by Don’t just check out the Ogopogo lake monster in Okanagan Valley if you happen to be in the area this July, make sure to also get your metal on at the Armstrong Metalfest. The 2018 event celebrates the fest’s 10th year with more than 30 bands, featuring headliners Kataklysm, Sarah Longfield, Archspire, The Kennedy Veil, and, of course, many more. See the full line-up below.
The Armstrong Metalfest takes place July 13th and 14th at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong, BC.
Festival co-founder Jesse Valstar commented:
Everyone in West Metal Entertainment Society has put in the extra effort in making this year the best year we have ever had. Celebrating 10 years of this festival is a big deal! There were people who were quite skeptical about the event when it first originated, some even went as far as to say ‘it would never work’ and that ‘it won’t last.’ Now, 10 years later, the tone overall is very welcoming and has been for many years!
This year’s line-up brings together a good mix of bands that have never played and fan favorites. Kataklysm has been a band we have sought after over the years and have finally booked! It’s great timing also with them releasing a new album in June! This year’s Armstrong Metalfest is a milestone for us. We have successfully made it to a decade of metal in the Okanagan!
