Boston Calling named the Dave Matthews Band, Fall Out Boy and Avril Lavigne as headliners in this year's festival.

The festival runs Friday, May 23, through Sunday, May 25, at Harvard Athletic Complex.

The intrigue: This year's lineup is packed with rock and country artists, including Friday's co-headliner, Luke Combs.

Catch up quick: Boston Calling announced a rotating stage and other improvements to this year's festival, following complaints of overcrowding and insufficient water last year.

Zoom in: Friday is all about country with Combs and country singer Megan Moroney co-headlining.

Sheryl Crow and T-Pain, who could perform a mix of country, pop and R&B, are slated to perform that night.
Perhaps the most notable exception to the country vibes: TLC is back.

Saturday is for the millennial alt fans.

Along with Fall Out Boy and Lavigne, Cage the Elephant and The Black Crowes will perform.

Sunday brings a mix of rock, rap and pop.

Dave Matthews and indie darling Vampire Weekend co-headline.
Sublime, the California ska/reggae rock band, and New York rap legends Public Enemy will also perform.
Other performers include singers Remi Wolf and Goth Babe.
