Rockers, grab your sailor hats and join us for this special nautical edition of An Afternoon of Rock as we Rock The Boat and cruise along the East London Waterways dancing to all your fave rock and metal hits with your fellow head-banging shipmates.
Also, Rock Gods Metallica are playing the London Stadium (right opposite where we set sail) so it could provide you with the perfect little pre-party for any of you might be going to the gig.
Setting off from right in front of the London Stadium, we'll be sailing along the canals of the Stratford Waterways via Hackney Wick, Lee Valley and back in time for doors (currently being advertised as 19:00)
Whether you're going to the gig or not, come and rock with us. There will be A fully stocked bar on board for you to buy drinks.
**As with every other An Afternoon of Rock event this is strictly for over 30s only. Photo ID MUST be produced, even if you have purchased an advance ticket!**
The Rock Boat will depart from Stratford Waterfront Pontoon, Queen Elizabeth Park, which is directly opposite the London Stadium where Metallica are playing. (A map will be emailed to all ticket holders a few days before the event, but meet up is on the waterfront directly in front of the new East Bank development of the UAL, V&A, BBC and Sadlers Wells buildings) Follow the postcode to E20 2AR and 'Aquatics Walk' and look for the boats parked up. They're next to the novelty Swan Boats if that helps?
