Attention all Okanagan metalheads.

The annual Armstrong MetalFest is back for 2023, and the festival has announced its musical lineup for the two-day July 14-15 event.

Headlining the festival in Armstrong is the Los Angeles based band, Warbringer and San Francisco’s Fallujah. Returning for another year is Spokane, Washington’s Enterprise and LA’s The Zenith Passage. Edmonton’s Juno award-winning heavy metal champions Striker is also among the 28 bands set to rock the Hassen Arena stage.

“We are looking forward to seeing the streets of Armstrong busy with metalheads from all over”
