THE CRUISE SHOW MUST GO ON!
MONSTERS OF ROCK: OPERATION MONSTER BEACH STARRING ALICE COOPER REPOSITIONS TO TWO ALL-INCLUSIVE LAND-BASED RESORTS
Heavy metal fans arenโt going to let a worldwide pandemic stand in the way of their fun.ย With cruising at a virtual standstill, Monsters of Rock, which for a decade has been the ultimate seagoing celebration of the explosive world of hard rock and metal, is taking the party ashore!
Originally scheduled to sail in Feb. 2021 from Fort Lauderdale aboard Royal Caribbeanโs Independence of the Seas, the Monsters are saying โland hoโ and taking over two all-inclusive (yes, that means unlimited booze) Punta Cana resorts–Breathless and Now Onyxโfrom May 26 to 31, 2021.ย Both resorts share the same beachfront location and Monsters Of Rock guests are welcome throughout the properties, including all restaurants, bars, pools, and other amenities–sort of like a cruise without going anywhere.
Breathless and Now Onyx might offer chic, contemporary suites, all-inclusive dining and drinks, free wi-fi and breathtaking beaches but, take it from me, these heavy metal maniacs couldnโt care less.ย As with any music cruise, itโs ALL about the bands–and what a monster lineup we have!
Master of shock rock, Alice Cooper, will ignite the stage with the explosive and theatrical performances that have made him a metal icon for the past five decades, and will debut material from his upcoming album Detroit Stories.ย Other confirmed acts include Lit, Winger, LA Guns, KIX, Great White, Pat Travers, H.E.A.T., Vixen, Eclipse, Killer Dwarfs, Black Nโ Blue, Mike Tramp, Bullet Boys, Beasto Blando, Pink Cream 69, Faster Pussycat, Electric Boys, Joel Hoekstra, XYZ, Little Caesar, and Signal 13, with more to be announced.ย Artists will also participate in a host of interactive events like Artist Q&A sessions, Gong Show Karaoke, โSo You Think You Can Shredโ Challenge, Cooking with Rock Stars, Name that Monster Song, and more.
Because it simply wouldnโt be Monsters of Rock without a glimpse of beaches and blue water, many of the custom-built stages will be surfside and around the resortsโ numerous swimming pools.
Monsters of Rock: Operation Monster Beach has landed!ย It promises to be loud, crazy, and the ultimate fantasy camp for any hard-rockinโ music enthusiast!
