The 2026 edition of the heavy metal cruise 70000 Tons Of Metal is scheduled for January 29 to February 2, departing from Miami and heading to Nassau, Bahamas. However, recent forecasts predict strong winds in Nassau over the weekend, leading organizers to change the itinerary.
Originally planned for Saturday, the port call in Nassau has been moved to Friday to avoid the adverse weather conditions. This change is intended to ensure attendees can still enjoy the destination despite the storm forecast.
The adjustment has affected the planning of the Running Order, the schedule coordinating performances to prevent conflicts among bands sharing crew and musicians. Organizers are working to create a new schedule to accommodate the updated itinerary.
Confirmed bands set to perform on the cruise include notable acts such as Amorphis, Dark Tranquillity, Kamelot, Soilwork, and many others. The event remains on track as the world’s largest heavy metal cruise, promising a diverse lineup for fans.
