and enjoying the show,” said Felicia Elias, 25, of Agawam.
