Traduza\\ WHITESNAKE, TESLA, LITA FORD, MR. BIG, GREAT WHITE Confirmed For M3 ROCK FESTIVAL

WHITESNAKE, TESLA, LITA FORD, KIX, WARRANT and L.A. GUNS are among the confirmed bands for the M3 Rock Festival, set to take place May 13-14, 2011 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

In its third year, M3 Rock Festival had added a kick-off party and concert featuring full sets, since one day alone can't contain all this metal.

The official M3 "Kix-Off Party" will get things started Friday, May 13 at 7 p.m. The full-blown 2011 M3 Rock Festival begins Saturday, May 14 at noon.

Last year VIP and Pavilion seats sold out faster than you could flick your Bic, so headbangers hoping to get close enough to smell the sweat will want to be at their computers Thursday, February 3 at 10 a.m. EST for the insiders' pre-sale. Only members of M3 Rockers' Forum at www.m3rockfest.com will be given the pre-sale promo code.

Discounted two-day packages will go on sale to the general public Friday, February 4 at 10 a.m. EST. If there are any tickets remaining as of March 4, they will go on sale as single-day tickets at 10 a.m. EST through Ticketfly. Tickets can also be purchased at the Merriweather and 9:30 club box offices.

M3 Rock Festival will feature two music stages, the Freak Stage and a Festival Village.
