MarchFourth Tickets

MarchFourth Marching Band is an American musical and performance group based in Portland, Oregon. Costumed as a "psychedelic punk rock marching band circus troupe," M4’s show features electric bass, guitar, a 4-piece percussion corps, a 7-part horn section, dancers, acrobatics, stilt-walkers, a live visual artist, and a diverse musical repertoire. They combine their musical performance with a visual performance by stiltwalkers, acrobatics and hooping. The band has toured Germany, The Netherlands, France, British Columbia, China and the United States. MarchFourth performs mostly original works and occasional cover songs. The name derives from the date of the band's creation, March 4, 2003, Fat Tuesday. Within two months of their first show, the local press had already coined a new nickname for the act: M4.
