Following Boston Calling’s announcement in May of Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine as two of its 2022 headliners, the festival is excited to reveal two more acts on its 2022 lineup. Renowned hip-hop duo Run the Jewels will return to the festival and breakout rock and soul band Black Pumas will make their Boston Calling debut, performing at the acclaimed three-day festival in Allston, MA next Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29, 2022. The two GRAMMY nominated acts will join a to-be-announced lineup of more than 50 performers, including a third headliner. The announcement of Run the Jewels and Black Pumas is part of a series of Boston Calling 2022 artist announcements the festival will roll out over the next several months. A limited number of early bird 3-day tickets are on sale now at www.bostoncalling.com.

Next year’s Boston Calling will mark Run the Jewels’ third time performing at the festival. The hip-hop duo will embark on an extensive, much anticipated 2022 North American tour, opening for Rage Against the Machine, with Boston Calling being the bands’ only New England show. Meanwhile, Black Pumas is coming off of a tremendous year of multiple GRAMMY nominations for their debut self-titled album and their highest profile appearance yet, performing at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

“As we get closer to our return in 2022, we’re excited to reveal more artists on our Boston Calling lineup each month. Run the Jewels has been an incredible highlight at Boston Calling in years past and we look forward to welcoming them and Black Pumas, an extraordinary new artist playing the festival for the first time,” said Boston Calling Events, LLC (BCE), co-founder and chief executive officer Brian Appel.
