70000 TONS OF METAL Cruise

More bands have been confirmed for the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise, which is set to sail from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico on January 24, 2011 and return four days later.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

AMON AMARTH
TESTAMENT
DEATH ANGEL
EPICA
FINNTROLL
MOONSPELL
OBITUARY
RAVEN
SAXON
SODOM
SONATA ARCTICA
STRATOVARIUS
SWASHBUCKLE
TROUBLE
ULI JON ROTH
WITCHBURNER


24 more bands to be announced.

70000 Tons Of Metal will sail Monday, January 24, 2011 aboard the Royal Caribbean "Majesty of the Seas" from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico and will not return you to the real world for four days until Friday, January 28, 2011.

Make no mistake, 70000 Tons Of Metal is not your grandma's cruise. It's also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all-ship heavy metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? And since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass and you might even need a vacation from this vacation when all is said and done!

Ticket prices start at US$666 plus US$249 taxes and fees per person and include all on-board entertainment, all meals and non-alcoholic and non-carbonated drinks at the on-board restaurants and 24-hour room service!

Stay tuned for more band announcements and if you have not registered yet, hurry up! These are the last days of early registration! Early registration will give you the possibility to book cabins before they go on public on-sale and also saves you 10% off the cabin price. So hurry up and register now for free and with no obligation at http://www.70000tons.com for the trip of your lifetime!

Will the boat resemble the one Dennis Hopper rode on in Waterworld?

how cheap is that fucking poster?

Something make's me think that show will be 70'000 tons of cock.

Honestly, I think it's a really cool idea. Too bad there isn't a single band mentioned that I'd actually pay for.

I'd have to see the rest of the line-up before I could decide if this was something I'd go to or not.

Agreed with Izzy though, this seems like a cool idea.

I wouldn't want to be trapped on any boat with a bunch of drunk metal heads. The safety demonstration at the beginning of the cruise would be enough to make one want to jump overboard.

alestorm should play this show

hell yeah


if they get some good death, black or folk metal bands on this i'd seriously go. especially if they are bands that don't play the US often or at all.

cheaper than flying overseas to a euro festival.

fuck you all, it would be worth it just to see amon amarth play on a fucking boat

Anyway, Melloboat have been doing this for a couple of years already to be fair.

Wanna sink that boat

holy shit that looks very cool, I never heard of that before

Yeah man. I would have loved to have seen that Mats Morgan all star show with Thordendal. I found out recently that last years show was cancelled though. Not sure if they are planning another one this year.

I wonder how many heavy metal maniacs go overboard at these things

Oh Bren you wacky guy

drowning is no joke

Did you hear about that kid who went missing from a cruise ship a few years ago? He was last seen in shorts and a Drowning Pool t-shirt.
