Festival Features

Tons of Bands!

Rocking the arena on both Friday and Saturday, you'll hear a versatile mix of metal, rock, and punk genres.

The 2026 lineup includes American acts from Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, and New York, along with Canadian acts from BC, Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec!

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!

If you're staying overnight, tent camping is included with your ticket purchase!

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

• Tenting: INCLUDED with your ticket!
• Power 30 Amp: $35/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!

Support local food vendors and enjoy a variety of delicious options!

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 annual Pancake Breakfast brought to you in-part by Coyote Pancake Mix!

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

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!
