About this concert
M3 Rock Festival is skidding into its 16th edition with another jam-packed weekend of internationally-renowned hard rock and heavy metal on May 2nd, May 3rd, and May 4th, 2025. Tickets are on sale Friday, Jan. 31 at 12pm EST through ticketmaster.com.
M3 Rock Festival 2025 kicks off Friday, May 2nd with ground-shaking performances by Sebastian Bach and Snake Oil. “Can’t Get Enough”? Don’t worry, the fun’s just getting started.
The full festival experience expands Saturday, May 3rd with a rare headlining performance by Van Halen’s legendary frontman David Lee Roth alongside an afternoon packed with performances by a powerful lineup of other multiplatinum-selling rockstars including Accept, Winger, Slaughter, Steven Adler, Child’s Play, Red Voodoo, and more.
But that’s still not all – the festival continues Sunday, May 4th with the 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,” said Stephen Pearcy, RATT’s founding lead singer. “It’s about the bands 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!”
Sixteen has never sounded so sweet!
From the “Jump” M3 has always 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 as well as younger fans who embrace the fun and excitement of the glam metal era.
