M3F Fest Shares Pre-Event Activations and Lineup by Day for Loaded 2025 Edition

Phoenix’s M3F Fest looks to bring another year of music, art, and magic to Phoenix, with 100% of the proceeds going to Arizona charities.

Few things in life are better than good music, good food, and a good cause — especially when the latter means donating to charity. M3F Fest will combine all of these during the 22nd edition of the multi-genre festival, which will be held at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix from March 7-8.

M3F has become one of the most celebrated non-profit festivals in the country, and they plan to keep the good cause and good times rolling in 2025. What makes the gathering special is that 100% of its proceeds go to over 40 charities in Arizona, with over $2.75 million being donated since 2022, and over $6 million being donated since the first edition in 2004.

M3F Fest has also announced a variety of pre-event charity activations around the Phoenix area.

The next will take place on January 24 at Walter Studios and will consist of a DJ contest where local DJs will compete for a chance to perform at M3F. On January 30, a battle of the bands will be hosted at Valley Bar, where local ensembles will also compete for an opportunity to perform at the festival.

Then, February 7 will see M3F host a stage with artist performances at First Friday on Roosevelt Row. A second battle of the bands will be hosted at Crescent Ballroom on February 8 to wrap up the pre-event festivities.

As far as the actual music part of the festival, M3F is absolutely stacked with talent spanning multiple genres from top to bottom. March 7 will be headlined by LCD Soundsystem with support from artists like Alvvays, LP Giobbi, Summer Salt, and a DJ set from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. French electronic duo Justice will headline March 8, and they will also be joined by artists like Sylvan Esso, Frost Children, Girl Talk, Mindchatter, and more.

Don’t miss out on your chance to dance for a good cause. Purchase your single-day or two-day tickets on the official M3F Fest website.
