British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley is gearing up for its most electrifying summer yet as Armstrong MetalFest celebrates 15 years of mountain moshing on July 11-12, 2025, at Hassen Arena in Armstrong, BC.

This year’s lineup is stacked with high-voltage performances, including heavy metal powerhouses Riot City and Glyph. Calgary’s speed demons Riot City are bringing their signature blend of high-energy, riff-driven heavy metal to the stage, delivering scorching anthems from their albums Electric Elite and Burn the Night. Seattle’s intergalactic mercenaries Glyph, featuring members from Gatekeeper, Greyhawk, and Hjelvik, will transport fans into their sci-fi metal universe, unleashing tracks from Honor, Power, Glory.

Headliners Born of Osiris, Havok, and The Browning lead a monstrous bill alongside international and Canadian acts like Virvum, Drowning in Blood, Stortregn, Gravemass, and more. Festival co-founder Jessie Valstar reflects, “I can’t believe we’ve hit 15 years. Time flies when you’re setting up a festival full of crushing riffs, soaring vocals, and downright nasty beats.”

Armstrong MetalFest offers more than just music—fans can experience camping, Yeti Games, Metal Madness Market, and Thrash Wrestling. Weekend passes include festival entry and free camping, with vehicle and RV passes available for purchase.
