Heavy Montreal Festival Announces 2014 Lineup Including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax

Canada’s premiere heavy metal and hard rock festival Heavy Montréal announced the August 2014 lineup for the event’s sixth installment. Presented by Molson Canadian, the festival has consistently expanded the variety of bands to appear at Parc Jean-Drapeau, this year featuring heavy metal legends Metallica, punk rockers The Offspring, Canadian rock band Three Days Grace, Celtic punk rock band Dropkick Murphys, thrash metal quartet Slayer and many more.

Metallica will play Heavy Montréal in their only North American show this summer. The performance will be an all-request show, with a setlist picked by the fans. Metal quintet Lamb of God will make up for canceling their set back at the 2012 festival. After crowd pleasing success last summer, Heavy Mania wrestlers will return this summer as well.

Since the first Heavy Montréal festival back in 2008, originally called Heavy MTL, Parc Jean-Drapeau has hosted over 200,000 fans to see groups such as Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Slipknot, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, KISS, Alice Cooper, and many more. With Metallica and Slayer co-headlining and a slew of veterans, cult-favorites, and local bands, this year will surely not disappoint.
