MMRBQ 2025 Side Stage HERO (1)

We put out a call for MMRBQ Side Stage Karaoke Contestants, and again, were we blown away by the feedback. If you have not checked out all of the contestants, then you are missing out. All 50+ of them ROCK!

Now it's time for the impossible challenge of narrowing down the field to ten. If it was up to us, we would have had everyone perform, but time constraints don't allow that! We appreciate each and every person who entered and everyone who cast a vote!

Each one of the ten winners will sing on The Preston & Steve Side Stage with SideArm our official live-karaoke band. They will also receive a 4-pack of MMRBQ tickets.

Return to MMRBQ HQ

We hope that everyone attending the MMRBQ will stop by the The Preston & Steve Side Stage from 1:15pm and 4:00pm, between main stage sets. The official times will be announced later this week.

If you don't have tickets yet, you can grab them now at Ticketmaster.com. Mammoth W.V.H., and Dorothy, Dead Poet Society, Octane, Return to Dust, MMR’s Local Shots Artist: Fat Mezz, will be rocking the main stage that day with Three Days Grace and Alice in Chains and rounding out the night.
