Get the full lineup and ticketing details for the 2019 Monsters of Rock Cruise.

The lineup for the 2018 Monsters of Rock Cruise has been revealed.

A number of rock's elder statesmen will spend some time on the high seas next spring for the 2014 Monsters of Rock cruise. Though the full lineup and details are still coming together for the event, at present the bill features Tesla, Ratt and Cinderella leading the way.

Hard rock veterans Tesla recently released 'Twisted Wires,' a collection featuring reimagined versions of some of their older songs, plus some new tracks. Included on the album are a few cuts from a 2005 recording session with original co-guitarist Tommy Skeoch...

The fest, held annually at Merriweather Post Pavilion, was expanded to two nights for the first time ever to include a special Kix-Off party...

Tesla's J Street Recorders studio in Sacramento, Calif. burned down last Thursday. The building was reportedly owned and operated by bassist Brian Wheat, and it was torched in the early morning hours. Despite the raging blaze, most of the band's memorabilia and instruments were salvaged...
