The A band, if it is Agalloch I would be mega-jealous! Could be Anthrax maybe. Agalloch were turned down by Roadburn Festival this year. They offered themselves to play it, but was turned down for some bizarre reason. Something familiar about that '7' to me also. 2023 cruise Number of Guests: 2761 I...
In 2 days from now it will 20 days to go and 2 bands will drop.
18 days to go, 1 more band.
16 days to go, 3 bands.
15 days to go, 1 biggish band.
then silence, then 10 days to go, 4 unknown bands thrown in on 1 dispatch.
Aborted news aside, 24 days to sailing and hang on.....hang the heck on! 37 bands only so far, still...C'mon Skip! Like, there is not much time for sailors to listen to these next bands before they embark upon Florida. Historically, have we seen the band drought like this, this close to sailing? Fro...
Down to 40 days left. I see 18 categories of rooms left. Unless these are taken by the remaining bands waiting to be announced, I don’t see them all getting sold. Maybe this means we’ll have beer discounts onbroad again. :givebeer: Yeah! I was having a look last night myself. Curious. Also what, 17...
Thought I'd drop by and see who the latest bands added were. As I haven't been here since August. Then, laughed out loud at zero bands since August. What was I thinking! I wonder if the 'A' band has been wondering what's the delay as well. I know....I know...it's nothing new. Same ol' Skip and his w...
As the website was loading ....I saw 'A Giant Descends Upon The Caribbean' before the band logo came up. I thought for 3 seconds there.....ooh K..... could it be? King....D Then Kataklysm ---oh. Is that all. A weird headline to use for a band that is not a giant, but ok. Nothing against Kataklysm. I...
Sailors, the lull may be 10 days now, but it's 201 days to sail date.
So, probably tomorrow, we'll get the 200 days to sail....update with fireworks in the picture.
Maybe the day after that, the next T band will be upon us.
13 requests Nervosa, 11 Warkings and 9 requests Aborted. In total we now have 9,080 requests from 208 different people, and 2,657 different acts. Note that ORANGE are bands that have NOT been on previously, and RED will be bands that are ruled out already, and GREEN will be for announced bands! 66 ...
Ok Skip No more mucking about, the time to add Be'Lakor is 2024. No more excuses! https://label.napalmrecords.com/templates/yootheme/cache/belakor_band_logo_web_white_napalm_records-db31872a.png Just saw them in Melbourne on Feb 24th @Maxx Watts venue. It was an almost sold out show. They put on an ...
Yeah early January was great for us too for the school thing - meant it was in the middle of holidays not at the start of the new school term. But the negative was, it was a bitch for finding cheaper flights. I think its fair to say that late January/early February will be the go once more as that ...
2024 Wish list Man, this is harder than I thought this would be. 2024 is going to be a big year for me for a few reasons. I wonder though if the cruise will have the set dates of Jan 30th. That does not work out for me to well as that is right at the time I go back to work after a 6 week summer brea...
And.....just like that cruise is over! That went fast! The anticipation, the waiting, the mood and vibes, the chats. Always so interesting. Then the build up, the codes, the booking. I hate not going. I spoke to one good friend who was on 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 said he has zero interest in ever g...
55 bands and 5 + 1 to come? 1 band outside of Europe/North America out of 55. Nothing at all from the southern hemisphere. Nothing from Asia, India region or Africa. Unless I missed something. It might sound like a total whinge here, but I just find it odd. Ya know? We come from all corners of the g...
Cannot believe there is a band called Dear Mother...... :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyway, so... 12 days to go. 10 bands left to fill. Will we finally see Be'lakor added for B? No excuses anymore! Ecuador is the only country outside of Europe or North America with the bands so far. No Aussies, yet. No Kiwis,...
So far the average I'd say is most of us have 7 and above out of 10. I now also wonder, are we going to see any bands outside of North America/Europe. We have nothing from the southern hemisphere added to the line up yet. Surely there's some band! Not expecting glam rock from Fiji - but... Unless I'...
18 newbies so far: Novembre Oceans of Slumber Feuerschwanz Abysmal Dawn Fractal Universe Decrepit Birth The Crown Cryptosis Iron Savior Batushka Elvenking Cancer Nothgard Deathless Legacy Empress Hei'an Isole Eleine For me this lineup is probably 9/10 at the moment. Pretty damn incredible, and trul...
Deathless Legacy was indeed unexpected. Now for Frozen Crown, Skip! What bands are NEW to the cruise? Would be cool to see that list. Mr Stats? Cheers! Ha! Liking the line up so far. A few 'no surprises' as well. Eleine - never heard of them until just now. Out of 10, how do we all rate the line up ...
I'm looking at the bands so far and wondering which, if any are first timers onbroad. Only band so far that has never been on 70k (and/or BTH) previously is Novembre. Interesting. Also, Novembre haven't released anything new since 2016. Also interesting, no A-E bands yet as stated up above. Just ch...
I'm looking at the bands so far and wondering which, if any are first timers onbroad. I missed the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 cruises, so they could have been on those. I just don't have the energy to look those ones up. O is ....Over Kill probably, my guess. But if, it is Opeth......well....you'd th...
Mind you though, in 2020 that cruise was Jan 8-11th. Doing the math with that, I....lost count already. Dallas! Step in :lol: I suck at Math. Yeah as far as DATES go, we are close to 2020 cruise levels. As far as DAYS TO SAILING go, we are still "better" Key early dates for 2020 cruise 24...
Sailors, land...uh, maybe news ahoy? If we may rewind to 2019, the boat news finally hit us all on October 10th that year, for the 2020 cruise. Are we going to see the same this year, this October 10th for 2023? Hmmm.... We are now at 116 days out from cruise day. Mind you though, in 2020 that cruis...
I was all bummed out the ship was sailing just 'up the road' to Bahamas. But the way Pellaz put it and the laid back atmosphere of Bimini makes me think of Turks & Caicos - just how relaxing it all is there that now I have a better attitude towards this event. I've never been to the Bahamas. I s...
Of all the places we could sail to in the Caribbean and uh....this is it? I guess the ship will just aimlessly float at sea until day 3 when it's island day. https://70000tons.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/70K2023_DESTINATION_ANNOUNCE.jpg Like Dallas, I've also taken the plunge and decided to ditch...
Ha! I was kinda expecting a 200 days to sailing post. Well, no surprise there. Interesting to read above in prev posts where sailors think this cruise will sail off to. I was looking at a map of the Caribbean and pondering this. Can't wait to see where it's going to go this time. I reckon at this st...
Hey Sailors In 2019 on October 10th, we finally had 2020 cruise news. I was looking at the site these last few days and pondering if we were gonna get at least a sign of life from Skip. Anything! If there was to be a sail date, surely it's too late now to sail at Jan 2022? This leads to many other q...
Heya dry sailors! Hope you're all Ok out there in the world. Sucks to see blip all going on here. Psycho Las Vegas and Bloodstock, that one in Gdansk Poland and some others just happened around the globe. Where I am right now, it's grim, glum and grey (8 weeks into lockdown). Let's have a distractio...
Unless I'm mistaken, this music festival event is the only one in the world where there has been ZERO communication to fans. Sailors are sitting around wondering WTF? I've seen updates from Hellfest and Roadburn to name a couple, but here, it's crickets. On the Farcebook page there's the 'remember w...
31 days to sail date.....oh wait...yeah, right! Maybe we're gonna hear, see and know nothing until the sail date. Silly. So silly. Maybe on Xmas day we'll get news. HA! Why keep us all guessing? Why give us all the silent treatment? We are what makes you. Without us, there is no cruise. We deserve t...
