The M3 Rock Festival has announced the 2022 edition for May 6-8th at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. The 13th edition of the internationally renown festival features the M3 debut of ‘80s rock legends Blue Öyster Cult.
M3 Rock Festival’s Official M3 Kix-Off Party on Friday, May 6th features hometown heroes Kix with special guests Doro and Lizzy Borden, and a special VIP-only performance from Count’s 77. The full blown 2022 M3 Rock Festival begins Saturday, May 7th and includes multiplatinum-selling internationally known ‘80s artists Tom Keifer of Cinderella, Extreme, Blue Öyster Cult, Stephen Pearcy, Tony Harnell (Voice of TNT), Heaven’s Edge, Vain, and more.
Sunday, May 8th features Tesla, Skid Row, Stryper, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zebra, Quireboys, Leatherwolf, and Burning Witches.
Each year, VIP and Pavilion seats sell out quickly. Three-day and VIP packages go on sale Friday, Dec. 17th at 10am EST through ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased at Merriweather Post Pavilion, 9:30 Club, The Anthem and Lincoln Theatre during normal box office hours. If available, single-day tickets will go on sale in the coming months via Ticketmaster.
Over the past decade, M3 has become more than a festival – it’s an ‘80s arena rock experience. Drawing diehard fans from six continents, 20 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.
