With less than a week left, we’re back with our list of who you need to be keeping an eye out for at the Boston Calling Music Festival!
On our list so far: #7. Lizzo, #6. The Vaccines, #5. The Front Bottoms, #4. HAIM, #3. Elle King, #2. City and Colour
Today we talk about our #1 pick, Sia.
Each year when I do this list, I set a rule for myself – I try to not include headliners. They obviously don’t need help attracting fans; they’re headlining a music festival. But, when one of the headliners is one of
the most eccentric, electric, enthralling performers around, I’ll break the rule (it’s my rule anyway, so whatever). Long story short: Sia. There’s not much I can say here that hasn’t already been said of her – she’s as much of a performer as she is the performance itself, and she
is one of those once-in-a-while artists that shouldn’t be missed when the chance presents itself.
Catch Them: Friday, 9:45 pm
Check Out: “Chandelier (Piano Version),” “Fire Meets Gasoline,” “Elastic Heart”
For fans of: St. Vincent, Florence + the Machine, Ellie Goulding

It’s almost time! It’s less than one week away until we’re back at Boston Calling once more. So, to keep with tradition, here is our list of who you need to be keeping an eye out for!
On our list so far: #7. Sharon Van Etten / Krill / The Ballroom Thieves, #6. Run The Jewels
Today we talk about our #5 pick, Halsey.
I didn’t get my first
listen of Halsey until early this
year, but from then on, there was no turning back. Her music is purely
addictive, and her huge “Ghost” is anything you could hope for from a pop song
– smooth, soft, sharp and seductive.
One of the serious contenders for Breakout Artist of
late-2014/2015, her early time slot is going to be a serious treat for those
who get there early. But, if she makes her way back for another round sometime
down the road, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see her performing much later.
For fans of: Ellie Goulding, Lorde, Sia
For a taste, check out: “Hurricane,” “Ghost,” “Empty Gold”
Catch them: Sunday, 1:35, JetBlue Stage
