2025 Rock + Metal Festival + Cruise Guide

Welcome to our 2025 Rock + Metal Festival and Cruise Guide.

It’s your one-stop shopping of you’re looking to plan a music adventure, whether it be in the middle of a pit in a dusty field or on deck out at sea.

The time of year doesn’t matter. We can always use some live music in our lives. After all, science has already showed that our brains are more responsive to the live music experience than to listening to recorded music, so why not feed the brain a great experience.

Simply put, there’s a little something for everyone in this year’s festival and cruise guide.
