I’d like to take October 26th of this year if I may

57 days to go! Wow! We'll get better than 1 band announcement a day!!! :headbanger: :lol: :roll: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Seriously though, its a bit crap that there is still not one iota of news about the next sailing (not even sure its worth referring to it as "70k 2021"). The social m...

Getting awfully tight for the payment plans...

I mean this is even assuming we get an official cancellation. I think we all know that it’s not beneath them and their... “unique” levels of customer care to just leave it without saying anything at all

I’ll take October 26th

24 bands in 16 days!

What's the math here then?
can't be 1 band a day anymore.

Quote of the century

At this rate bands 37 - 60 can be ruled out

Just consider this. They've had Havok and the E band who's name I can't remember long enough to design a poster, approve the poster, shop it around to magazines, have it printed in the magazines, and have those magazines out on sale. And in all this time they prefer to keep quiet and not tell us any...

downright lame. Honestly, with a band to be announced at the beach, and with a couple of 3 in 1 jobbies, a steady amount leading up to the boat and a spattering around December, we've probably had all we're gonna have for November Or we could get another announcement in five minutes! That's half th...

I can only assume Andy is sick or something. He was reportedly sick and that's why this whole process started late anyways. "Droughts" are normal and honestly,5 days? That's downright tame. downright lame. Honestly, with a band to be announced at the beach, and with a couple of 3 in 1 jobbies, a st...

Fucking Gutalax already

Keep in mind that AA were supposed to be the final band announced for 2016. I take that to mean he must have been satisfied enough with the rate of cabin sales without having to pull that ace from his sleeve until the very end. Plus it’s a nice loyalty reward for those vets who constantly book as s...

So, unless I’m mistaken, we have just as many bands left to announce as we have week days until the cruise. With seemingly no announcements being made over weekends, I wonder if the plan was to get to this position and announce one band a day (excluding weekends) until the cruise?

Well this is sure to make a lot of people happy!

Like MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why are bands from Hell & Heaven Fest ruled out? I'm calling it that European bands on the "Hell and Heaven" Mexico lineup are unlikely for 70K. Doubt that they would fly over, do 70K, fly home again, then fly back barely 2 months later. And they couldn't sustain staying touring the americas betwee...

Epica
Insomnia
Cruachan
Beast in Black
Rhapsody
Nanowar of Steel

Why are bands from Hell & Heaven Fest ruled out?

And this whole thinning out the herd theory I have seen being tossed up, I find disturbing to be honest. If that was the thinking, the planning here, what a disgrace! A ten year anniversary should never be about thinning out the survivors who have made this cruise/event a spectacular journey each y...

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

Running Wild
Gutalax
Nanowar of Steel
Spasm
Porky Vagina
Sigh
Gutalax
Jaldaboath
Psykosis
The Jackson 5

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND UNHOLY.

So I was just wondering, for those of us who have visited Cozumel on the cruise before, how is it? What is there to do? How does it rank among other destinations?

My vote goes for tomorrow, the 30th

Dream Spirit
Gutalax
Jaldaboath
Maximum the Hormone
Nanowar of Steel
Porky Vagina
Running Wild
Sigh
Spasm
Turilli/Lione Rhapsody
Uli Jon Roth
Wintersun

Just these bands over and over and no one else please.

(I have reason to believe that Nekrogoblikon have been asked if they’re available 🤫) BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEARS BEAR...

What time do numbers usually start getting handed out?

I was told before Christmas - from a pretty reliable sounding source - that all bands had been booked

Probably more than that I reckon. I cannot remember how early I got there in 2018 but it was EARLY . And I reckon there were already at least two dozen there. Hated how disorganised it was, and how easy it was for people to cut the queue. Really hope there are some improvements this year. What time...

What we talking like, twenty? A hundred? I would say at 3am maybe a dozen. I would say by 6am there might be 100, by 10am I would say 300+ in line. Those are swag's (Super Wild Ass Guess's), so somebody call BS if you disagree with these numbers. Probably more than that I reckon. I cannot remember ...

There is a trick to getting merch semi painlessly, though it does involve lack of sleep. Get in the line between 5 and 6am. Hang out and chat with your fellow cruisers. Get your low number around 8am, get some breakfast, come back about 9am get your merch, be there to see the first show at 10am. It...

All merch complaints can be directed to the appropriate Facebook group - I think it's called 70,000 Tons of Merch Complaints? I wish we could do that, and it's a system that's been suggested yearly. But there's some sort of deal with RC keeping them from doing it, else they would have already . All...

I was told a couple of weeks ago that all bands have been booked. And that one of those bands starts with a W and ends in an intersun...

Obviously take this with a pinch of salt but it’s from a pretty solid source

could just get it done ourselves...?

Running Wild
Gutalax
Slough Feg
Blood Ceremony
Porky Vagina
Spasm
Gutalax
Crystal Viper
Wintersun
Jaldaboath
Sigh
Maximum the Hormone
Gutalax

All of these are mandatory.

I'm campaigning seriously hard for Gutalax next year and need all the help I can get. We need some filthy dirty grind on board!

Heyyyyyyyyy roomie!

Thanks Statsman. I should really add myself back into the 70,000 Tons Forum Fiends Facebook group. This is a delicate question to phrase but uh... of the 7 bands we don't know yet, do we know if any of them are bringing merch? Not looking for spoilers, just to know if we should expect any more crui...

Is it generally a thing that the last band announced will be a pretty big one? I mean if it were me I wouldn't save bands like Carcass and Overkill's announcements for last...

3244.

Some say that’s the best cabin

Mainly me.

Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens have all been confirmed as being busy elsewhere
