McDowell Mountain Music Festival boasts can’t-miss lineup

If you don’t have your tickets yet to the McDowell Mountain Music Festival, there is still time to secure your spot.

Organizers of the McDowell Mountain Music Festival (M3F) are ecstatic over the lineup for the 15th annual music Festival on March 2-4, 2018. And they should be. This year, M3F brings top headliners to the Arizona music scene such as Nick Murphy (FKA Chet Faker), Big Gigantic and Griz. The lineup features numerous national artists such as Lemaitre, Lucky Chops and The Marcus King Band. As a local, Arizona-based festival, M3F doesn’t forget its local talent – featuring 11 local bands across three stages – Including The Uncommon Good, Jane N’ The Jungle, Treasurefruit and others.

In an effort to remain true to its eclectic roots while evolving, M3F attracts music festivalgoers who are interested in a diverse variety of genres by bringing unexpected sound pairings to the Valley. “What really sets us apart from other music festivals, is our choice of artists year after year,” says President John Largay. “15 years has been a great experience for me and the people of Wespac – to be able to participate in community and culture at this level and watch it affect the resurgence of Downtown Phoenix, to the promotion of music, family spirit and charity – it has been an honor.” He reminds us that the overall Festival goal is “to continue to elevate Phoenix as a music and cultural destination. As well as, to generate revenue for our local economy, including local artists and small businesses, which are the oxygen that feeds the heart of the city.”
