Lamb of God Presents Headbangers Boat Returns in 2024

After an incredible maiden voyage this year, Lamb of God Headbangers Boat will return to sea October 28-November 1, 2024. The metal fest, presented by Sixthman, will sail from Miami, FL to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic aboard the Norwegian Gem. 

“The sense of connection and family that was shared on the Headbangers Boat has been overwhelming,” says Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton. “We were all reminded of the power that music has to bring joy, inspiration, and healing. We are beyond grateful to have had the chance to bring so many people from the heavy metal community together to share and celebrate this music we all love.”
