A huge musical festival is set to happen in the Town of Millet this summer.

Decimate Metalfest will take place at the Millet Agriplex Arena on June 7 and 8, the organizers said in a media release.

The event showcases the best in extreme metal, featuring a mix of established icons, rising stars, and underground favourites, according to the release.

Headlining this year’s festival are Narcotic Wasteland and The Art of Deception, bringing their signature sound and energy to the stage.

“At Decimate Metalfest, we don’t just see attendees – we see members of the metal family. This festival is a homecoming for fans who find solace, support, and strength within the tight-knit community that defines the metal scene,” said Sloan Voxx, an organizer of the event.

“Whether you’re headbanging in the pit or sharing a beer with newfound friends, you’re part of something bigger than yourself – you’re part of the metal family,” Voxx added.

Beyond the music, the festival offers a variety of activities designed to enhance the overall experience.

Attendees can explore artist merchandise booths, indulge in delicious food and beverages from local vendors, and immerse themselves in the festival’s atmosphere.

“We’re thrilled to bring Decimate Metalfest back for another year of epic performances, unforgettable memories, and the unparalleled sense of camaraderie that defines our festival,” said Voxx.

“More than just a music event, Decimate Metalfest is a celebration of the metal community and the enduring spirit of music that unites us all.”

Additionally, Decimate will be holding both youth and adult air guitar contests and will be hosting their first annual pancake breakfast on Saturday morning.
