Keep your eyes open for the Jolly Roger flag - ShipRocked has announced its artist lineup for a Greek mythology-themed 2026 cruise tour.
The Carnival Horizon will set sail in January from the 25th to the 31st, voyaging from Miami to Half Moon Cay to the new private Celebration Key port on Grand Bahama Island, and ending in Nassau where Halestorm will deliver a special finale performance.
Joining the voyage will be over 25 acts including: Motionless In White, Knocked Loose, Wage War, Awolnation, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Starset, Sleep Theory, From Ashes To New, Kittie, ’68, Archetypes Collide, aurorawave, The Barbarians of California, Dead Poet Society, DeathByRomy, Dinosaur Pile-Up, The Funeral Portrait, Holy Wars, House Of Protection, Lowlives, Not Enough Space, Shepherd’s Reign, UnityTX, Zero 9:36 and ShipRocked’s all-star jam act The Stowaways.
According to Blabbermouth, Halestorm commented on the upcoming voyage: “We are so proud to announce the return of the STORM to ShipRocked! HALESTORM, that is! Get freaky…pack your shit and bring your horns…and get wet and wild with us on the final night of ShipRocked!”
Chris Motionless of Motionless In White also expressed excitement.
“We can't believe ShipRocked is trusting us to co-captain this rig, but goddamn The Pirates of the Caribbean are gonna look like a joke when we're done with it,” Motionless stated. “Very honored to be back at sea with our ShipRocked family!”
ShipRocked producer and creator Alan Koenig of the festival’s parent company ASK4 Entertainment told Blabbermouth, "As we prepare for the epic 16th sailing of ShipRocked, celebrating the ancient Greek gods of the sky, sea, travel, food, wine, music, and more, we are beyond excited to rock hard and vacation harder with an incredible lineup of music artists — who are all gods in our eyes!"
In addition to live performances, ShipRocked will feature “a full slate of artist hosted events, contests, games and other wet and wild activities,” according to the official ShipRocked website. Tickets, pricing, and other relevant information can be found there.
