M3 Rock Festival is skidding into its 16th edition with another jam-packed weekend of internationally-renowned hard rock and heavy metal on May 2, May 3, and May 4. Sunday, May 4 will feature the long-awaited reunion of Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini performing Ratt classics. And now, two additional reunion shows have been announced:
April
5 – Mohegan Sun – Uncasville, CT (with Vixen)
July
26 – Rock The Dam 8 – Beaver Dam, KY (with Slaughter, Vixen, L.A. Guns, Steelheart)
Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini revealed the full band lineup for their upcoming M3 reunion and expressed their desire to write new music and play additional shows in a recent Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk interview, telling Trunk that it was the first time they’d spoken to each other since confirming the reunion. Pearcy and DeMartini will headline the third and final night of M3 on May 4, following headlining performances from Sebastian Bach and David Lee Roth. It will mark their first show together since 2018. They will be backed by former Ratt / Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo, former Ratt / Rough Cutt bassist Matt Thorr, and ex-Slaughter drummer Blas Elias. Thorr and Elias are both members of Pearcy’s current solo band.
“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!”
M3 Rock Festival 2025 kicks off Friday, May 2 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 3 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 4 with the long-awaited reunion of Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini, Ace Frehley, Warrant, Great White, Lita Ford, Vixen, Spread Eagle, and Soundcheck Rock.
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.
