Metal Sludge — The dreaded Covid pandemic has hit rock n’ roll yet again.

The M3 Music Festival has just announced that Extreme is pulling out of the yearly event due to multiple members of the band and crew having Covid.

Extreme is listed as the main support to Tom Keifer for Saturday’s show on May 7th 2022.

“Due to multiple positive Covid results within the Extreme band and crew, they will unfortunately have to cancel their appearance at the M3 Rock Festival on Saturday. The band sincerely apologizes.

This was the bands first show back since the shutdown so they are equally as bummed. Extreme and their management put the health and safety of their crew and fans first and under the circumstances, they were left with no choice. They promise to come and see you soon. Hopefully at M3 2023.”
