Armstrong MetalFest
2024 Lineup Announced
July 12-13 – Armstrong, BC
The 14th annual gathering of metalheads will once again witness a pilgrimage of extreme metal music fans for two days of unforgettable moshing, headbanging, and camping. From iconic headliners to promising newcomers, the 2024 lineup is set to showcase the best of diverse metal genres, ensuring an electrifying experience for all. This year’s lineup will be headlined by Californian tech death giants Decrepit Birth and Kansas City The Browning, who will be unleashing their unique eclectic blend of electronicore and deathcore. Also featured on this year’s two-day festival, is the return of Okanagan Black Metallers XUL (Vernon, BC) and Edmonton death metallers EYE OF HORUS along with first-time performances from Vancouver twin brother duo OPAL IN SKY, San Francisco’s outside-the-box prog metallers CYBORG OCTOPUS, plus the tech death fury of Riverside, CA’s Arkaik among many more.
The 2023 edition of Armstrong MetalFest broke attendance records again with its eclectic earth-shaking lineup that featured 28 bands performing on the two-day festival that included headliners LA thrashers Warbringer, San Francisco tech-death giants Fallujah, festival alumni Spokane, WA’s Enterprise Earth, and Los Angeles’ The Zenith Passage, along with Denver’s H.P. Lovecraft extreme metallers Vale Of Pnath, and Edmonton’s Juno award-winning heavy metal champions Striker.
Since 2009, West Metal Entertainment and Armstrong Metalfest have not only fostered the talent of hundreds of local bands, but have imported well-known, international acts to the quiet, little Canadian town of Armstrong, British Columbia.
Each year hundreds of metalheads from Canada and the USA descend into the picturesque Okanagan Valley and under the blistering sun, they spend three days camping, taking in as much metal over two days, participating in wrestling events, scavenger hunts, and catching up with their metal family. At the end of the revelry, the festival disappears without a trace, leaving the landscape as pristine as it has always been.
West Metal Entertainment is a non-profit society that not only puts on the Armstrong Metal Festival every year in Armstrong, B.C., it gives bands opportunities to play at different venues throughout the region including all-ages shows, to encourage musical passion in kids as well as adults.
