Here's a list of things you need to know before MMRBQ at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Saturday, September 21, 2024.

Getting To MMRBQ 2024

There are tons of options to choose from when heading to the venue.

For public transportation, you can choose form the Riverlink Ferry, PATCO, or NJTransit's RiverLINE. The Riverlink Ferry goes from Penn's Landing to the Camden Waterfront. PATCO has stations located in Center City at 8th and Market, 10th and Locust, 12th and Locust, and 16th and Locust. There are stations all over South Jersey, as well. Exit at Broadway station and change underground to NJ Transit’s RiverLINE for a quick ride to the Camden Waterfront. Or, you can go to ground level and walk approximately 3 blocks. NJTransit's RiverLINE goes from Trenton to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion (the last stop on the line).

You can also choose to ride with friends and split the parking cost! The more people you pile into your car, the less each individual pays. Make sure you drive responsibly and choose a designated driver. Lots typically open 2 hours prior to show time.

Another option can be Uber, Lyft, or any other rideshare program. Drop-off points are located at the Wiggins Circle and the corner of Clinton and 2nd Streets.

MMRBQ Gate And Show Times

Gates open at 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 21.  General Admission part of the show starts at 1:00 pm. Concertgoers are invited to sit anywhere they like for the first four bands of the day. Between sets, The Preston & Steve Side Stage will be going off, then Intermission hits at 4:40 pm. That's when the venue will re-seat the pavilion for all ticket holders.  Great time to grab concessions before settling in for a great performance.

Another MMRBQ is in the books. A packed house at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the Camden Waterfront enjoyed an incredible day of Rock & Roll and a memorable celebration of the best rock station in Philadelphia.

The star-studded lineup rocked the main stage beginning at 1 pm on a beautiful day in Camadelphia. The list of performers included:

    MMRBQ Performances

    MMR’s Local Shots artist of the month Vixen77 got things started on the main stage inside the amphitheatre. They followed it up with an excellent interview with Brent Porche at the MMR broadcast tent on the Ben Franklin Bridge side of Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

    Tigercub, Finger Eleven, Dirty Honey, Ayron Jones, and Larkin Poe gave the crowd their money’s worth with a marathon of excellent performances throughout the afternoon.

    Billy Idol looked lively as ever when he led off with “Dancing With Myself” as the penultimate act, and MMRBQ headliner Shinedown didn’t disappoint with the peak of the night.

    The Preston & Steve Side Stage

    The return of the Preston & Steve side stage gave the loyal listeners of 93.3 WMMR a chance to get involved in MMRBQ 2023. Some excellent karaoke fired up the crowd at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

    Victoria sang a head-banging rendition “Zombie” by the Cranberries that would’ve made Dolores O'Riordan proud. L.J. sang “The Rooster” by Alice in Chains with authority that you certainly won’t see from many other 16-year-olds. "In The End," "Separate Ways," "Livin' On A Prayer," and "What's Up" were some other crowd favorites.
