‘Decimate MetalFest 2020’ Cancelled

Written by on April 2, 2020

Due to the global COVID 19 situation and the uncertainty of events and public gatherings, Decimate MetalFest announces they will be cancelling their 2020 edition. 

The festival was to be held on June 12-14 to Millet, AB at the Millet Agriplex (5400 45th Avenue) with camping available at the Millet Lions Memorial Campground. Millet, AB is 60kms south of Edmonton and 250kms north of Calgary.

Festival organizer Sloan Voxx issued the following statement “While sitting in limbo through the mess that is our World right now, I was striving to do everything I could to keep the Fest going! But after sitting down, a lot of contemplation and a long hard look at what is happening around us, with the heaviest of hearts, I feel that it is in our best interest, and everyone’s safety to cancel this year’s Festival.

There are an array of reasons why we need to make this tough decision, and I sincerely apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience, but our top priority is keeping you all safe. As safety is our primary concern and as the situation worsens, the last thing we want is to be responsible for bringing multiple small groups of people together (regardless of the sanitary precautions we have planned out) and put you in jeopardy of becoming ill, furthermore, to put your families in jeopardy of becoming ill, as a result of you attending the Fest. We don’t want to be part of the problem, we want to be part of the solution.

At this point, we have to ask ourselves: “Is it worth it?”. There is so much at stake here both directly and indirectly. As much as I love this Festival, its crew, its bands, fans and everything it represents, and as much as I want to fight tooth and nail to make this happen, the answer is “No.”. I don’t think it’s worth it. Potentially endangering even one person is not worth it.’

We have a hold on the Millet Agriplex for the weekend of June 11th, 12th, and 13th, 2021, so mark your calendars, because we’re coming back with a vengeance next year.”
