HERIOT will play the fifth edition of Lamb of God’s Headbangers Boat when the festival cruise reaches Europe from 27 to 31 May 2028. The voyage will leave Southampton, United Kingdom, and finish in La Coruña, Spain. The line-up also includes Paleface Swiss, Bleed From Within, Kublai Khan TX and Shadows Fall.
The organisers announced the first artists on 30 October 2026. Presale tickets will be available from 12 November, followed by general sales on 20 November 2026.
Five days from Southampton
Alongside the concerts, Lamb of God will offer activities with its members. Vocalist Randy Blythe will host Q&A sessions, drummer Art Cruz will play DJ sets and bassist John Campbell will take part in a poker tournament. The event accompanies Lamb of God’s tenth album, “Into Oblivion”, which was released earlier in 2026.
Debbie Gough’s dual role
Guitarist and vocalist Debbie Gough joined HERIOT in 2019, after previously playing with Birmingham band Dead Hands. She shares the vocals while playing guitar in the Swindon metalcore group. Her arrival changed the band’s songwriting and dynamic, leading to the current line-up with guitarist Erhan Alman, bassist and vocalist Jake Packer and drummer Julian Gage.
Heriot released the EPs “Violence”, “World Collapse” and “Profound Morality” before issuing their debut album, “Devoured by the Mouth of Hell”, on 25 September 2024.
