In addition to the main lineup, Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton will perform with his solo band, and an all-star jam session is also planned for the cruise. Headbangers Boat 2026 isn’t limited to metal performances alone, either. Adding to the chaos and entertainment, Clownvis and Dave Hill have been booked to deliver comedy sets throughout the voyage.
The festival will take place aboard the Norwegian Jewel, departing from Miami, Florida on October 30, 2026, and returning on November 3, 2026, with a stop at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. Get your tickets here.
