Maintaining the spirit of creating unforgettable experiences and exclusive performances, the 2026 edition of 70000TONS OF METAL , The World's Largest Heavy Metal Cruise, will host the first live performance of Vice Business Only ( VBO ). The band is a newly formed project by Francesco Cavalieri , best known as the vocalist of the Italian power metal band Wind Rose , and electronic artist Simone Giusti.
Departing in January 2026 from Miami, Florida, to Nassau, Bahamas, the 4-day floating festival will host VBO on its international stage, marking the band's official live debut alongside 59 other artists from the global metal scene.
Although details about VBO have been intentionally kept limited, the project signals a new creative direction for Cavalieri, whose work with Wind Rose earned him recognition for his powerful vocal presence and theatrical performance style. With VBO, Cavalieri explores new musical territories, offering a sound distinct from his previous work, but still grounded in the intensity and character-driven narrative for which he is known.
Cavalieri will also perform separately with Wind Rose, returning to 70000TONS OF METAL 2026 after the band's well-received previous performance on the cruise. Fans will have the unique opportunity to see both sides of Cavalieri's musical identity in an epic setting.
