Vancouver, B.C.’s top tier melodic and power metal festival, HYPERSPACE METALFEST, is getting themselves amped for round 7 after another year of absolutely stellar, high-octane performances. Located at The Cobalt on April 16th and 17th, and at the Rickshaw Theatre on April 18th, this festival has finally released their FULL lineup of 2026 performers – and it is PACKED!

SANCTUARY, EDGE OF PARADISE, ATAVISTIA, VOIDCHASER, OWLBEAR, ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGE, and MORE are waiting and ready to fill your ear-holes with GLORIOUS melodies!

“The full lineup for Hyperspace Metal Festival VII is here! Sanctuary will be performing a Canadian exclusive performance of Into The Mirror Black in its entirety! Atavistia will be headlining night 1, which will have a heavy emphasis on melodic death metal. Night two headliner Edge of Paradise will cap off a night of epic symphonic and melodic power metal! After this year, the festival will be going on indefinite hiatus, so if you’ve been wanting to make it to Hyperspace, this could be your last chance. Let’s rage together at the Rickshaw and the Cobalt one last time!” adds festival organizer Joey Hockin of Journeyman Productions.
