Bands

Alestorm are Scotland's loudest bunch of drunken pirates and have been blasting out pirate metal since 2004. Their shows are like a stranded party with ducks, rum and total chaos. Imagine Jack Sparrow with a keytar and a hangover – that's exactly what it's like. They've hijacked the charts and festivals by turning every audience into a pirate crew. There's no smooth sailing on this cruise, just cannon fire from beer and riffs.

A band so furious it could easily drown out the roar of a spinning ship propeller? Sailors, stand at attention — Danko Jones are taking command now. The Canadian Duracell Rockers bring their latest album “Leo Rising” on board, pushing the pool deck to overflowing and the theater to its electrical limits. Full throttle sea state — overdrive engaged!

Destruction have been blasting away since 1982 and still hit harder than any ship's cannon. As part of the ‘Big Teutonic Four’, they practically wrote the thrash metal handbook themselves. Their riffs are so sharp they could cut through any anchor chain. Decades on tour have turned them into an indestructible metal warship. When Destruction get going, even Poseidon grabs a beer and jumps into the mosh pit.

The Baboon Show have been causing a frenzy since 2003 and are Sweden's punk rock torpedoes. Their mix of pure energy and political explosiveness crashes like a broadside into an enemy fleet. Frontwoman Cecilia has the stage presence of a captain in a storm, steering the chaos. They have laid clubs and festivals in ruins and sweat worldwide. On board, this cruise will turn into a mutiny full of punk rock madness.

Anyone who thinks that kisses at sea are mostly about farewells is mistaken. Let’s welcome the Kyiv Rockers around frontwoman Julija Sanina on board. The Hardkiss stand for explosive live performances and a truly addictive take on heavy guitar music. And in the end, of course, there will still be a bittersweet kiss goodbye when the band leaves the ship.

You can never have enough fire aboard our cozy Metal cruiser. And if any band knows their way around flames, it’s the Swiss Hard Rock witches Burning Witches. With Hard Rock straight out of the golden 1980s, they’ll ignite not only the Pool Stage but also the hearts of every battle-vest-wearing Cruisader on board. 

Victory have been rocking since the early 80s and have never taken their foot off the gas. Their hard rock anthems are made for raising fists, spilling drinks and screaming until dawn. They've shared the stage with legends and still sound like a battleship at full speed. No frills, just straight-ahead riffs that crash in like storm waves. Victory don't play concerts – they take the stage and tear it apart.

Over the years, the Full Metal Cruise has become a gathering place for legends. Often honored during those infamous karaoke nights, Adrian Vandenberg has shared the stage with icons like Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne, and Kiss themselves. Now the guitar hero is ready to conquer the seven seas with you and carve his own place into the folklore of the Full Metal Cruise. With a special „My Years In Whitesnake“ set he is shredding for your collective memory.

Ozzyfied celebrate the legendary Ozzy Osbourne with passion and attitude. Fronted by Henning Wanner, the band brings that special Ozzy feeling to every stage, delivering a performance that stays true to the original while infusing it with their own energy. Their shows bring generations of rock fans together and they have amassed one of the most loyal fan bases among the metalheads of the W:O:A universe!

Amid all the idyllic moments life at sea offers, sometimes you want things to get heavier? With a serious list to starboard — and we really mean serious impact here? Luckily Hiraes, led by frontwoman Britta Görtz, are true experts in that department. Cruisaders, we hope your insurance is up to date — a few prayers to Poseidon won’t be enough once this pit erupts. This Death Metal storm won’t pass our ship anytime soon — and honestly, we wouldn’t want it to.
