· Justin Pelham · Features
Mark your calendar, Michigan. The organizers of Michigan Metal Fest have listed dates for the ninth edition of the festival, and tickets are already on sale. We do not run this festival, so this is a quick guide based on what the organizer has published. For anything that matters, check the official page before you buy.
The basics
- When: Friday, Aug. 20, and Saturday, Aug. 21, 2027.
- Where: The Leila Arboretum, 928 W Michigan Ave, Battle Creek, MI 49037.
- Gates: Friday opens at 3 PM. Saturday opens at 11 AM.
- Presented by: Next Level Entertainment, Ardent Entertainment and q106.
- Ages: All ages. Anyone under 18 needs to come with an adult.
The organizer lists two stages with no overlapping sets on Saturday, which means you should not have to choose between bands. Food and craft vendors are also part of the plan.
Tickets and prices
Prices come from the organizer's ticket page and include 6% sales tax. They can change, so treat this as a snapshot.

- Two-day festival pass: $95.40
- Early-bird offer: a Saturday general admission ticket plus a limited-edition "Death Wish" t-shirt for $68.90, which includes shipping and tax. The offer is listed as running through Nov. 16, while supplies last.
The organizer also lists VIP packages and parking passes. See the official page for those details.
What we do not know yet
The lineup has not been announced. The ticket page does not name any bands, and we will not guess. When the organizer shares a lineup, we plan to cover it, including which Michigan bands are on the bill.
Why it matters
Michigan Metal Fest is a chance to see many bands in one weekend, in a park setting in Battle Creek. For fans, it is also a good excuse to learn more about the local scene before the weekend arrives. We will be watching for news and sharing what we can confirm.
