Renowned for unleashing one of Western Canada’s most punishing festival experiences, Loud As Hell Open Air Festival returns with another year of crushing performances, freak shows, burlesque acts, clinics, vendors, and naturally, dinosaurs.

Hosted in Drumheller, AB, from July 31 to August 2 at the Dinosaurs Down Stampede, the festival’s 14th edition erupts with the ferocity of rising Canadian and international metal acts.

The lineup features Fallujah, Allegaeon, Summoning The Lich, Gravemass, Crimson Shadows, Starkill, Super Monster Party, Mourning High, Edge Of Paradise, Hog Meets Frog, and many more.

Headlining the closing night of the festival are progressive death-metal titans Fallujah, who released their sixth studio album, Xenotaph, on June 13, 2025, through Nuclear Blast Records.

Allegaeon brings a razor-sharp fusion of technical mastery and soaring melody to the stage.

Their sound balances blistering precision with sweeping, emotionally charged songwriting.

With the return of original vocalist Ezra Haynes, the band has entered one of its strongest eras yet.

Other band highlights on this year’s lineup are Gravemass, channeling a bleak, ritual-driven strain of black metal that feels carved straight from the void.

Their sound fuses suffocating atmosphere with an unrelenting, punishing intensity.

The festival schedule includes a range of supporting acts and clinics throughout the three-day weekend.

This year’s passes grant full access to all headbanging, moshing, and metal mayhem that Loud As Hell Open Air offers.

Since launching in 2012, Loud As Hell Open Air Festival has cemented its place as a cornerstone of Canada’s extreme music scene, showcasing hundreds of bands from across the country and around the world.
