70000TONS OF METAL, the eminent heavy metal cruise, will commence its 2026 nautical journey with a grand change in destination. Scheduled to set sail from January 29 to February 2, 2026, the voyage will now traverse from Miami, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas aboard the majestic vessel, Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas. This alteration comes as a precautionary measure in response to the persistent instability in the region, with a primary focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of the attendees, artists, and crew members.

Andy Piller, the Skipper of 70000TONS OF METAL, expressed the rationale behind this decision by stating, “While Labadee has been a great port of call on past sailings, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in Haiti and its surrounding regions.” He reiterated that the safety and comfort of the attendees are paramount and non-negotiable. The shift to Nassau is a strategic move to continue providing the world-class experience that the attendees, known as “Survivors”, have come to expect both onboard and ashore.

The preliminary lineup for the event boasts an impressive array of heavy metal bands in the first wave announcement. Bands like Amorphis, Dark Tranquillity, Dødheimsgard, Eluveitie, and several others have made the cut. Many may find it surprising to see Dødheimsgard on a cruise lineup, but the mix adds an eclectic touch to the overall experience.

Joining these bands are other notable names such as Amorphis, Beast In Black, Dark Tranquillity, Ereb Altor, Firewind, Gama Bomb, Groza, Haggard, and many more. The initial lineup is just the beginning, with the promise of 33 additional bands to be added to the roster.

In conclusion, this alteration in course for the 2026 edition of 70000TONS OF METAL signifies the commitment of the organizers to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. The allure of heavy metal music combined with the thrill of a cruise makes this event a unique and exhilarating opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the music they love while sailing on the high seas. With an impressive lineup and stunning cruise ship setting, the 2026 voyage promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees and participants.
