For over two decades, M3F has been curating some of the most exclusive lineups in the game. In its second consecutive year at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix, Arizona, M3F 2025 featured headliners LCD Soundsystem and Justice, with a deep lineup of notable rising and established artists/bands.
100% of M3F’s revenues go to charity, focusing on community, education, arts, and environment. In 2024, the festival raised over $750,000, which included vital contributions to Phoenix Children’s Hospital (music therapy programs) and Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona (a new 40-home development). This year thus far, M3F has helped with St. Mary’s Food Bank (100,000 meals to local families) and Joy Bus (1000 meals to cancer patients and their families).
