ARMSTRONG METALFEST is proud to reveal their first batch of bands to perform on this year’s 2018 line-up, which includes co-headliners ARCHSPIRE. Preparing for their milestone of a decade of metal in Canada’s Okanagan Valley, this year’s festivities are gearing up to be their biggest event to date with over 30 bands performing on July 13th and 14th at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong, BC.
Festival co-organizer Jesse Valstar comments:
“I am very excited for this year’s Armstrong Metalfest! Our tenth year going! I am pumped to have Archspire as our Friday night headliner, their latest album “Relentless Mutation” is a staple in my current listening rotation. Not to mention this year’s Juno nomination for Metal Album of The Year! The Western Canadian Metal Scene is beginning a serious ramp up, so much so that even the popular media has to pause and take notice!
As for the full line up, we will be releasing that soon. So please keep an ear to the ground and expect anything from zebras to warthogs.”
