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. A total of 40 acts will appear at the event.
The festival billing is shaping up as follows:
AGENT STEEL
AMON AMARTH
CRIPPER
DARK TRANQUILLITY
DEATH ANGEL
ENSIFERUM
EPICA
EXODUS
FEAR FACTORY
FINNTROLL
FORBIDDEN
GAMMA RAY
ICED EARTH
KORPIKLAANI
MARDUK
MOONSPELL
NEVERMORE
OBITUARY
RAGE
RAVEN
SABATON
SANCTUARY
SAXON
SODOM
SONATA ARCTICA
SWASHBUCKLE
TESTAMENT
TROUBLE
TÃR
ULI JON ROTH
UNLEASHED
WITCHBURNER
SAXON will play two unique shows. One night they will perform the "Wheels Of Steel" LP in its entirety and on a different night, for the second show, they will play "Strong Arm Of The Law" from start to finish.
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! 75% of the cabin rooms have already been sold.
fuuuuck, seeing iced earth and dark tranquillity while on a fucking boat in the ocean? oh yes. Too bad the tickets are so high

Seeing Iced Earth and Dark Tranquility while on a fucking boat in the ocean would suck, but seeing Testament, Exodus, and Obituary while on a fucking boat in the ocean would rule!

I don't think they would still be announcing bands at this point if tickets were not selling.

Bah, same marketing ploy infomercials use to offload an entire warehouse full of crap. But you do make a good point. With a few months left they'd have scratched this cruise if they hadn't already turned a profit.

Do the bands stay on the boat as well or do they just show up on their own transporter boat and then leave after their set? I just picture a separate boat ferrying them to the yacht filled with chicks and booze and drugs and chicks.

This seems like it should be called 70,000 tons of cock cruise. Cool lineup though.

I think it would be fun. I don't care if it is a sausage fest; I have a girlfriend so wouldn't be looking to score anyway. I think it would be cool to be around a bunch of metal dudes. I don't know any guys who like metal, I would like to meet some for once.

Everyone on the pbb listens to metal. Go to any metal show. 99% of these people are not anyone you want to hang out with.

Usually whenever I go to shows I get a fairly large section of people that just listens as I verbally assault other metal heads poor fashion choices

apparently the ship did sell out and they plan on doing it again next year. i'm pissed that I didn't go but I honestly couldn't afford it at the time.

The US should use this ship to lead an armed invasion of the Middle East...preferably with Marduk playing Panzer Division from start to finish...Arab fuckers would shit themselves
Looks like a bitchin' time though, how much is this trip versus say a festival like Wacken or Hellfire?
