Where's our 2020 Megathread, Andy?

Literally my only hope is that this IS the 2020 megathread..

I thought it was too, but the fact that it isn't pinned says otherwise :(

i thought so

Last gig: Dakhmas
Next gigs: Edu Falaschi's Moonlight aaaaand after that METALDAYS!!

any possible Angra Reunion or Shaman Reunion is now out of question...

RIP Andre Matos

too late do join?

i'm guessing july 2nd

Interesting. A forumite was talking to security and it sounded very much like a bigger boat was on the horizon. Where's the post where they confirm it? It was a response to a comment on the Thank you post: “We will back on the Independence once again in 2020 😉” I wonder why they added a wink... Loo...

I know that they could just be booked on their own, but this combination on the lineup for me: - ICED EARTH and BLIND GUARDIAN, therefore DEMONS & WIZARDS D&W would be awesome! I would love to have Angra & Arch Enemy to see Alissa singing Black Widow's Web (or Torture Squad, since Mayara did sing i...

Surely Andy would like to, as much as possible, get the old gang back together for 2020? These are 2011 bands that haven't been on 70k since: Witchburner The Absence (have been absent... *badoom tish!*) Saxon Sanctuary/Nevermore Malevolent Creation Forbidden Dusk Machine Circle II Circle Candlemass...

All in my signature

and Amon Amarth, Myrath and Torture Squad!

Won't be making it this year


see you all in 2020!

and have an amzing cruise!!

Fuck yes!!!!! Been wanting to see Onslaught forever! I missed the 2013 cruise (went on BTH instead) and it crushed me they weren't on the cruise I took that year. So happy!!! That's the 6th band from that cruise on the line-up now. At this rate, you won't have missed anything :D 2013 is my favorite...

The ONSLAUGHT for 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise has just begun! Make sure you join us for Round 9 next January! Missing this event would be a "P"erilous mistake... That's not what it said at first. It said "G"rave mistake. What happened? I also saw that......

We are proud to announce that SOULFLY will join us onbroad Round 9 of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. But wait! There is more to this announcement: After an extremely successful run of MAX AND IGGOR CAVALERA RETURN TO ROOTS, they officially retired this pro...

what the hot tub and beach are for.

Hot tub? You mean 70,000 Gallons of Urine!

Razor scale. 5 - 2 setter, I don't give a fuck who it conflicts with, everyone else can fuck off (only for 1 band) 4 - 2 setter, no matter what (unless conflicts with other 4's happen) - similar to '2' 3 - 1 set for sure, second one more than likely but depends on overlappings - similar to '1/2' 2 -...

Good things come to those who wait. You just have to ACCEPT it! Round 9 of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise sets sail in 5 MONTHS! Join 2,999 metalheads and 60 world class bands onbroad the ultimate Heavy Metal Vacation of a lifetime! It's "E"asy to be in a g...

My god. Is this the Megathread?

i believe it is!

so we're finally having updates we should have in march yaay

(actually i'm pretty hype, just pretending no to be to fool andy, he doesn't seem to like when we're hyped)

Finally some news.. signs of life....

Dont wanna talk about it, just wanna release some anger before i punch my screen or actually hit someone.

so here it goes:

So I'm throwing my birthday... oct 2nd

well

i was about to start planning for 2020 anyway, so...

The one change I'd do is make the qualification for Gold be that you've sailed on over 50% of the cruises. That would require some quality dedication to become Gold for newbies, yet reward the survivors who've been dedicated for such a long time. As well, it would open up the possibility of people ...

Everytime i see this megathread on the top, i have a mini heart attack.


then I read it again... 2018..

I'm expecting the usual ten bands in 70K's initial announcement....but I really think they should announce fifteen or twenty. A lot of folks are on the fence by this point. If it's just ten, then they'd better be BIG and from diverse genres. At least one of my 3 roommates is just about done with 70...

I agree with you.

And sometimes even bands that Split-up come back for a show

thats incredibly sad.. i heard the news and couldnt believe

So apparently according to the discussion on Facebook, there isn't even an official 70K presence at Heavy Montreal this weekend? Nope, nowhere to be seen. I truly wonder where this is going... if we dont get an announcement by the time we reach 180 days to go, i'll start to get honestly worried

asked Angra's guitarist Rafael Bittencourt about playing 70k next year in his facebook livestream, he said 'can't say anything, but hopefuly'

Since Lione is there every year and Angra just released their new album, that would be a good bet.

Announcements are taking so long and ruled out list is growing.

Soon we're gonna be able to guess the line-up

Phill Anselmo & The Illegals Will be Touring Brazil during the cruise, so any project with Phill Anselmo is ruled out

Avantasia ruled out. Asked on facebook and answered by Tobi himself Alejandro Melgar: 70000 Tons of Metal is a little bit much to ask? Avantasia: Yes, no shows in January... Source: https://www.facebook.com/avantasia/photos/a.10151031238933889.434995.266872843888/10156064757873889/?type=3&theat...

I'm going to guess july 9th

Dimmu would be a nice add..

but the new song.... sounds like Shagrath is replacing Floor in Nightwsih
