Standout Moment(s):
Germany’s Kissin’ Dynamite are the package deal for the cruise. Between humor and heavy riffs, they have that 80s nostalgia factor mixed with something else, and their 2024 record, Back with a Bang!, solidified their inevitable return to the metal seas. This time around, they held a Pool Deck set in daylight, giving the chance to witness the band’s charm and stamina fully. However, we were there for the grungier look, inside the Ice Rink theater, with blue and green hues, and all. It was both fun and exciting.

What is the Artist Spotlight?

Well, it’s more than a review of their performance; as 70000tons goes, each band is a headliner, and we treat each one as such, giving them their own spread, discussing who they are and what they’ve been up to since the cruise. Each spotlight coincides with any updates from 70000tons organizers (if any), leading to days before setting sail. An extensive coverage like no other.
