The Running Order for 70000TONS OF METAL® will be posted soon after all Artists have been announced. Performances will take place at multiple venues on board the ship. Every Artist will perform two shows on two different days. We want to make sure that you’ll be able to see each and every band on board perform an entire show, so no two bands will perform at the same time twice.

The use of Pocket and Cell Phone Cameras are permitted at all performances on board.

For everyone’s comfort, the use of Tablet Computers and Laptops are not allowed at any performances.

The use of Professional Photo Cameras with detachable lenses, video cameras as well as audio recording devices are NOT permitted during any performances on board without a valid Press Pass. If you are a media professional interested in covering this event, please visit our Press Inquiries page.

Many Artists will be part of something special on board. Since this is one of the most intimate Metal Festivals to ever take place, we feel it’s important for those taking part to experience things they wouldn’t otherwise be a part of. Music workshops, Meet and Greet sessions with each and every Artist, karaoke, fan friendly events and other forms of non-music entertainment will be plentiful on board! Make sure to check out our infamous Belly Flop contest, Jamming in International Waters (All-Star Jam), and 70000TONS® OF KARAOKE until sunrise at the Solarium.

Yes! You are welcome to bring your memorabilia to get it signed. Every band will have an official signing session.

Prices will vary depending on the type of Shore Excursion you decide to take part in.

There is no dress code, however, the usual “no shirt, no shoes, no service” rule applies to all of the restaurants and dining rooms on board.

All restaurants will have open seating and there is no shortage of food on board! Enjoy a quick snack out by the pool, hit the buffet or enjoy daily room service… that’s all included in your grand total ticket price! The buffet includes all types of food around the clock, so if you’re looking for a sandwich, salad, international cuisine or just a slice of pizza, your cravings will be satisfied. Additionally, the formal dining room offers a nicer, sit-down meal for the times you’re more interested in being waited on.
