Hey, Zeus is great, and Hades runs a hell of an underworld, but let’s be honest – the real heavy metal thunder that changed music forever came from Black Sabbath, and the true Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. The Stowaways will be paying tribute to Ozzy this year, and I can’t wait for ShipRockers to hear their epic 43-minute version of ‘War Pigs’ that they have planned. The best part is, they’re finally giving me a bass solo! – Cookie – ShipRocked’s cruise director
Also joining the lineup for ShipRocked 2026 are Emi Grace, Fox Lake, GANG!, Kemikalfire (Arejay Hale & Taylor Carroll), LYLVC and The Pretty Wild.
The 2026 Greek mythology-themed edition of ShipRocked will feature more than 30 bands onboard, and to celebrate the final night of ShipRocked, Halestorm will perform a special “ShipDocked” show on the ship just before departing Nassau. The ShipRocked 2026 lineup also features Motionless In White and Knocked Loose, along with Wage War, AWOLNATION, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Starset, Sleep Theory, From Ashes To New, and Kittie. The full SR26 lineup is rounded out by ’68, Andy Wood Trio, Archetypes Collide, aurorawave, The Barbarians of California, Dead Poet Society, DeathByRomy, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Emi Grace, Fox Lake, The Funeral Portrait, GANG!, Holy Wars, House Of Protection, Kemikalfire, Lowlives, LYLVC, Not Enough Space, The Pretty Wild, Shepherd’s Reign, UnityTX, Zero 9:36 and all-star band The Stowaways.
In addition to nonstop music and tropical port visits, the ShipRocked schedule includes traditional cruise activities with a rock ‘n’ roll twist, such as the ShipRocked Beach Wars, a blackjack tournament, dodgeball tournament, live band karaoke, game shows, singles mixers, trivia contests and morning yoga.
A floating music festival, a rock & roll summer camp held in the dead of winter, a family reunion for the growing number of ShipRockers who have forged lifelong relationships out of a shared passion for music (and an occasional bucket of beer) – ShipRocked is the premier rock music vacation, offering dozens of performances and unique collaborations, artist-hosted events and activities, theme nights, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise.
