Hellbound Metal Cruise has officially locked in its lineup for the 2027 edition, confirming a stacked bill of Australian heavyweights and international guests for its second voyage on the high seas. Following last week’s announcement that the cruise would return from Sydney, organisers have now unveiled full artist and ticketing details for Hellbound II, set to sail from 17th - 21st January, 2027.

Headlining the four-night metal cruise are Byron Bay icons Parkway Drive, returning after overwhelming demand for the inaugural event. They are joined by an elite lineup of heavy music favourites including The Amity Affliction, Alpha Wolf, I Killed The Prom Queen and Thy Art Is Murder, cementing Hellbound II as one of the most ambitious heavy-focused cruise lineups ever assembled in Australia.

Also boarding the Carnival Splendor are Banks Arcade from New Zealand and Slovenian act Hei’An, alongside a deep supporting cast featuring Ocean Grove, RedHook, Mammal, Future Static, Mirrors, Gravemind, Heavensgate, Down and Out and Maple’s Pet Dinosaur. DJs Taking Back Saturday and stage host MANOV round out the entertainment, with immersive themed nights and curated activities also confirmed across the voyage.

Hellbound II follows a record-breaking debut cruise, which sold out in just seven minutes, making it the fastest sell-out in Choose Your Cruise’s history. Pre-sale tickets go live at 11am AEDT on 4th February, ahead of general sale at 11am AEDT on 5th February, with demand expected to be extremely high once again.
