Standout Moment(s):
In the US, it’s becoming more difficult and more expensive for international bands to secure visas to tour, and even then, there’s the question of scale: Will the venues be large enough? Or too small to make the trip financially viable? The challenges are constant. That’s why festivals like 70000Tons matter. They give artists a rare opportunity to reach metalheads from around the world, removing much of the usual friction and replacing it with four days of nonstop music. It’s also why Metal Insider continues to support the festival and make every effort to attend; we clearly can’t get enough. Which brings us to Subway To Sally. Now making their fourth appearance on the cruise, the band is familiar to veteran cruisers while still serving as a gateway for fresh cruisers discovering their distinctive take on medieval metal. With engaging arrangements and commanding performances, they made it impossible not to catch both of their sets.

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.
