The music festival known as Boston Calling has set the lineup for its spring edition. The three-day extravaganza, taking place May 27-29 at City Hall Plaza, will feature an eclectic array of acts, ranging from Australian pop sensation Sia to R&B singer Janelle Monáe. Other notables who've signed up to perform include English electronic duo Disclosure, Swedish singer Robyn, Aussie rocker Courtney Barnett, sister trio Haim, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, Miike Snow, Elle King, the National's Aaron Dessner with Irish singer Lisa Hannigan, ODESZA, and City and Colour. (The daily schedule will be announced later.) Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at www.bostoncalling.com. For the first 24 hours, three-day tickets will cost $170 for general admission and $349 for VIP. (Prices rise to $185 and $375 after that.) Boston Calling cofounder Brian A ppel of Crash Line Productions said a third, small stage will be added this time and there will be more food and drink options. "We think we have a well-rounded and exciting lineup," Appel said. "Sia hasn't played a full live show in five years and she's only announced to play Coachella right now, so this will be a rare opportunity to see her." Past Boston Calling lineups have included Beck, the Pixies, the Replacements, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Modest Mouse, Lucius, Run the Jewels, and Built to Spill, among others.
