The ShipRocked cruise has unveiled its 2024 lineup, featuring I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Code Orange, Highly Suspect, Beartooth, Badflower, and more. The rockin’ boat ride sets sail from Miami on February 4th.
Along the way, ShipRocked will stop at three ports, including Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Bimini, The Bahamas; and Grand Cayman, before returning to Miami on February 10th. Amazingly, staterooms for ShipRocked 2024 sold out within three days of going on sale months ago, long before the lineup was announced. Those holding out hope to attend can add their name to an official waiting list.
In addition to the aforementioned acts, ShipRocked 2024 will also feature lack Stone Cherry, BRKN Love, Cassyette, Catch Your Breath, Crobot, Dayseeker, Dead Poet Society, Dorothy, Eva Under Fire, Fire From The Gods, From Ashes To New, Fury In Few, Hot Crazy, Kid Kapichi, Luna Aura, Point North, Scene Queen, Sleep Theory, The Warning, Them Dirty Roses, Tigercub, Winona Fighter, and Yonaka, plus special performances by Andy Wood Trio, Johnny Stevens of Highly Suspect, Josh Katz & Joey Morrow of Badflower, Keith Wallen of Breaking Benjamin and Matt James of Blacktop Mojo.
As is the case every year, an all-star covers band has been put together for the cruise, under the name The Stowaways. This year, The Stowaways are comprised of Andy Wood Trio, Angela Lese (Fingernails Are Pretty), Blake Allison (Devour The Day), Chad Nicefield (former Wilson), Elias Soriano (Nonpoint), Emily Armstrong (Dead Sara), Hayley Cramer (Pop Evil), Jamie Madrox (Twiztid), Jasen Rauch (Breaking Benjamin), Joey Varela (VRSTY), Jorge Duenas (Unloco), Josh Balz (former Motionless In White), Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin), Leo Moracchioli (Frog Leap Studios), Matt James (Blacktop Mojo), Michael Starr (Steel Panther), Mike’s Dead, Rabea Massaad (Frog Leap Studios), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Roy Mayorga (Ministry, Stone Sour), and Tom Hane (former In This Moment), plus more surprise guests.
“ShipRocked is an institution,” said I Prevail vocalist Brian Burkheiser. “And the fact we get to headline is a blessing. We are definitely ready to give all the ShipRockers a kick ass show! And defend our Family Feud title! See y’all there!”
Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach added, “Killswitch Engage, and our appropriately named High Seas Crew, are stoked to be a part of this event, and to play alongside some killer bands! We’ve always been about having a good time at our live shows, so this seems perfect.”
