Year after year, we say the same thing: “This was the best MMRBQ ever!” And every time, it’s true. WMMR’s annual party keeps raising the bar, and you, Philly, turned out for an epic closer of a legendary concert season at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

This year’s festival lineup rocked the main stage on Saturday, September 21st starting at 1pm in “Camdedelphia”. The bands included:

• The Offspring
• Halestorm
• Nothing More
• The Warning
• P.O.D.
• Silvertide
• Sleep Theory
• Jersey Calling

Lots of Philly Love

Philadelphia was well represented in this year’s lineup. Jersey Calling, this year’s Local Shots opener, kicked off the day as ambassadors from the Garden State. Silvertide blew us away with their first area performance in over a decade. Hometown heroes Halestorm showed us why we keep coming back for more, with a career-spanning set that included a drum circle, a couple covers and even round of shots (cheers!). Lzzy Hale and the boys showed WMMR and the Philly crowd lots of love between songs, shouting out the fans who’ve been with them since their early days gigging on South Street.

The Preston and Steve Side Stage

The Preston and Steve side stage gave our insanely talented listeners a chance to say they shared a festival lineup with some of their favorite bands. Backed by Musician Impossible, we were wowed by their live karaoke renditions of Kiss, Alice in Chains, Queen and more. Jacky Bam Bam kept the rock spinning live between sets. PrestonandSteve.com will have more of the action posted there.
