Headbanger’s Boat 2026 Lineup Complete with Addition of All Shall Perish, Kylesa, and More

It may feel like forever away, given how much January’s felt like a fucking decade already… but this October 30 to November 3, headbangers from all over are going to get on a boat and bang their heads on this year’s Headbanger’s Boat. Earlier today, the cruise’s organizers announced the final bands to make it onto the bill and boy howdy, this list is looking like it’s going to get loud on the high seas.

According to today’s announcement, Lamb Of God’s cruise will now feature All Shall Perish, Death Angel, Kylesa, Harm’s Way, Soilent Green, and Chained Saint. Adding that to the list of already announced acts like The Dillinger Escape Plan, GWAR, and baby, you’ve got a stew going.

The full list of acts for this year’s Headbanger’s Boat is as follows:

The Headbanger’s Boat is set to take place from October 30 to November 3, 2026, during which time attendees will sail from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas on the Norwegian Jewel. This year’s Headbanger’s Boat will once again have Lamb of God headlining — it is their gig, after all.

On top of all those shows over the course of a few days, the cruise will also feature some fun side action, like special Q&As, a DJ set by Lamb of God drummer Art Cruz, a poker tournament with John Campbell… oh and it’ll be Halloween while you’re out on the sea, so that will definitely make for a wild and fun time.
