Yeah, I too am going bat shit crazy with all this waiting.
Depressing.

Satyricon's lead singer aparantly got all pissy becsause their set in the theatre was cut short because they were behind.. or something like that I dunno. I doubt Satyr would have a pissy and not return just over that! I asked around. Some told me it was a VISA thing with Frost and some tell me it ...

A lot of people on the fbook 70 page are claiming that Aug 31st will be the first announcement. If so, what a drag. Accept were announced that day last year. Cruise is much earlier this time around, so naturally we all assume the bands/codes etc will come earlier. How lame. People are also saying we...

25 years ago (from 2020) would see Fear Factory's Demanufacture album unleashed upon the world. Saw them in 1993 and various other tours. But, a FF special set of 'Deman...' would be cool. http://fearfactory.com/wp-content/themes/fearfactory/images/fflogo.png imo. Didn't they do a 20th Anniversary ...

Speaking of Helloween......
I checked, only been on broad once!
2012 - I remember that one!

Let's see HELLOWEEN return this 2020 cruise please!

With all this annoying silence that is pissing everyone off, may as well throw in some wish list bands on here until the bands actually start coming along. https://www.metal-archives.com/images/3/5/4/0/3540440441_logo.png?0823 3 reasons I like Traveler. 1. It's the same name as the awesome track by...

Little bit of recent history. 141 days to go! 2019 cruise we knew 22 bands by this stage 2018 cruise we knew 21 bands by this stage 2017 cruise we knew 39(!!!) bands by this stage With the payment plans that need 4 months, 70k only has 2 weeks to get information out there before that goes out the w...

Current calculations using last year as a guide, if booking opened today: 8 days between Gold and Silver 14 days between Silver and Public 16 days between Public sales and the four payment cutoff Really starting to cut it fine, making me think more and more that we will deviate away from the Gold-t...

Obey your Master! Masters.....Hammer!

Weirdos from Czechia! Yes!
I would Czech them out onbroad!



Please!

Vuur!

This would be Vuury cool!
Please!



I have never seen Anneke live before!

I'm still in!
But my patience is also running thin.

This will be the most expensive cruise in 10 years!

Throwing a bit of personal history from 70k into the whole pricing and exchange rates issue. 2011 cruise, booked a double Junior Suite ($1,999 US Each). Up front discount of 5%, Taxes and fees were $249 each. So, $USD4,296.10 Exchange rate wasn't as high as it got, but when I booked (April 30, 2010...

Looking into everyone's posts regarding flight tickets, I'm honestly overwhelmed at the prices everyone is coming from. Being from LA, my total is at $367 (LAX-MIA $134 on Jan. 6, FLL-NYC $103 Jan. 11, NYC-LAX $129 Jan.14). The only thing I'm curious to see is how much are the cabins for this year?...

I dunno about you other sailors but all this waiting is depressing to me.
With all this ridiculous delay, does this not mean that UMC bookings office
would be working over time in a short period of time?

Maybe there's time to get a few more wish list bands in. Not all 60 bands are confirmed behind closed doors. Another, Frozen Crown https://nine-lives-entertainment.com/upload/artists/140/5bab991f366de.png Growing on me more and more by the day. LOVE those kids! REALLY hope they are on broad. Totall...

Can we at least have the cabin price list on the website already?

I wanna be able to plan the right cabin here: https://70000tons.com/soon/
I wanna budget asap.
I can't. Yet.
So annoying.
I've missed the last few cruises and I wanna plan as much as possible asap.

Tomorrow is 150 days from sailing!

We might get something!

Another, Frozen Crown



Growing on me more and more by the day.

I don't recall if I have already said this but, hope to see Frozen Crown on the 2020 boat



Fast growing on me, this band. I think they'll love to be among us fans and embrace the whole vibe.

I've only seen EPICA once!
They played Sydney some years ago.
So I would love to see them again on the boat.

I nearly jumped outta my chair and then read the 5 months post and....then...slowly sat down and felt the misery seep in again. Sigh......speaking of Sigh, let's get them onbroad please!? To be fair, I don't think Andy has ever posted a Days/Months countdown post unless it was in the megathread, so...

Because let's make gold survivors so mad, from waiting, they give up on going this cruise, to allow new comers in. A new strategy that would not Epic...a, at all.
My jokes suck! I'm going insane!
This is madness!

I feel an announcement coming along soon based on Epica's North American "Tour" announcement today and basically confirming that they are booked for next year. 70K would have asked them to release those dates (with the cruise dates clearly in between the LA and NY shows) as late as possible. Probab...

A new wish: Spiritual Beggars I guess there aren't too many others wishing so far, but maybe we can get a special set from them. http://www.spiritualbeggars.com/images/sb_logo.png They are playing shows again, Sweden and Japan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNy5aNLHOcc&feature=youtu.be Check them ...

In all massive bouts of honesty, I am surprised there's not more wishes for Grand Magus http://hamburgrecords.com/grandmagus/media/catalog/product/cache/34/small_image/400x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/g/m/gm_swordsongs_flag_1.png I've never seen them live. They've never been on broad. Can we ge...

On this date last year, I could get a flight Brisbane - Houston - Orlando - Denver - Brisbane, around the dates for 70K 2019, for $AUD1,591 via Kayak. Trying the same thing around 70k's 2020 dates - more than TWICE that :( I hear you loud and clear. Right now, checking Kayak, flights from Sydney to...

I think Dallas is on the mark.
Aug 7 = 5 months from sailing.

It will be a ' 5 months we set sail - are you ready?' post.
Aug 8 = the first band (s)



Dismember being the first act to announce!

We continue to take that abuse! Wacken is on right now (this weekend) and they already posted 2020's main headliners! Maryland Death Fest do much the same thing. We gotta wait and wait and wait. For what? Let's roll out the red carpet of bands already. 10 years to get this right. August 7th, I will ...

The last thing I wanna do is make the 4th and final installment payment for the cabin whilst I'm already over there in the US. How bloody frustrating. I thought for sure we'd have bands last weekend at the Heavy MTL. So why go and set up hot tubs and not have a single band to celebrate? Just a promo...

I'm sick and tired of all this waiting.

What the hell is taking so long?

I was hoping that someone here was at HeavyMTL this weekend and can go wonder on over past the hot tubs and see what's on display. Any news etc?
Seems that there is nothing to report.
So far.

Well...we are about to hear from the fans who will attend Heavy Montreal this coming weekend and if there's only hot tubs and boat promotion with no band announcements/ticket news then, I would say that's really poor form and we continue to ponder and wait. So I reckon there's gotta be something thi...

With the 70k telling us every few days they'll be a Heavy Montreal - I wonder if any of those bands on that festival, will be on the boat. Have a look at the list. One that stood out, is Devin Townsend. He recently stated that he will be performing SYL songs on tour in 2020. Where? When? The boat? h...

I wonder if we'll see Sacred Reich on this cruise. I last saw them in 1994, opening for Sepultura! http://www.mhf-mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/SACRED-REICH-1.png I would enjoy to see them again. And... VIO-LENCE!! I've never seen them live! I would very much love to. http://www.metallibrary.ru...

It's a 16hr flight to Houston, Texas from Sydney It's actually 17 hours. I can totally say that cuz I took that flight last year to attend my best friend's wedding in Sydney. Wonderful memories from that trip, too Yeah! I wanna ask, you must have had room to stretch out in cabin, flying to Sydney f...
