FESTIVAL FEATURES

Tons of Bands!

Rocking the arena on both Friday and Saturday, you'll hear a versatile mix of death metal, thrash metal, industrial, hard rock, hardcore, metalcore, power metal, black metal, and good ol' rock 'n roll!

The 2025 lineup includes bands from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, San Francisco, and New York!

Arena Venue

The main activities take place indoors at the Millet Agriplex Arena.

We love seeing the space "metalified" with a big stage, lights, all of our epic performers, and YOU - the rest of the metal family banging their heads away!

Air Guitar Contests!

Did someone say "AIR GUITAR CONTESTS"?! We hold both adult and youth (DeciMini) contests with REAL GUITARS as the prizes!

These are so fun to see in action! Think you've got what it takes? Be sure to sign up at the event!

Camping Option!

If you're staying overnight, don't forget to reserve your campsite!

The Millet Lions Memorial Campground is "stumbling distance" to all the action!

Camping rates are not-for-profit and go towards maintaining the wonderful community of Millet.

• Tenting: $25/night
• Power 30 Amp: $35/night
• Power 50 Amp: $40/night

Food Trucks!

There will be trucks parked just outside of the arena to fuel your day, especially after burning all those calories in the pit!

Psst... we gave away food truck vouchers with the purchase of 2-day passes during a special promotion. Keep an eye on our socials for deals!

The Decimator Beer!

You will want to decimate this crushable lager, available exclusively at the festival!

We also serve other beer options - raise your glass to local legends, Leduc Brewing Company, who bring their exceptional brews to the fest!

Awesome Drink Menu!

Our diverse refreshment menu is designed to make sure everyone has a rocking good time. So, grab your friends, head to the bar at the player's box, and toast to an unforgettable metalfest experience!

Let's raise our drinks and our horns to a weekend of music, camaraderie, and unbeatable flavors!

Town of Millet

Millet is a close-knit community with all amenities included. Called a "bedroom" community, Millet is a pleasant, get-away-from-it-all kind of place.

Located about 40km south of Edmonton, its central Alberta location makes it ideal to take a road trip for an epic, fun-filled weekend!

Pancake Breakfast!

Unleash your appetite at our 2nd annual Pancake Breakfast brought to you in-part by Coyote Pancake Mix!

FREE with all 2-day passes or Saturday day passes as this occurs on Saturday morning to fuel your day!

Breakfast starts at approximately 9:30am.

Youth Bands!

Not only is our festival all-ages, but we make an effort to include at least a couple of youth bands every year to give them the opportunity of a lifetime.

Prepare to be blown away by the next generations of musicians!

Family-Friendly!

We pride ourselves on catering our festival to be family-family - not just by being an all-ages event, but by setting up an indoor kids area with games and coloring, and by hosting a special air guitar contest just for the DeciMinis!

There's also a splash park nearby for cooling off!

Local Vendors!

We love supporting local!

Prepare for a stunning onslaught of handcrafted statement pieces, arts, guitar vendors, and more!

Spooky Drag Brunch!

The festival incorporated drag for the first time in 2022, and brought it back in 2024.

On Saturday morning, we will be hosting a spooky drag brunch from 10:00am to 10:40am, fitting in with our 80's horror movie festival theme this year!

We will also have the queen of camp & comedy, Birthday Girl, as our Mistress of Ceremonies for Saturday as well.

All Are Welcome!

We welcome ALL ages and backgrounds and celebrate diversity by featuring a range of performers, including youth bands and drag artists, in a wheelchair-accessible venue. We have established a safe space with a zero-tolerance policy against hate, abuse, or discrimination.

Last year, we painted our poster with the pride flag to celebrate Pride Month in June!
