The event returns this spring to Columbia, Maryland
M3 Rock Festival is skidding into its 16th edition with another jam-packed weekend of internationally renowned hard rock and heavy metal from May 2-4 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
Sebastian Bach kicks off the three-day event with Snake Oil on Friday. David Lee Roth headlines Saturday with appearances by Accept, Winger, Slaughter, Steven Adler, Child’s Play, Red Voodoo, and more. The festival closes on Sunday with a long-awaited reunion of Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini performing Ratt, Ace Frehley, Warrant, Great White, Lita Ford, Vixen, Spread Eagle, and Soundcheck Rock.
“It’s only appropriate that the first show in years is at M3 2025,” Pearcy shares. “It’s about the band’s legacy. There was no question when the idea was brought up to me about doing something with Warren again. I know what we can do as a team, and that’s writing great songs and Kickin’ some ass onstage. You’re getting ALL the RATT hits and more – let the “Invasion Celebration” begin! I guess hell does freeze over. Never say never, right? Pearcy / De Martini back in the cellar, let’s go!”
Tickets are on sale Friday, January 31st at noon EST through Ticketmaster.
From the “Jump,” M3 has always been more than a festival – it’s a community, founded and fed by the ‘80s arena rock experience. M3 has evolved into an annual pilgrimage for diehard fans from six continents, 30 countries, and every state, bringing together those who grew up with the music in the ’80s and younger fans who embrace the fun and excitement of the glam metal era.
