May 10th and 11th marked the 4th annual M3 Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. People traveled from as far as Australia to relive the music of the decadent ’80s metal scene.
Boasting bands such as Ratt, Queensryche, Dokken, Great White, Warrant, Skid Row, Night Ranger, and Kix, M3 had something for everyone, from the hard rocking and guitar shredding classics to the slower, heartfelt bad boy ballads. Check out a sampling of some of the bands from the festival.
