Get out your Aqua Net because it will look and sound a lot like the '80s again this May in Columbia, Md.

M3 Rock Festival will return for a fourth year to Merriweather Post Pavilion on May 11 and 12, featuring 19 bands on two stages. The lineup includes Ratt, Cinderella, Stryper, Night Ranger, Kix, Enuff ZʼNuff, In the Pink, Let There Be Rock, Queensryche, Skid Row, Warrant, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Loudness, Lynch Mob, XYZ, Bang Tango, Drumwars, and Street Light Circus.

The festival promises no overlapping bands and screens to simulcast each stage so fans can stay in one spot and see every band or move between both stages at will.

Two-day ticket packages go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 10:00AM EST via Ticketfly. Single day tickets will go on sale at a later date.
