The Getaway Plan ProfileThe second iteration of the Hellbound metal cruise, aptly named Hellbound II, returns to Sydney in January 2027. And its line-up just got bigger.
In case you missed it: after the inaugural edition of Hellbound sold out in minutes and proved punters want more heavy music on boats, Hellbound II arrives just three months later.
Once again headlined by Byron Bay heavy-hitters Parkway Drive, the 2027 line-up is stacked with homegrown talent, including The Amity Affliction, I Killed The Prom Queen, Thy Art Is Murder, Alpha Wolf, and many others.
Beyond the live music, organisers confirmed that Hellbound II will feature immersive events, themed nights, and curated activities crafted specifically for heavy music fans.
With just a few months to go until the next Carnival Splendor sets sail, organisers have confirmed that The Getaway Plan and Melrose Avenue have been added to the bill.
The second voyage departs from Sydney on Sunday, 17 January, for four nights aboard the Carnival Splendor – there’s now an extra night onboard, plus a stop at Tangalooma on Moreton Island.
Punters can also get their hands on special discounted cabin prices for new bookings, so head to the Hellbound Cruise 2 website for more details.
Reduced cabin pricing is available for a limited time. The prices are:
Interior cabins: From $1,840 per twin-share cabin
Oceanview cabins: From $1,980 per twin-share cabin
Balcony cabins: From $2,380 per twin-share cabin
Suites: From $3,705 per twin-share cabin
Prices are in Australian dollars
Parkway Drive, Polaris, The Butterfly Effect, Make Them Suffer, Sunk Loto, Ocean Sleeper, Hands Like Houses, and many others performed on the debut Hellbound Cruise last month, with Inertia’s Julian Latouche replacing Jamie Hails for Polaris sets on the boat and earning the title “King Julian.”
A press release also highlights the voyage’s community aspect. Make Them Suffer played Guess the Riff trivia with punters, while Bloom performed a set in the ship’s casino and DREGG shared drinks with fans.
