Dear Friends and Supporters of MACROCK-
We’re heartbroken to announce that this year’s MACROCK is cancelled. We’ve held out hope for as long as we could (and maybe longer than we should have) that the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic would improve in time for MACROCK to still safely happen in some form. We’ve looked at every option we could think of, but unfortunately there is not a way of making it happen this year.
While we are disappointed about MACROCK being cancelled, we have much greater problems facing our world right now and each of us looks forward to refocusing our energy on helping our communities move forward from the effects of this pandemic. While we can’t put on MACROCK this year, this will not break MACROCK and we look forward to being back as soon as possible. In the meantime, look out for your neighbors. People are gonna need help out there. DIY.
Love,
the 2020 MACROCK Committee

Dear MACROCKers!
We know many of you are concerned about COVID-19 (Coronavirus), and we are too. The safety of our staff, volunteers and all who attend our festival is important to us. We will look to the CDC for guidance, abide by local and federal regulations should they arise, and leverage all resources available to us to protect our community. As we join each of you in closely monitoring the situation in the coming weeks, we will keep you informed of any changes to the festival. MACROCK is still three weeks away, and a lot may change in that time, so it is too soon for us to make any significant decisions yet.
Thanks!

MACROCK XXIII is almost upon us! As we prepare for this years festival, we need your help.
Volunteer opportunities range from venue head, venue volunteering, serving up a dish at the band banquet, and more. Join us as we discuss the details of what these positions entail.
Volunteering for MACROCK is a great way to meet new friends, interact with bands from all over, and also receive a discounted ticket to the festival. Not to mention you will receive a sweet tee shirt.
The Volunteer Training meeting will take place March 3rd 2020. More information can be found on the facebook event.
Also, we’re stoked to announce GENOCIDE PACT as co-headliner of our Metal Showcase on April 4, 2020 at the Golden Pony. Relentless death metal from the lawless realm of Washington, DC. Politically charged and rooted in hardcore punk. Genocide Pact joins Black Tusk in headlining this brutally raging show.
