Sunday, May 27th will be packed with show-stopping performances by 19-year old platinum-selling prodigy Khalid and record-breaking hip-hop legend Eminem, who will close out the festival with his first New England show since 2005. All performance times will be revealed at a later date.
Friday’s lineup will also be packed with celebrated indie and alternative acts such as The National, Paramore, and Maggie Rogers. Hip-hop phenomenon Tyler, The Creator and cult-favorite, genre-bending icon St. Vincent will take the stage on Saturday, followed by a wide range of impressive talent on Sunday with performances by Fleet Foxes, Stormzy, Julien Baker, and Zola Jesus.
Adding to each day’s eclectic musical lineups, award-winning actress, producer and director Natalie Portman will curate and host a series of special programming, held indoors at the festival’s arena.
