The following bands will be in Dallas, TX on January 11th:
Carcass
Vio-lence
Razor
Deafheaven
Power Trip

[quote="cowboy71"] 2014 Unearth were announced only 10 days before sailing, and they were technically one of the headliners as they got one 75 minute set (and one 60 minute set). Pure speculation on my behalf but I reckon them getting a headline set might have been a 'hook' to get them to ...

My vote would definitely go to Thyrfing, but of the bands listed: Twilight Force.

Madkill wrote:That doesn't rule out Exodus or Slayer.

For some reason I thought Metal Allegiance included Gary Holt. My mistake.

I have a theory on Slayer and Exodus both making it on board. Lee Altus plays with Heathen (already booked), and he also plays with Gary Holt in Exodus (who has no conflicting tours/shows), who has been filling in Slayer (who might be the "big name"). m Even though it's still possible, th...

My name is Mark. Back for more! I was on the first 70k in 2011 and am excited to return in a few days. City Country? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Age? An immature 46. What first got you into metal? KISS. First concert at age 10 was the Alive II tour. That scarred me for life (in a good way). Play any ...

Thanks for the in-depth review. Having missed this year's go-around, I felt like I was on the ship again!

I appreciate your effort of letting those of us who missed out know what the atmosphere was like.

Through this forum, I find myself vicariously excited for all of this year's cruisers.

Have a blast. I did last year. Hopefully I will attend again in the near future. Be Safe everyone!

Surprised no one else caught this. But it looks like Anvil can be ruled out as they have a US tour starting on the 27th January. Unless they plan on flying straight to Ohio when they get off the ship. Seems a bit too tight to me. This year, I believe that Gamma Ray played in NYC on the Friday that ...

Having cancelled before the first deadline, it was hard enough losing $100. I believe that very few, if any, would cancel now unless they absolutely had to. The % lost is just too high. What's most frustrating is that UMC doesn't coordinated any sort of announcement with a pending deadline. These pa...

After a punk rock weekend in Chicago (Social Distortion, ALL, Descendents, Smoking Popes), I'm looking forward to the following metal shows this month.
Chimaira on Tuesday
10/23 Kvelertak & Skeletonwitch
10/28 Decapitated, Decrepit Birth, Fleshgod Apocalypse

Last: Saturday afternoon- Doro at Best Buy outside of Philly. Billed as acoustic, but turned out to be electric 8-song set. It was a really fun show, but the Best Buy atmosphere was strange. Saturday night- Journey and Night Ranger in Atlantic City. Next: Tonight- Arch Enemy, DevilDriver, Skeletonwi...

May be going to see In This Moment, After the Burial, and Born of Osiris on Tuesday... still not sure yet... and there will be other not as good bands there... so I will see. @ Sonar in Baltimore. I saw this show (The All Stars Tour) in Allentown last week and even though it unquestionably has its ...

At least it will give them something to promote immediately to the 70k Tons cruisers in 2012. I predict that it will be a fall version on a smaller scale; A long-weekend cruise on possibly a different ship. Still something to look forward to, but discouraging due to the lack of band announcements on...

Last night: Anvil in West Chester, PA. Really fun show. This was my first time seeing Anvil, but won't be the last! Tomorrow: Mayhem Fest in Camden, NJ. Not staying for the headliners. I dislike Godsmack so much, that they are not worth sitting through just to watch the tiresome Disturbed. Looking f...

You guys may already know this, but: The Exodus webstore has the "Booze Cruise" shirts in stock that were available on the ship. http://www.jsrdirect.com/bands/exodus/ I didn't know that this was an Exodus shirt at the ship's merch area, since only the back was displayed when I was there. ...

Last: Black Label Society last Friday In Atlantic City
Next: Otep/Blackguard in Allentown on Wednesday

Upcoming:
The Monkees 6/18 in Atlantic City. That's right, I'll admit it, The motherfuckin' Monkees; and I'm looking forward to it! Helstar 6/22 in Philadelphia.

I'm curious. With all the talk about how the 2012 lineup doesn't compare to 2011... does anyone remember who the first 10 bands announced were for last year? It's kind of hard to make a comparison at this point unless we know where we were last time. Here's hoping the remaining 30 bands will be kic...

In my opinion they can probably never beat 2011's lineup. If they however prove me wrong I'll be the first to admit it. Out of 10 confirmed bands I only care for Grave Digger and Stratovarius. I'm with you on that. They are the only two that I know I want to see this far in advance. That being said...

Usually parking is free at Sonar.... does anyone know if (because of the MDF) that you have to pay? and also I guess if they are having an outdoor stage than, most of it's 'turf' is on the parking lot(s) where people would usually park? guess most of you don't have to worry about that part of the d...

Last Night: Destruction/Heathen/Warbeast at Bourbon Street in Baltimore. Great show enjoyed by about 50 people. The balcony was closed, but the main level looked to hold close to 600 people! Every band mentioned how empty it was, but all had great old-school metal sets. Next up is the M3 Rock Fest i...

1. Australia- Airbourne
2. Brazil- Sepultura
3. England- Napalm Death
4. Germany- Accept
5. Ireland- Therapy?
6. Japan- Loudness
7. Norway- Mayhem
8. Poland- Vader
9. Sweden- Entombed
10. USA- Black Label Society

Last: Rammstein last night at the Meadowlands. Excellent as usual. Very similar to the MSG show in NYC last December. One small improvement was the over-the-crowd zipline missle-like firework. The music is great, but the stageshow is absolutely amazing. Fire, bombs, and more fire. The most unpredict...

Only a guess: The Bourbon Street Complex is just around the corner. You can even see it from Sonar. The multiple stages there seem to be the best fit for MDF. There is apparently a parking lot across the street to possibly house the outside stage. The main issues now may be bumping already schedule...

Sets time are up on MDF web page.
Going on Friday only. Work and Memorial Day weekend traffic on 95 will be an issue, but as long as I get to see COC, Kylesa, and Marduk I will be happy.

Last: Sepultura last night in Philly. Fantastic! Even if you question their validity nowadays. Too may Max-era songs in the set, but once they start playing, it's hard to care. Belphegor was also great (especially on Easter Sunday). Next: Down on Friday Future: 5/5 Rammstein, 5/6 Amon Amarth, 5/9 Ca...

Last: Chris Cornell Sunday
Next: Accept/Sabaton tonight. Accept was the best show of last year (above shows by my all-time favorites Kiss and Faith No More), and i expect no less than that tonight!

[quote="Lal@"]i hope this isn't our cruise - but it's the only Ship that's "ausgebucht" = SOLD. The Allure ist definitely too big .... I'm sure that it won't be too long before an announcement is made, and I don't want to rely on guesses, but... 1. It's still called "70,000&...

Is anyone from 70,000 Tons going to the Philadelphia Finnish Metal Tour 2 concert Tuesday? I'm a 70,000 Tons survivor, but unfortunately have no shirt to prove it since they were sold out on the ship :[ But if anyone out there is, Tuesday we're gonna repuhzent! I'll be there! I usually hang in the ...

DemonNIN wrote:got tickets for Rammstein at the IZOD center

Me too. Probably the same great show as MSG, but I could see that again and again.
Last show: As I Lay Dying last night in Lancaster, PA. Next show: Finntroll in Philadelphia on Tuesday- I can't wait to relive the cruise at this show.

The first ones that come to mind:

Accept
Kreator
Doro
Anthrax
Black Label Society
Overkill
Behemoth
Mayhem

Keep it exactly the same time frame and number of bands. I loved every minute of it! After returning home a friend told me about "post-cruise depression". I think that that would happen no matter how long the trip was. Possibly even worse if it was longer. And I love seeing bands early in ...

#28 Mark W. is flying into Miami from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

CD inserts are easy to pack, so that's a must for some bands. However, I would love it if they had individual band mini-posters with the 70k Tons logo on them much like Jager-sponsored bands have. I'm always a sucker for a framed signed poster on my wall.

Cool, y'all are only 4 blocks away. As long as he's not an Eagles fan, send him on over.

Lifelong Eagles fan here. I guess I'm not invited.

Anything to keep us out of the sun.
