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.”
The 2024 ship will welcome Dethklok aboard for their first performance at sea, as well as support from Chimaira who has hardly toured in the past five years. Another monumental performance will come from Poison The Well, who will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album You Come Before You in 2024. The complete lineup includes:
