The third and final day at the Boston Calling Music Festival brought forth some of the most energetic and memorable performances of the weekend. Gentleman Hall started the day off on the right path, with band member Seth Hachen performing a solo on flute.

This intro gave taste of what would follow, a unique indie-rock band filled with passion and excitement to be playing in their hometown. Lead singer Gavin Merlot performed a cover of Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe,” which was filled with falsetto vocals and fast paced delivery of lyrics. By the end of their set, the crowd had doubled in size and was pumped up for the next performances.

The bright, blue sky and perfect temperature dissolved people’s fear of any weather interruptions. The day continued with acts from The War on Drugs, Lake Street Dive, and San Fermin. Singer Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs had a harmonica holder attached to his microphone stand, enhancing his spirited solos.

During the early evening, Twenty One Pilots came on. Entering the stage with masks on their faces and eerie music playing, the audience was immediately captivated. They opened with their song “Guns for Hands,” followed by “Migraine.” These are from their album “Vessel” which was released in January of 2013. Throughout their opening songs, band members Tyler Joseph (lead singer) and Josh Dun (drums) had three costume, or should I say mask, changes. The high intensity they expressed was hypnotizing. Crowd participation was brought to a maximum level when about halfway through their set Josh Dun was brought into the crowd on a stand where he played the drums. The two performed many of their songs from Vessel, along with covers of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and Elvis Presley’s “I Can’t Help Falling In Love.” After the band finished their set, the crowd’s excitement was at a high with anticipation for The 1975.

Before he could even walk onto the stage, girls were screaming “Matty! Matty! Matty!” at the top of their lungs. When The 1975 sauntered onto the stage, there was a surge of people pushing up to get closer to the band.

Opening with the perfect song for the event, “The City,” Matty Healy walked onto the stage in his calm and collected mannerism, with wine bottle in hand. His flamboyant gestures enhanced the performance. The other band members include Adam Hann on guitar, George Daniels on Drums, and Ross MacDonald on bass. They performed songs from their debut album, The 1975. Their performance brought girls to tears and continued to raise the energy level of the audience. The sun started to set as they exited the stage, creating something “from a movie scene, or magazine you know what I mean.”

As Spoon started to play the city became dark and the lights from surrounding buildings and the stage illuminated the area.

The last two acts were The Replacements and Nas x The Roots. The two performances closed up a very memorable day. Junior Daniela Went said, “I want to know what the setlist is for next year. I already want to buy tickets for the next festival and I don’t even know who is playing.”
