Here's What To Expect
High seas meet high decibels as Headbangers Boat celebrates its 5th voyage aboard the Norwegian Jewel!
Join Lamb of God and a ship full of metalheads for an unforgettable voyage embarking from Southampton, England, to La Coruña, Spain, on May 27 through 31, 2028. For five years, Headbangers Boat has brought the metal community together for face-melting performances, exclusive experiences, and days full of pure metal mayhem. Now, we’re turning the volume up once again for a milestone sailing you won’t want to miss! Whether you’re throwing horns in the crowd, raising a glass with fellow metalheads, or making memories between sets, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate five years of chaos on the high seas.
And for the first time ever, Headbangers Boat is heading to Spain! Step ashore in this vibrant coastal city of La Coruña in northwestern Spain, where historic streets, stunning Atlantic Ocean views, and delicious Galician cuisine await. Explore the charming old town, discover the iconic Tower of Hercules, stroll along the waterfront, or grab a bite and a drink before returning to the ship for another night of headbanging.
Five years in, the riffs just keep getting louder, the community is stronger, and the adventure is now bigger than ever as we head to Europe. Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Headbangers Boat and make history on our first-ever sailing to Spain.
The ocean is calling, the amps are waiting, and metal reigns supreme aboard Headbangers Boat!
