Correct you are. Even in the 40-ish band days of The Majesty we always had at least 2.

Remember that Johan had the 70k hole in his US solo tour (I can't remember what he was touring)? Coincidentally, last year was the first year IIRC that there was no bonus band.
This year we've got Carcass posting on Facebook, and the 70000 Tons marketing team has been egging people on on social media whenever they guess that Amon Amarth will be next. So, because math, Carcass will be no. 60 and Amon Amarth will be 61.
Your logic seems sound. I'm hoping your right.

The last band is just two sets of blasting Rick Astley over a loudspeaker in the theatre.

Now you're REALLY getting my hopes up. They better show the music videos too.

I had heard Candlemass was already on but just not yet announced. I guess we shall see whether I have good informants...sooon!

Downvod wrote:The basis is that they are the top requested band, and 70k has gone out of their way to intentionally tease an Amon Amarth announcement for 6 months. Everyone was predicting them as the first announcement for this year's cruise. Instead, 70k started with 4 other bands that start with the letter A, and then put clues in like 'the next artist is also from a Nordic country and starts with the letter 'A.' Then they keep making a point to say 'we will be back with more A's later on' when they don't do that for any other letter. They also keep messing with people on social media that are talking about Amon Amarth.
macamatic wrote:To me, the lack of a letter would seem to indicate that it would give away the surprise if we knew. That means it's either A or C. I went with A because I think people are reading too much into the Carcass thing. Since when do bands tease the cruise weeks before they're announced?

WizardBeast wrote:i was told they could not get paid the amount they wanted so they'd never do the cruise again. of course, people have said "never" and then if the right dollar amount happens, they might eat their words. This is just what a friend of the band told me for several years and he hasn't been wrong yet.
no candlemass is a bummer if that's true, they'd be my pick.
