The masterminds behind the annual Good Things Festival and many of the biggest heavy metal, alternative, punk and hardcore tours, Destroy All Lines, are the ideal organisation to put something as epic as a metal cruise on the live music calendar.

The idea of a music festival at sea isn’t anything new, with many similar festival cruises running across the globe, including the famed Headbangers Boat and 70000 Tons of Metal, two of the most popular music cruises.

Hellbound takes place from Thursday, October 22, to Sunday, October 25. Sign up to the Destroy All Lines mail list here to be kept up to date with all the details regarding this new festival.
