the ship. We want to make sure that you'll be able to see each and
every band on board perform an entire show, so no two bands will perform
at the same time twice.

What sort of activities will be planned on the ship besides live shows?
We are working with the artists to have them each be a part of something
special on board. Since this is one of the most intimate Heavy Metal
festival to ever take place, we feel it's important for those taking
part to experience things they wouldn't otherwise be a part of. Music
workshops, autograph signing sessions, fan friendly events and other
forms of non-music entertainment are being planned as we type this.
