Reminder This Week - June 26-27 - DECIMATE METALFEST (Millet, AB) 2026 w/ RIOT CITY, THE CONVALESCENCE, SQUIDHAMMER, FAMOUS STRANGERS, and more!

Western Canada’s underground metal community will once again come together this summer as Decimate Metalfest returns to the Millet Agriplex Arena on June 26 and 27, 2026, in Millet, AB. What began as a grassroots gathering of heavy music fans has grown into a weekend-long celebration where heavy music, independent arts, and community come together in rural Alberta, welcoming fans, artists, and families of all ages.

This year's DMF lineup features RIOT CITY, THE CONVALESCENCE, SQUIDHAMMER, FAMOUS STRANGERS, and more with a diverse roster of local and regional performers. Overall, 26 performing acts will take the stage over the two days, including touring artists, Canadian metal bands, youth performers, a featured DJ, and specialty entertainers.

Friday evening launches the festival with a powerful night of heavy music, with The Convalescence and Squidhammer co-headlining the night. Saturday expands into a full-day festival experience featuring Riot City headlining alongside up-and-coming bands from Western Canada, youth artists, live performers, and interactive entertainment. The second day also includes a performance by Kill the Eclipse, the “Fundraiser Band,” which is a rotating act selected from bands that participated in DMF's fundraising events throughout the year, highlighting the festival’s community-driven spirit. With top-notch production, high-quality sound, professional staging, and access to convenient local amenities in Millet, AB, the festival ensures an unforgettable experience for fans and families.

All performances take place at the Millet Agriplex Arena, with festival activities continuing throughout the weekend, including camping, breakfast events, interactive entertainment, and vendor booths by independent artists.
