So, spring has finally sprung and all that damn snow has started to melt away (at least from our streets if not from our nightmares). And just in time for the fresh green grass is music fest season, including our beauteous city's Boston Calling.

This three day event is like nothing you've experienced before. Not only do you get two and half days of insane tunes, but since this festival is right in City Hall Plaza, you won't have to smoothly invite your new lady friends back to your camp sight to help you pop your tent (trust us, this is a good thing).

Kick off your stellar Memorial Day weekend with Beck, Tame Impala, and Sharon Van Etten, on Friday May 22nd. Then, continue the party Saturday and Sunday with awesome artists like the Pixies, Ben Harper, TV on the Radio, Vance Joy, Tenacious D, and many more.

With gates opening at 6pm Friday night and reopening Saturday and Sunday at noon, you won't even have to take a "sick day" for this fest. And at $175 for the three day pass (and single day tickets available at $75/day), you don't have to spend your life savings to rock out either!

So grab your bandannas, dandelion crowns and maybe even some of that fresh green grass, and head to Boston Calling, for a Memorial Day you won't forget.
