Western Canada’s largest mountain mosh pit Armstrong MetalFest<\/strong> will be celebrating 15 years of bringing extreme metal music fans from across Canada and beyond to British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley with their forthcoming 2025 lineup being held on July 11th-12th in Armstrong at the Hassen Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 15th annual gathering of metalheads will once again witness two days of unforgettable moshing, headbanging, and camping. From iconic headliners to promising newcomers, the 2025 lineup is set to showcase the best of diverse metal genres, ensuring an electrifying experience for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bands interested in applying to perform at the 2025 festival can submit at the following link from October 1st to 15th: <\/strong>https:\/\/armstrongmetalfest.ca\/band-submissions\/<\/strong><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to band submissions opening for 2025, Armstrong MetalFest <\/strong>has been honoured with the Tourism and Hospitality Award at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Community Excellence Award Show this past September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 lineup hosted Los Angeles death metal masters ABYSMAL DAWN (July 12th)<\/strong> and Kansas City THE BROWNING (July 13th)<\/strong> who unleashed their unique eclectic blend of electronicore and deathcore. Also featured were dissonant and atmospheric Vancouver tech death metallers ATR\u00c6 BILIS<\/strong>, and Orlando’s two-fisted two steppin’ double-wide aural assault squad BODYBOX. <\/strong>Returning to the festival, were the Okanagan’s very favourite Black Metallers XUL<\/strong> (Vernon, BC) and Edmonton death metallers EYE OF HORUS<\/strong> along with first-time performances from Vancouver twin brother duo OPAL IN SKY<\/strong>, San Francisco’s outside-the-box prog metallers CYBORG OCTOPUS<\/strong>, and the tech death fury of Riverside, CA’s ARKAIK<\/strong> among many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2009 (minus pause years 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic), West Metal Entertainment <\/strong>and Armstrong Metalfest<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year hundreds of metal music fans 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival has seen such renowned headliners as Kataklysm, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Nekrogoblikon, Origin, Rivers of Nihil, Warbinger, Fallujah, Striker, and Beyond Creation as well as emerging artists from across North America. At the end of the revelry, the festival disappears without a trace, leaving the landscape as pristine as it has always been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Metal Entertainment<\/strong> is a non-profit society that not only puts on the Armstrong Metal Festival<\/strong> every year in Armstrong, B.C. but also 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
