3-NIGHT METAL CRUISE HELLBOUND SET FOR 2026 WITH PACKED LINE-UP
In 2026, prepare to GO TO HELL with Australia's first ever dedicated metal cruise HELLBOUND.
The boat will be rockin' and you'll wanna come knockin' next year, with HELLBOUND set to deliver an all-out, three-night floating heavy festival on the high seas! Promoted by CHOOSE YOUR CRUISE and DESTROY ALL LINES and bringing together the loudest bands and the wildest fans, HELLBOUND will transform a luxury cruise ship into the ultimate headbanger's paradise, departing from Sydney on Thursday 22 October in 2026 and, arriving back in Sydney on Sunday 25 October. With two uninterrupted days and three nights of festival programming and cruising, it'll be all hands-on deck for this once in a lifetime experience, also armed with a stacked lineup guaranteed to make even Captain Jack Sparrow weak at the knees.
Helming proceedings in 2026, HELLBOUND will be headlined by Aussie metal royalty, PARKWAY DRIVE, along with performances from POLARIS, NORTHLANE, THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, MAKE THEM SUFFER, IN HEARTS WAKE, BELLE HAVEN, BLOOM, CHEZ, DIAMOND CONSTRUCT, FUTURE STATIC, OCEAN SLEEPER, RELIQA, THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT, THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER, TO THE GRAVE and WINDWAKER.
And the festivities don't end there! With DJ sets, themed nights, artist-hosted experiences and non-stop metal-fuelled mayhem on the horizon for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, HELLBOUND will play home to 3,000 heavy music fans next October with something truly on offer for everyone on board. Combining the luxury of a cruise with riffs and moshpits galore, HELLBOUND's Carnival Splendor vessel will boast a custom-built main stage on the pool deck, an onboard fitness centre, Cloud 9 Spa and daily fitness classes - plus, your all-in-one ticket covers all entertainment, accommodation and food. Immerse yourself in gigs all day and night, party 'til all hours, or just take it all at your own pace, with multiple vantage points throughout three decks meaning you won't miss a thing. And take the headache out of sorting a designated driver - that's the captain's job!
Whether you're a fan of deathcore breakdowns, salivate over old school thrash, or love some progressive grooves, HELLBOUND is set to be the ultimate heavy experience on the high seas like no other. Prepare to sail into the abyss in 2026!
