Decimate Metalfest 2026 - June 26 & 27

Submissions Are OPEN for DMF 2027!

The gates are open — and we want YOU on that stage. Whether you're a band, solo artist, DJ, drag performer, burlesque dancer, comedian, magician, or something we haven't even dreamed of yet… this is your shot.

Decimate is all-ages, so youth acts are absolutely encouraged. We're primarily a metal festival, but we love a little variety — punk, hard rock, and unexpected energy all belong here.

Deadline is October 15th, 2026. Don't wait until the last riff!
