M3 Rock Festival Announces July 4th Weekend Date
Monday, April 26, 2021 at 03:38PM
M3 Rock Festival will happen this year - over Independence Day weekend, Friday, July 2 - Sunday, July 4 at Merriweather Post Pavilion near Baltimore in Maryland. Lineup is below. This is a hard weekend - if folks are comfortable traveling, they likely already have plans and things like hotel rooms and flights are extra expensive because of the holiday. It is also usually crazy hot on July 4th weekend in America, too. The lineup has shifted from what was originally announced. It looks like Tesla is no longer part of the bill.
Tickets are still available.

All those times that I spent in some spoiled supervisor's office explaining what I just did...after they sent me out there.
And bagging on him for doing something different on a solo album seems like an odd diss.So you don't like his solo album; ergo, I don't like his stuff with 'Ryche. Hmm? Care to speak on Crimson Glory? Just want a fuller picture. And, by the way, I still like Tate . . . with huge qualifications. He was a powerful singer. He is still a great front man. He has an ego larger than his vineyard. He has improved in recent years. But, well, we move on (and I hasten to add, it sounds as if he caused the 'moving on' thing to happen, even if it also sounds as if the rest of the band was cashing checks after DeGarmo bounced and before Rockenfield disappeared).
The band was a circus. Seems to have settled into a groove. I give them credit for that, even if I don't like their newer songs . . . but enjoy their performance of the classics. By the way: what does DR99 reference? Just curious.
I'd love to see a show like this. But I doubt this is my year. So when will the BBG! 'Gathering of the Tribe" event happen?!?!2022? 2023? What must we do to make this happen? My hunch? Perhaps a specific engagement in Vegas. What that is, I have no idea. But I am still hoping!
i like it. @Him here's a song I really like from their previous album called "True Colors"

I'm sooo wanting to do a"gathering of the tribe" is that a thing? and Vegeshh would be awesome!
Yes, quite aware of Sweet Oblivion. And I think you are right, as they do nod to 'Ryche insofar as Tate's voice is such a recognizable one. I think the crucial thing is that others are helping to make the magic happen. Tate, left to his own devices, does not seem to have that 'spark' that is necessary. And SO certainly fits where his voice is these days (and his voice, overall, has greatly improved in the last year or so).
Is the Gathering of the BBG! Tribe a thing? It is, at least in my mind. I think it would be wonderful. And I can't think of a better (or worse, depending on how you view things) place than Vegas. Me? Personally? I can't stand The Strip anymore. In news that will surprise no one, I enjoy Fremont St. It is a carnival of stupid and a free view of life in the rear view. I certainly head to The Strip for shows and dinners. But I prefer to get as far away as possible once those things are done. And I would go anywhere in Vegas if a group of us were willing to pull that all together.
I've never been downtown always stayed at the hard rock (of course) hahha whats Freemont street like?
Fremont St. itself is, and I mean this with all due respect, as if Walmart exploded and people decided to stick around and see what would happen. Street performers, three stages (on the weekends, playing different genres of music). The garish awning with its light show (haven't seen the new version unveiled since I last visited). Cheap (in both good and horrid ways) drinks and eats. Some of the legacy casinos that just eke out their existence under the neon-canopy. But also some real treats. Atomic Liquors is close by, the 'oldest freestanding bar in Vegas', where people once watched nuke tests on the roof-top deck! The Neon Museum is also close, with many of the signs of old Vegas in various states of repair and disrepair.
I just don't 'fit' with The Strip these days. I want to have fun and feel like I can put my normal life on the side for a bit. The Strip feels like a claustrophobic cacophony of sadness, over-priced and over-visited. Like I said, for shows and for some good food, The Strip is the place. But I can't wait to get out of there afterwards. Let me put it this way: Fremont Street is like Reno, if Reno was inviting, enjoyable, and not sad and scary (and I say that as a person whose last set of concerts were in Reno . . . and still find it fun in an odd way; and certainly better than the cluster that is Lake Tahoe . . . RIP Lakeside Inn and Casino!).
