🤘🏼 I love 70000 Tons of Metal 🤘🏼

The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise

70000 Tons of Metal (officially stylized as 70000TONS OF METAL) is an annual heavy metal music festival that takes place on board a cruise ship. The event is a five-day festival, including one shore day at a select Caribbean destination.

Swiss concert promoter Andy Piller is the initiator and organizer of 70000 Tons of Metal. As a young adult, he began to organize concerts in his hometown of Flums, Switzerland, which later became his profession. Piller had the idea to hold a metal festival on a ship in 2006, when he observed passing cruise ships from his balcony. In the approximately four-year preparatory phase Piller went on several regular cruises, found investors who supported the project with grants in the millions and founded the company Ultimate Music Cruises, of which he is managing director (CEO).There was a rumor in 2010 that 70000 Tons of Metal was planned to take place only once. Piller responded that "[he had] not invested four years to make this a one-time-thing" and that "there will be a next edition and almost certainly many more afterwards.
