M3F, a nonprofit festival that donates 100% of proceeds to charity, is returning to Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix, Arizona, this year with LCD Soundsystem and Justice headlining the event.

The festival takes place March 7-8 and boasts a lineup featuring more than 30 artists. The first day’s programming includes Alvvays, alice.km, BADBADNOTGOOD, Braxe + Falcon, Dev Lemons, Hippie Sabotage, LP Giobbi, Orions Belte, Pariah Pete, Ricky Montgomery, Slow Pulp, Summer Salt and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (DJ Set) before LCD Soundsystem closed out the night.

Justice will close out the festival following performances from Sylvan Esso, ALEXSUCKS, BAYNK, Beach Weather, Chloe Tang, Confidence Man, Doss, Eggy, Frost Children (DJ Set), Girl Talk, Goldwax Revival, Leisure, Luna Luna, Mindchatter, Monster Rally, The Strike and UPSAHL.

In addition to the two-day festival, organizers announced charity activations leading up to the main event. Mix 96.9 and MCF Fest joined forces to present an intimate acoustic show from Beach Weather at Four Peaks Brewing Co. in Tempe, Arizona. On Jan. 24, Walter Studios will host a contest for DJs, who will compete for a performing slot at M3F Festival.

Another competition taking place before the festival will be the Battle of the Bands, which is presented by M3F and charity partner We Make Noise. Local bands can visit Valley Bar on Jan. 30 to compete for an opportunity to perform at the festival. A second Battle of the Bands will take place at Crescent Ballroom on Feb. 8.

M3F will also be present at First Friday, a monthly event in downtown Phoenix at Roosevelt Row that highlights art shows and features vendors, music and food trucks, with artists taking the stage to perform for locals.

Since its inception in 2004, M3F has donated $6 million to charity. The festival, which will have its 22nd edition this year, has grown every year and has donated $2.75 million since 2022.
