They had a shorter wait than Magnus\u2013about three hours to go before the band Pond performed. They made their day longer by arriving two hours before the gates even opened, but they say the long day is worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing in the front row, you get pushed around a lot, but at the same time you get a really, really good spot,\u201d Amico said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYeah,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cSometimes the chaos just adds to the excitement almost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston Calling will be back next year from May 24 to 26, once again at the Harvard Athletic Complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>-Miranda Suarez<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment2087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment2087\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone single-post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wtbu\/files\/2018\/06\/unnamed-1024x708.jpg\" alt=\"A group plays hackey sack at Boston Calling on May 26, 2018.
