OMNIUM GATHERUM will spread their Burning Cold in the sunny Caribbean this January on board Round X of 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. Will you be among the 3,000 Sailors who will embark on the voyage of a lifetime? If you don't have your "S"pot secured, what are you wai...

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 - 1 set for su...

I, let's see. Ihsahn I'm betting... maybe immortal, immolation, impiety, inquisition

I highly doubt Andy would book Inquisition after their, ehm, "controversy"

Metal archives has nothing.

Anyone know anything about this band?

Metal Archives probably has nothing because this band probably doesn't qualify as metal to them.

We've got the fire... and you Sailors may be KISSIN' DYNAMITE come January! With 3,000 Sailors from across the globe alongside 60 world-class Artists onbroad our huge 154,000ton luxury cruise liner, 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise is an experience like no ot...

Does anyone want to reach out to UMC to see if they can request the bar in Viking Crown be staffed?

Can we have a GIF requesting it? Pretty please.

JK. If you have a scene in mind I could do it with I should be able to pop one out pretty easily.

Hannes from Sabaton 100% confirmed to me last night that they are absolutely not playing in 2020, but he did say "Maybe 2021."

I don't fuckin' care how well they fit on this boat, get me some Kissin' Dynamite on broad! HIT ME WITH THAT GERMAN STADIUM ROCK BAND, PLEASE.

Sailors! Are you getting excited for Round X of 70000TONS OF METAL? You better be! Only onbroad The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise will you be able to feel the rays of the WINTERSUN next year! Not just once, but twice!! That's right, they will play their ONLY live shows in 2020 on...

Emperor - 1 - I might catch one show if I'm bored Epica - 4 - Absolutely catching both shows, so long as no other band appears that blows my socks off and plays at the same time Haggard - 3 - Probably both shows, but wouldn't be upset to miss one Leave's Eyes - 3 - Same as Haggard Moonsorrow - 3 - A...

Emperor - 1 - I might catch a show, but what I'm hearing doesn't entice me. Epica - 4 - Love Epica, but if something better occurs I'd pass Epica for them. Haggard - 3 - Gonna catch a Haggard set, and if nothing better is happening we'll see about the second. Origin - No idea. Haven't listened to em...

Looks like at least 2 of my guesses will be onbroad. No clue if they’ll be among the first bands announced. Who do you think will be among the first announced for 2020? I'll buy a beer for whoever gets the most right in the first run of band announcements. My guesses: Demons & Wizards Epica Annihil...

Previously: My Therapy - Kamelot
Currently: Bored - Death Angel
When I'm on the boat this year: The Ones We Left Behind - Bloodbound

Slightly less noticed thing: The video they have embedded on the landing page (www.70000tons.com) is still the 2018 aftermovie, they haven't updated it to the 2019 one yet even though that video has been made/published for 10 days.

I’m calling it that at the strike of 100 days we’ll get a full announcement with the logo and every band all in one

100 days to go and:

- no pinned "OFFICIAL" 2020 thread on the forum
- no 2019 day 4 recap video
- no bands
- no booking codes
- no updated payment date in the terms and conditions

What have I missed?

No hope </3

And now, lets guess which of these we get next! - them actually fixing the change of payment plan date in all referenced pages on the site, AND TELLING US ABOUT IT? - a "100 days to go" post? - the next iteration of "poolgirl of the month"? - a band announcement? - booking code emails? In that orde...

This cruise is obviously a huge logistical undertaking with a lot of moving parts, and it looks like some of those parts aren't moving right now. He doesn't owe us an explanation, but after 9 solid years, he does owe us a 10th because he told us it was happening and we believed him. Yeah, maybe "an...

I'm going with 2... If they DON'T offer some kind of explanation they'll lose customers, I think, permanently. Even though Andy's modus operandi is mystery and silence, this is too much for him. Something is clearly fucked up and if they just go ahead with bands and don't answer questions then I'm s...

... I've had to revise my own "passenger manifest" downwards, as far as booking people with me, because friends have gotten so disgusted they've dropped out. I'm managing this same situation right now with my cabin mates. I started with a potential 8, and have narrowed it down to a definite 4. I've...

My own personal guess is going to be the evening of the 25th itself, with the reasoning 'due to unforeseen events beyond our control'

Howdy survivors and forum browsers! Welcome to the FIRST EVER thread where we try to guess the date they announce the changes they're inevitably going to make to the payment plan. Shit is STRAIGHT FUCKED right now and we clearly have no hope of abiding by that September 25th cut-off date. This is go...

Okay, I guess you've given me my ounce of transparency with the prices. Cool.

But as of NOW you've got less than 90 hours until the payment plan cutoff, and seeing as how this thread kind of worked, how about 70,000 Tons of Transparency because people need that payment plan to BOOK! CHOP CHOP!

Yeah I'm going with it won't. Too much bullshit this year.

I have no idea how any company can have such a bad communication strategy. If your customers are getting angry du to your lack of communication that IS bad. And if it sells out in the end it doesn't matter. Why would they worry? Short of writing 365 different messages on the banner saying "the crui...

Andy, Staff members. You have less than 6 days to get your shit together. If you want people to be able to actually use the payment plan with YOUR stated cutoff date of SEPTEMBER 25TH , then within the next ~140 hours, you have to: Probably make a soon post, probably make a forum post, announce at l...

Right now, no updates can be shrugged off as "Oh, Andy is just going balls to the wall with his silly #SOON antics this year! haha!" The wait hasn't actually hurt anyone yet. Aside from Australians and people from other distant countries who care about the lineup as a reason to book. It hasn't hurt...

I agree with Statsman right now. I doubt they'll be changing the payment plan date or changing it from a 4mth to a 3mth or anything, the PR disaster from that would be astronomically worse than anything they've done so far. Right now, no updates can be shrugged off as "Oh, Andy is just going balls t...

God damn I hope Andy is supplying UMC staff with free speed/caffeine/energy drinks. Because with 10 days to go now, if and when bookings finally open, no-one working bookings at UMC is gonna get any sleep if they want to process all those bookings before Sept. 25! I like how the first thing you hop...

Something HAS to happen tonight, right? 115 days left exactly?

:(

You made me jump out of my chair at work and now I look like an idiot lmao.

The FB bot/troll posted this today, in case anyone missed it.

Yes, the Payment Plan will be available for when tickets go on sale :) We can't wait to see you on board!

Not quite sure how that’s gonna work.

Technically if tickets go on sale on September 24th at 11:59:59 they aren't lying.

Here’s my working theory. Whichever big name band (or bands) they had lined up backed out at the last minute. So they’re either trying to figure out how to get them back, or scrambling to find replacements that would be worthy of headliner status for a “milestone” event in Round X. As a result, I’m...

16 days to the four-payment-plan cutoff of Sept 25. It is more and more looking like there will be no gold-silver-public deliniation this year. The following VERY TIGHT timeline only JUST fits in to 16 days, even if announcements start today! *Announce bands* *bit of a break - at least 24 hours?* *...
