About Us

Decimate Metalfest is more than just a music festival. It is a family forged in fire, sweat, and thunderous riffs. Held every June at the Millet Agriplex Arena in Millet, Alberta, Canada, Decimate has grown from a grassroots vision into one of Western Canada's most beloved metal and heavy music gatherings.

Owned and operated by women at its core, Decimate is built by a team that reflects a wide range of ages, cultures, and experiences. We are united by a passion for music and a commitment to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for everyone.

Decimate Metalfest exists to celebrate the diversity, power, and soul of metal and heavy music in all its forms. From blistering headline sets to the fearless energy of youth bands making their first mark, from belly-shaking breakdowns to boundary-pushing performances, we proudly showcase a wide range of artists because every voice in our scene deserves to be heard.

But we are not just about the music. We are a community, a safe and supportive, all-ages space where fans of every background and identity can come together and feel at home. Whether you are a die-hard metalhead or a curious newcomer, you will find camaraderie in the pit, smiles around the campfire, and lifelong friends in the crowd.

Inclusivity and unity are at our core. We are proudly partnered with sponsors and organizations who share our vision and values, and we are committed to making Decimate a place where families, youth bands, underground artists, drag performers, artisans, and fans alike can experience the metal and heavy music family together.

Here, every chord struck and every voice raised builds more than music. It builds connection, belonging, and unforgettable memories. This is our home. This is our tribe. This is Decimate Metalfest. You are always welcome here.

Decimate Metalfest is held annually in June at the Millet Agriplex Arena in Millet, Alberta, Canada. The 2026 main event will be on June 26th & 27th.

We pride ourselves on being an all-ages metal festival where ALL walks of life are welcome!
