Lamb of God are taking Headbangers Boat to Europe, with the metal cruise set to sail from Southampton to La Coruña, Spain, on 27–31 May 2028. The four-night voyage aboard Norwegian Jewel will feature two Lamb of God performances alongside an initial line-up drawn from across the heavy music scene.
The official event website bills the trip as the cruise’s fifth voyage and its inaugural European edition. Paleface Swiss, Bleed From Within, Kublai Khan TX, Shadows Fall and Heriot are the first supporting artists confirmed, with further names still to come on the organiser’s line-up page.

Two Lamb of God sets and more beyond the stage
According to the official experience guide, Lamb of God will play two shows with a different setlist at each. The guide does not list the songs for either show. The programme also includes a conversation and audience Q&A with frontman Randy Blythe, plus drummer Art Cruz’s “Heavy in the Mix” DJ appearance.
Bassist John Campbell will be involved in the cruise’s poker tournament, while the wider programme includes metal trivia, karaoke and a fan merchandise swap. The organiser says details of tournament entry will follow closer to sailing. These activities sit alongside the concerts and the visit to the Galician port.
When cabin booking opens
The booking FAQ sets out several stages before the public sale. Guests who sailed in 2026 are allocated booking times for 12–16 November 2026. The next presale round runs from 17–19 November, with previous cruisers prioritised ahead of new guests; its registration deadline is 15 November.
A final presale booking stage follows on 20 November, with registration closing on 18 November. Public booking is scheduled to open on 20 November 2026 at 19:00 GMT, or 14:00 Eastern Time.
Fans can register through the official presale page. Guests from the 2026 sailing are automatically included in the presale; other returning cruisers and new guests need to register. Sixthman notes that an assigned booking time does not guarantee a cabin will remain available, so the staged sale details matter for anyone planning to join the first European voyage.
