| I found out about THIS today, and me and some friends might actually be able to pull it off financially speaking. It's a 5 day, 4 night cruise from Miami - Cozumel -Miami (Jan. 24-29 2011). There's only been 8 bands announced thus far (see below) but there's supposed to be a total of 40. They say that each band will do at least two shows, and will also mingle with everyone during the trip. (When not playing, of course.) Prices start at $666 (of course) and go up to $2999. (Plus $245 for taxes, fees and all food--dinning, restaurants, bar, and 24 hour room service.) Also, you can get 10% off for signing up (no obligation) now and another 5% off for paying before June 6th. Discounts are on room. Not the $245 fee. Announced Bands: Amon Amarth Epica Sodom Sonata Arctica Stratovarius Trouble Uli Jon Roth Witchburner Fintroll Raven Saxon Moonspell Obituary Swashbuckle Just imagine laying on the deck listening to Amon Amarth play Embrace the Endless Ocean while sipping a tiki drink out of a drinking horn with a little umbrella. Also +1 for 24/7 bar and 24/7 casino. Edit to add link.

| holy crap that sounds amazing. We have also booked a cruise this Easter for 7 nights although the only metal I will be listening to on deck will most likely be through my headphones. I hope you get to go! | |

| Just gotta hope hard it won't be a 70000 tons Metal Titanic. Too many bands would be sunk down. Naww just kidding (or actually not ofc I hope it won't sunk), it would again be awesome to get to a fest like that. BUT I LIVE IN THE DAMN WOODS IN FINLAND! And there's a almost a meter of snow depending of place out there. Gotta try to melt them down with my amp. | |

| Speaking of Finland, this was posted today.....
Before we take off on a world tour to pick up more bands for our line-up we thought we would need some more Finnish Trolls, so please welcome FINNTROLL to the line-up of 70000TONS OF METAL. 9 out of 40 and counting. Now we set sail in the Baltic Sea on our way to pick up the next band. Where may our next port call be...? You shall know soon! Stay tuned! | |

| Docking in Newcastle. Ashore we ran into some lunatics that go by the name of RAVEN. How could we deny them to come aboard? Well we couldn't. So please welcome RAVEN to the line up of 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival. On and On my friends. 10 out of 40 and counting. We kind of like it here in the UK, we might even find some more great bands to add while we are on these islands... | |

| When our scouting parties came to South Yorkshire they did not get around to recruiting the leading lights of NWOBHM: SAXON will play two unique shows aboard 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival. One night SAXON will play “Wheels Of Steel”, the entire album. On a different night, for the second show, they will play “Strong Arm Of The Law” also the entire album.
With our Skipper's promise to come back to the UK for more, we left a scouting party behind and set sail again in the North Sea. 11 out of 40 bands on board. Course: The Channel. Where is our Skipper taking us? To the new world? | |

| On our long trip to complete our line up we decided to visit Portugal, birthplace of some of the greatest seafarers in history. When we sailed into the port of Lisbon, we were greeted by local heroes MOONSPELL. 12 out of 40 and counting. Soon we will set sail again to our next destination. Were are we off to? | |

| We were sailing along the coast of New Jersey when we got attacked by Pirates! They call themselves SWASHBUCKLE and bring some real Cruise Ship Terror on board 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival! Now those pirates hijacked our ship and we have no idea where we are off to next... | |

| After crossing the Panama Canal we started to explore the North American West Coast. Our first stop had to be the San Francisco Bay Area. On the other side of the continent it was Death Metal, here it is a DEATH ANGEL! Some real solid Bay Area Thrash for the line-up of 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival. 15 out of 40 and counting... | |
