Midwest Metal Fest

08/31/2025

Holy crap guys..

Words cannot fully comprehend how we're feeling about this weekend, but we'll do our best.

This has been our most successful year for this fest! The turnouts both nights were great! All the bands brought their A games. People were having fun and moshing hard!

This was a massive undertaking for us with booking bigger names than we've worked with before and it was fantastic!

So we wanna thank everyone that came out and supported the Fort Wayne metal scene, supported all the bands, and supported us!! Without you this fest would be meaningless and we hope you come back again next year!!

We want to thank Piere's for letting us occupy their venue for two days and being very accommodating with us!

We wanna thank Holly Trowbridge for making the promo videos and helping with our social media posts!

We want to thank all the bands that traveled from states away to come to the land of Fort Wayne to absolutely destroy the stage!

We don't know how we're gonna top what we've done this year, but damn it we're gonna do our best!!

Till next year
--- From Chris Trowbridge , Justin Zacharias , and Cody Piercy

We'd like to announce a lil pre show performance on Saturday from The Obnoxious Boot.

And replacing Between The Killings is the young guns from Indianapolis Twice Mortal

08/23/2025

This is a bummer, but we're currently working on a replacement!!! Be back soon!?!?

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠️

We regret to inform everyone that Between The Killings will no longer be appearing at Midwest Metal Fest this coming weekend.

This was due to circumstances completely out of our control, and it kills us to have to step back from what was set to be a crushing show alongside so many killer bands.

We want to sincerely thank the fest organizers for having us on board and for their hard work in keeping underground metal alive. We also want to thank every single fan who was ready to throw down with us—your support never goes unnoticed.

We’ll make it up to you soon. Stay tuned for updates, and keep supporting Midwest Metal Fest and the stacked lineup they’ve got ready to tear it apart.
