Overview

About

Launched in 2013 at City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston, the festival has taken place since 2017 on Harvard University's athletic fields in Allston, a site that more than doubled its capacity. The lineup spans pop, rock, hip hop and country across multiple stages, without a single dominant musical identity.
