The organisers of 70000 Tons of Metal have officially confirmed the sailing dates and destination for their 2027 voyage. Widely recognized as the world’s biggest heavy metal cruise, the upcoming edition is scheduled to depart from Miami, Florida, running from 14 January through 18 January 2027.
For the 2027 excursion, the ship will chart a course to Puerto Plata on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic before returning to port in Miami.
As with previous years, the four-night floating festival is set to host 60 bands performing over 120 live sets across multiple onboard stages. Beyond the live performances, the event will feature its signature schedule of fan activities, including artist meet-and-greets, signing sessions, and exclusive events where attendees and musicians share the ship’s amenities.
The stop in Puerto Plata will offer attendees the chance to explore local attractions during the day, including the cable car at Mount Isabel de Torres, Sosúa Beach, and the historic Victorian architecture surrounding Parque Independencia, before the live music resumes onboard each evening.
Further updates regarding the specific cruise ship, ticket on-sale dates, and initial lineup announcements are expected to be released over the coming months.
