70000k 2026 dates

The 70000 Tons Of Metal festival will return in 2026, once again setting sail from Miami, Florida to Labadee, Haiti, from January 29 to February 2. Known as the world's original and biggest heavy metal cruise, the event will host 60 bands performing across four stages, including the massive pool deck stage—the largest open-air stage to ever sail the seas.

With no VIP areas, all 3,000 metalheads on board will have unrestricted festival access to over 120 live performances, meet-and-greets with every band, masterclasses, and exclusive album premieres. The cruise will also feature the iconic "Jamming In International Waters All-Star Jam", where musicians team up for live renditions of metal classics.

This year's 2025 edition just wrapped up its voyage from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, featuring Dirkschneider, Candlemass, Emperor, Finntroll, Hammerfall, Septicflesh, Sepultura, Suffocation, Stratovarius, and more. 

Expect another massive lineup for 2026, with announcements coming soon.
