Eneferens would be cool.

If we’re gonna do a repeat, I’d really like to see Enslaved again. Hopefully with better sound this time...that pool deck set last time was a travesty.

Gotta admit, all these repeats are making it much easier to come to peace with the fact that this’ll be my last 70K for the foreseeable future.

We've been broaded by a Phantom Ship! CARACH ANGREN will invade the Caribbean alongside 59 other World Class Artists for the ultimate Heavy Metal Festival experience. Round X of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise departs in January. Don't be "C"omplacent, make ...

Solid add, but still nothing from my signature :(

Join the club.

(although I’m still really happy with the lineup so far)

Fuck yeah! Never had the chance to see Finntroll and have always wanted to. Great announcement.

Since I can’t imagine them announcing someone as big as Behemoth this late in the game, I’d love to see Bell Witch or Beastwars next.

Worst billing ever!

Hopefully the band with O is

OVERKILL or
OBITUARY

Obituary was on last year.

I’d love Obsequiae or Oak Pantheon.

I always thought it was EE-sawn, but I could be wrong.

That was a no-brainer, but still very cool. I really like his solo stuff.

Still holding out hope for either Aeternam, Abbath, or Atlas Pain for the next one.

Kick off next year with THE AGONIST and 59 other world class Artists for the ultimate Heavy Metal festival experience onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise! You don't want to be at home, "I"nconsolable, knowing that you won't be a part of Round X... secure...

Would love to get Igorrr, but I’m guessing it’s Ihsahn.

Which is pretty good too.

2 - Aether Realm 0 - Aborted 0 - Archon Angel 2 - At The Gates 2 - Candlemass 1 - Cruachan 2 - Devin Townsend 0 - Einherjer 2 - Emperor 2 - Epica 0 - Flotsam & Jetsam 1 - Grave Digger 2 - Haggard 1 - Kampfar 0 - Kissin' Dynamite 0 - Leaves' Eyes 0 - Michael Schenker Fest 1 - Moonsorrow 1 - Origin 0 ...

Here is a thought maybe Andy can reach out to any of the former band members of Agalloch to come on board , That band had so much talent and inspiration . Would be great to see them again in some capacity , even though they split up . From everything I've read, Agalloch's split was somewhat...less ...

I'm not a man, and your joke isn't funny.

Ok dude. Then DO take it personally. I could care less how sensitive you are about it.

The thread is turning into the wrong type of Trollfest.

:golf clap;

Please be Turisas...please be Turisas...

but I´m afraid we have to face Gloryhammer!!!

They did 2019, so nope.

Gatecreeper would be great, as would Gloson or Gyze.

Especially Gyze. Those dudes were amazing in 2018.

Fuck yeah. At the Gates is always a blast.

Would love to see Aeternam again. Their fuck-you-o-clock pool deck set with the sunrise in the background was damn near a spiritual experience. Anaal Nathrakh or Amiensus would also be pretty awesome, as would Abbath, At the Gates, or Atlas Pain. So many good "A" bands! Or is it too much to hope for...

1. The venue filler, but still more or less within the 70K budget/audience limits. Behemoth 2. A band probably no one else in this forum listens to. Igorrr 3. A solid Cripper Award contender (if possible, less known than your previous answer). Tomb Mold 4. The band you still NEED to see live for the...

Jumping on the Wilderun hype train. These guys are awesome. Another +1 for Wilderun Their new album has basically just been on repeat for me since yesterday, so yeah...another huge +1 here. It’s brilliant . Wonder if not being signed to a label (a fact that is goddamn criminal) makes it easier or h...

Been listening to Devin Townsend for the first time this morning, really liking it.

Those sets definitely just bumped up my priority list.

I've been muttering for several years that the next 70k would be my last, but I think this year it's finally hit home that I need to take a breather (after all ten!) because I see such a disparity between my reaction to announcements and others' reactions. I think it's just a function of taking all...

Falls of Rauros would be awesome

Epica's star is waning, isn't it? Their North American tour with Fleshgod Apocalypse tanked pretty hard, according to my friend who knows a lot of the local promoters in various cities (lots of people lost money). I'm sure they'll probably still get 60 minutes, but I wouldn't be too surprised if th...

Khemmis for "K" would be rad.

If it were to be Slayer (highly unlikely), announcing them after the boat was nearly full would certainly be the best way to do it. I kinda like Slayer. Hardcore Slayer fans ...not so much. Strigoi !!! That would be awesome. The couple tracks I've heard from their debut album (drops next month) are...

"S", huh? Guess it's time for my yearly ultimatum to sacrifice a kitten unless Sigh is announced. Ah I hope it's SIGH! But I bet it's another repeat. I'll be content with Septicflesh, Skeletonwitch, or Sentient Horror as well. Finally got my booking figured out. For some reason, Comcast decided to ...

You guys e-mailing info@70000tons.com or booking@70000tons.com? Sent one to the booking e-mail an hour or so ago (it was what was listed in the booking request e-mail I got from them)...nada. EDIT: NVM, they just responded. Said they sent it yesterday then resent again today, and nothing's coming th...

2 - Candlemass
1 - Einherjer
2 - Emperor
2 - Epica
2 - Haggard
0 - Leaves' Eyes
1 - Moonsorrow
1 - Origin
2 - Venom

A fantastic start for me.

Any other Gold's still waiting for their confirmation e-mails from Tuesday?

I got the "Booking Request" e-mail, but haven't seen the confirmation/payment e-maily yet. Wondering if I should be concerned.

Dayum, this lineup is turning out to be as amazing as I had hoped.

Lots of "M"s on my personal list. My Dying Bride, Morbid Angel, Messa, Myrkur, Mayhem...

Leaves Eyes...meh.

Would LOVE Cynic as the “C”. Especially if they played Focus in full as one of their sets.

We ended up getting booked with a minimum of fuss today. I was in meetings, but cabinmate booked on his iphone without a hitch. Whew.

Waking up to see Haggard announced is amazing. A huge 3 for 3 for me so far.

If “O” is The Ocean, imma lose my shit. Obsequiae also would be great, but they’re probably not big enough for this initial wave of announcements.

2 - Emperor
2 - Epica

Damn fine start for me.

Holy shit.

That's one hell of a start!

Highly doubt it’ll be blind. I’m guessing we get a slew of announcements over the weekend.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

I’m in client meetings all day on the 22nd and will have no way to log on.

Add Æther Realm as ruled out. I asked if we'd be hearing about a trip to Mexico SOON. The response was they'd love to play on the ship and perhaps it could happen after their next album is released.

Damn.

Although I'm glad we know the reason behind the delay, I still have some reservations about going this time around. I'm no festival promoter, but I would assume there is a metric shit-ton of logistics coordination that needs to be done 4-6 months in advance to pull off something as big as 70K. If th...
