NEWS
For two days in May, you get to indulge your glam and metal fantasies at the M3 Rock Festival taking place at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., on May 11-12.
The M3 Kix-Off Party on Friday night pairs Kix with Night Ranger as the headliners, but they are joined by special guests Enuff Z’Nuff, In The Pink and Let There Be Rock. Saturday’s festivities include a whole roster of bands on two non-overlapping stages for maximum viewing enjoyment. Dokken, Lynch Mob, Stryper, Quiet Riot, Warrant and Skid Row are just a few of the names who’ll be there. Ratt and Queensryche share the spotlight as co-headliners for Day 2.
Due to circumstances beyond festival organizers’ control, Cinderella has had to pull out of the show due to the illness of their lead guitarist, Jeff LaBar. Although they’ll be missed, L.A. Guns and Great White have fortunately been added to the bill to fill in.
Another change this year, albeit planned, is the M3 All-Star Jam, where fans can expect to see many of their favorite artists come together onstage to jam out old-school style and in epic fashion. It promises to be a highlight you won’t want to miss!

There are rumors swirling already about who will be on the bill for the 2nd annual appearance of the M3 Rock Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
Although no event date has been announced yet for 2010, there has been some insider chatter that The Scorpions will be the headlining act, with the M3 show the first gig for their U.S. summer tour. Other groups rumored to be appearing include Tesla and Sebastian Bach.
The biggest surprise on the bill comes from an unlikely candidate - Emerson Lake and Palmer! The word on the street is that ELP may also be included on the artist roster to help bring some diversity, and a new and different audience segment, to the event.
Stay tuned! More news may leak soon to confirm, deny or update these speculations.
