Maryland Deathfest (often abbreviated to MDF) is an American extreme music festival held in or near Baltimore, Maryland during Memorial Day weekend each year. It is the biggest of its kind in North America.
MDF is the idea of two extreme metal fans named Ryan and Evan. During the 14 years of festival history, MDF has featured over 500 bands from over 30 countries, many of which make their US debut at the festival. The festival is promoted with the slogan: "America's biggest metal party of the year."
The first installment of Maryland Deathfest was held from Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25 at the Thunderdome.
