Metalheads, prepare to set sail once again. Lamb of God’s Headbangers Boat is returning for four nights of nonstop heavy metal aboard the Norwegian Jewel, cruising from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, from October 30 through November 3, 2026.
More than just a cruise, Headbangers Boat transforms the open ocean into a floating metal festival packed with legendary performances, fan experiences, and around-the-clock entertainment. Alongside multiple sets from Lamb of God, this year’s lineup features Zakk Sabbath, The Dillinger Escape Plan, In Flames, GWAR, The Haunted, and many more, delivering relentless riffs and chaos from morning until late into the night.
When the bands aren’t on stage, the action doesn’t stop. Guests can take part in artist Q&As, metal karaoke, costume contests, arm-wrestling battles, poolside belly-flop competitions, and a variety of Halloween-themed surprises throughout the voyage.
The Norwegian Jewel serves as the ultimate floating metal fortress, offering countless dining options, more than eight bars, a full-service spa, and a casino. During the stop at Great Stirrup Cay, passengers can swap the mosh pit for crystal-clear waters, island excursions, and beachside drinks before heading back onboard for another evening of thunderous performances.
Headbangers Boat isn’t just a music festival—it’s four straight days of heavy metal immersion surrounded by nothing but open ocean. Cabins are available now at headbangersboat.com.
I saw that Consequence is offering a chance for you to win one cabin for two on the Headbangers Boat. I don’t have any association with them, but wanted to share the opportunity! Click here for details!
