Festival is held annually in Columbia, MD
The M3 Rock Festival is celebrating 14 years in 2023. The internationally renowned festival of hard rock and heavy metal is ready to celebrate that school’s out for the summer with a full weekend of performances back on Merriweather Post Pavilion’s legendary main stage on May 6-7, 2023 in Columbia, Maryland.
This year’s M3 Rock Festival, kicks off on Saturday, May 6th with performances from Styx, Extreme, Winger, Slaughter, Lita Ford, Quiet Riot, local favs Child’s Play and more. Sunday, May 7th features Warrant, Great White, Loudness, Guns N Roses’ Steven Adler , Firehouse, Riley’s L.A. Guns, Vixen, and White Lion’s Mike Tramp, with everyone’s favorite hometown heroes Kix closing out the weekend.
Over the past 14 years, M3 has become more than a festival – it’s an ‘80s arena rock experience. Drawing diehard fans from six continents, 30 countries, and every state, M3 has evolved into an annual pilgrimage for those who grew up with ‘80s rock (a genre of music now referred to as the “new classic rock”) as well as for younger fans who embrace the fun and excitement of the glam metal era.
