The dates and locations for the 2019 battles have been announced, which you can check out down below (with a few cities still waiting for dates). As you may have heard, the competition is adding St. John's and Halifax to its list of participating cities, and to switch things up a bit, the national finals will be held in Calgary this year. One band to rule them all! The band chosen to represent Canada will have the opportunity to share the festival with bands like Sabaton, Parkway Drive, Rose Tattoo, Demons & Wizards, Within Temptation, Powerwolf, Airbourne, Meshuggah and many others.

Wacken Metal Battle Canada organizer JJ Tartaglia comments on the 2019 battles:
“I think these new changes for 2019 will be a big help in keeping Metal Battle Canada exciting for both the bands and the audience. The idea of moving around the national final has been tossed around for a while now, so holding the finals in Calgary this year will be a refreshing twist on the structure. And the East Coast! As a Maritimer myself, I couldn’t be happier with the addition of Halifax and St. John’s, now making these events truly coast to coast.”
