Armstrong Metalfest reveals the set times for their 2017 line up being held on July 14 and 15 at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong, B.C.

This year’s headliners include Boston’s tech death/thrash titans Revocation, Vancouver’s reggae-metal fusion Ninjaspy, Canadian ’80s thrash legends Aggression and Vancouver Whammy Award Best Local Metal Artist winner Golers among many more from across the country.

Situated in the Okanagan Valley with the beautiful backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Armstrong Metalfest, now in its ninth year, is British Columbia’s largest gathering of metalheads from across Western Canada and beyond.

Festival co-founder Jesse Valstar said: “The team members of West Metal Entertainment poured their sweat and blood into making this year’s lineup for Armstrong Metalfest the best year yet. A large portion of this year’s line up consists of bands who will be releasing albums in 2017. The fact that so many bands in Canada are able to write and record quality material is a real testament to the thriving metal scene we have. The band submission process is a grueling gauntlet of awesomeness, but personally I love every second I dedicate to the brilliant artists of Canadian Metal.”

“I am especially excited to have Revocation on this year’s edition of Armstrong Metalfest,” Valstar said. “Their style is hella fitting for the festival and I know they will be well received! Also, their album Great Is Our Sin is fantastic front to back. I’ll be front row center screaming my heart out for sure.”

Weekend pass available for $120 CAD regular pre-sale with camping included in ticket price. Weekend of festival, the weekend pass will be $160 CAD at the festival gate. Day pass will be available at the festival gate only for $70 CAD. Camping is an additional $20 CAD for day pass per night.
