If you missed out on a cabin for the first instalment, you might wanna start stretching your clicking finger now \u2013 because Hellbound<\/a> is officially cruising back onto the calendar.<\/p>\n Following the instant, under-ten-minute sell-out of its maiden voyage, Australia\u2019s first dedicated heavy metal cruise has announced a second run, with Hellbound II locked in for 17\u201321 January 2027 aboard the Carnival Splendor<\/em>.<\/p>\n Yep, the pit is once again hitting the high seas.<\/p>\n Promoters Choose Your Cruise have confirmed the return comes directly off the back of overwhelming demand for the inaugural Hellbound, which is set to go down this October 2026 and sold out faster than anything in the company\u2019s 15-year history.<\/p>\n For those playing catch-up: Hellbound is exactly what it sounds like \u2013 a floating metal festival slash community slash recovery test, bringing together heavy bands, die-hard fans and an immersive onboard experience that leans fully into metal culture.<\/p>\n The first Hellbound already raised eyebrows with a ridiculously stacked Aussie lineup, headlined by Parkway Drive<\/a>, alongside Polaris, Northlane, The Butterfly Effect, Make Them Suffer, In Hearts Wake, Windwaker, Ocean Sleeper, Future Static and more \u2013 all moshing it out on a custom-built pool deck stage somewhere in international waters.<\/p>\n Hellbound II promises to crank things even harder.<\/p>\n While the 2027 lineup won\u2019t be revealed until Monday, February 2, organisers have confirmed the return cruise will once again feature:<\/p>\n Multiple stages across the ship<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Immersive events and themed nights<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Artist-hosted experiences<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n And a port stop at Tangalooma, where punters can briefly swap circle pits for dolphin feeding, snorkelling shipwrecks and sand tobogganing before getting back to business<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Key dates for your calendar:<\/p>\n Lineup announced:<\/strong> Monday 2 February<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Presale:<\/strong> Wednesday 4 February<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n General sale:<\/strong> Thursday 5 February<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Given how quickly the first one vanished, it\u2019s safe to assume Hellbound II won\u2019t be hanging around either.<\/p>\n Metal festivals have conquered paddocks, warehouses, stadiums and now \u2013 officially \u2013 the high seas. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to throw down to breakdowns while the ship gently rocks beneath your feet, Hellbound II is your next chance.<\/p>\n Sharpen your cutlass. Guard your cabin.
