Armstrong Metalfest (AOA) was started in the summer of 2009, inspired by the summer outdoor metalfest circuit in Europe. Just like anything else, AOA started out small, on a rural farm just outside of Armstrong, British Columbia. The first year, with no advertising, drew 300 people out to see 11 Okanagan metal bands rip up the stage (made of a pair of flatdeck trailers).
The metal communities spread across British Columbia are all strong in their own right, but AOA brings them all together. And not just British Columbia, but also, Alberta, the rest of Canada, then all of North America. The metal community wants too show the world that not only is metal far from dead, but it is too be respected! it is our hope, that AOA will one day be the Wacken of North America, bringing people from all over the world, from all walks of life, into one community, one unified society, one family.
