M3F Fest in Phoenix: A Celebration of Music, Art, and Charity in 2025
There’s nothing quite like the combination of exceptional music, delicious food, and a noble cause—especially when it involves supporting local charities. The M3F Fest is set to offer just that during its 22nd edition, taking place at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix on March 7-8.
Recognized as one of the premier non-profit festivals in the U.S., M3F is dedicated to continuing its mission of giving back in 2025. The festival proudly donates 100% of its proceeds to more than 40 Arizona charities, contributing over $2.75 million since 2022 and exceeding $6 million since its inception in 2004.
In addition to the festival, M3F has scheduled several pre-event charity activities across the Phoenix area.
The first event is on January 24 at Walter Studios, featuring a DJ contest where local DJs will compete for a chance to perform at M3F. Following that, a battle of the bands will occur on January 30 at Valley Bar, offering local bands the opportunity to showcase their talent at the festival.
On February 7, M3F will host a stage with live performances at First Friday on Roosevelt Row. The pre-event festivities will conclude with another battle of the bands at Crescent Ballroom on February 8.
As for the festival’s music lineup, M3F is packed with diverse talent spanning multiple genres. March 7 will feature headliner LCD Soundsystem, along with acts like Alvvays, LP Giobbi, Summer Salt, and a DJ set from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. On March 8, the French electronic duo Justice will headline, joined by artists like Sylvan Esso, Frost Children, Girl Talk, and Mindchatter.
