M3F is Back! Are You Going?
On March 7th & 8th, McDowell Mountain Music Festival will take over Steele Indian School Park with a whopping 30+ set lineup, multiple art installations by Phoenix-based artists, local food trucks curated by Phoenix Magazine, small business vendors, drinks (of course), and more. The non-profit festival donates 100% of the proceeds to local charities, which means you get to have fun and give back to your community at the same time.

Who’s gonna be there? These are the top 5 artists you should know before you go:
LCD Soundsystem will be headlining night one at the Vista Stage! They are the dance-punk + electronic rock band you can “Dance Yrself Clean” to. Prepare to groove.
Alvvays, the Canadian indie dream pop band whose bubblegum tunes will delight you. Molly Rankin‘s voice truly is dreamy, paired with the music’s summery sound.
Justice is a French electronic music duo, known for their vintage funk, disco, and new wave sound. Check out their collaboration song “Wake Me Up” with The Weeknd.
Sylvan Esso, aka “Pop music for feeling feelings.” They are an alt/indie pop duo with catchy songs like “Coffee” and “Hey Mami”. They’ll draw you in with a calm lo-fi feel and hit you with some heavy bass.
And my personal favorite – Ricky Montgomery! This is his first stop on the Tiny Tour (Not a Big Tour), and you may recognize his heartbreak song “Mr. Loverman”, which became a popular sound on TikTok. His music tells stories about his life with a melancholy, emo-tinged alt-pop sound.
