𝐀 𝟑-𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

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!

One of Australia's most successful heavy music exports to date, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 have spent the past two decades carving out a formidable reputation that doesn't merely live up to the hype; it sets the hype on fire (often literally). With seven full-length albums, three back-to-back #1 ARIA records, six albums certified Gold in Australia, multiple ARIA Award wins, millions of streams, international chart success, and thousands of live performances worldwide, the journey from teenage metal underdogs in Byron Bay to a bona fide global phenomenon is the stuff of heavy metal legend; and a 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 live show is a spectacle difficult to forget for those who have witnessed the fire and ferocity over the years.

Whether headlining the likes of Wacken, Good Things Festival in Australia and So What?! Festival, touring with Lamb of God, Soulfly and Killswitch Engage, or selling out some of their biggest shows to date with their 20 year anniversary Australian headline run last year, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 are ravenous and riveting innovators in a live setting, not only set to make history in 2026 by headlining 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃, but also in 2025 via their entirely sold out one-off live performance this June, performing with a full symphony orchestra against the backdrop of a fellow Australian and international icon: the Sydney Opera House.

Balancing relatability with an explosive blend of melodic metalcore, lush post rock, electronic flourishes and beyond, 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒 have faced and channelled life's angst, frustrations and despair through their music since first forming in 2012. In command of three studio albums, including their most recent outing Fatalism which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, won Best Independent Heavy Album at the 2024 AIR Awards and was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album at the 2024 ARIA Music Awards, 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒 have also ticked off sold-out headline tours of Australia, huge runs across Europe, the UK and North America, and unforgettable festival appearances, including their debut at Knotfest Australia earlier this year, and supports with Bring Me The Horizon, While She Sleeps, Spiritbox and many more.

One of the most dynamic forces in the modern metalcore scene, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 effortlessly fuse heavy savagery with techno, drum and bass, and expansive arrangements. With multiple ARIA Award wins under their belts and six studio albums, including their #1 charting 2022 outing Obsidian, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄's live show has seen them enamour both as headliners and/or supporting some of the giants of the scene, repeatedly praised for their energetic and enthralling stage presence and ever-expanding back catalogue. And repping the hard rock flag, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐋𝐘 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓 ravenously returned to the airwaves and live scene since announcing their reunion back in 2017.

And that's still not all! Adding to the festivities in 2026 will be 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐉𝐬, along with your official 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 stage host 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐕, one of Australia's leading open-format DJs and MCs.

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!
