The 2024 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal festival sailed January 29 to February 2 from Miami, Florida to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and back, on board the luxury passenger vessel Freedom Of The Seas.

Organizers have released the Day 2 Recap video below, stating: The construction of the Pool Deck stage is complete, and is now primed to host electrifying concerts! This magnificent structure is The World’s Biggest Open Air Stage structure to sail the Open Seas, and is the Crown Jewel of 70000 Tons Of Metal. The Pool Deck stage was ready for Day 2 performances thanks to the efforts of a dedicated crew of over 100 staff members working tirelessly through the night. Enjoying the warm Caribbean sun while watching your favorite metal bands perform is truly unbeatable. Sailors can rock out on the Pool Deck knowing they are safe from UV rays thanks to the Pool Girls and Pool Boys, our international ambassadors of Heavy Metal, who offer sunscreen for protection.

Day 2 of 70000 Tons Of Metal 2024 is packed with meet and greets, giving Sailors the chance to interact with all 60+ artists on board. Sailors bring a variety of merchandise, including CDs, vinyl albums, flags, and more, for their Heavy Metal heroes to sign. There were also several Artist Clinics and events hosted during the day including Alexander Krull of Leaves' Eyes hosting a very special History of Vikings Showcase!"

Sailors, brace yourselves for another epic voyage! The 2025 edition of 70000 Tons Of Metal, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, will take us back to an absolute fan-favorite port that hasn't been visited in a decade - Ocho Rios, Jamaica! Taking place January 30 – February 3, 2025.

60 Bands, 4 Days, 1 Cruise Ship, and only 3000 Tickets. This is 70000 Tons Of Metal, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

On 70000 Tons Of Metal you get unrestricted festival access to all 120 live shows on board, 70000 Tons Of Karaoke until sunrise, Jamming In International Waters – the Official 70000 Tons Of Metal All Star Jam which writes heavy metal history every year, clinics and work-shops with the musicians, our infamous belly flop contest, shore excursions with your favorite artists, and much more!

Everyone on board is a VIP, we don’t have assigned seating (this is a heavy metal cruise after all), and most importantly the bars on our ship never close – you heard us, bars that never close!

On this life changing adventure you will spend five days and four nights at sea mingling side-by-side with your favorite artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It’s like having an All-Access backstage pass!
