“The sense of connection and family that was shared on the Headbangers Boat has been overwhelming,” Mark Morton says. “We were all reminded of the power that music has to bring joy, inspiration, and healing. We are beyond grateful to have had the chance to bring so many people from the heavy metal community together to share and celebrate this music we all love. And it doesn’t end here! We are thrilled to announce Headbangers Boat 2…”
Pre-sale signups are open now, with a deadline of Sunday, November 19 at 11:59 PM ET. A public on-sale will follow on Tuesday, November 21 at 2 PM ET.
Lamb of God will also tour with Pantera in 2024, including an NYC show at Madison Square Garden on February 22, and they’re on the lineup for Las Vegas’ Sick New World in April.
Meanwhile, after a man went overboard from this year’s edition of Headbangers Boat Cruise, Lamb of God shared a statement, writing, “It was shocking that a joyous occasion could so quickly turn tragic. While we don’t know all of the specifics, we know every single person on that boat is part of our family, and we witnessed everyone onboard experience grief at the loss of one of our own. We couldn’t have been more proud of how the metal community on board rallied together to support each other and celebrate heavy metal in the only way we know how. This music community truly is just that – a community.”
