For its third iteration, HARD Events’ pioneering electronic music dance cruise has already embraced the age old adage “go big or go home”. They moved the departure port to Miami – ensuring copious pre-party options – added a second private island destination, and unveiled an absolutely massive new luxury cruise ship; featuring bowling alleys, five-star dining and crystal staircases a lá “Titanic”.
So when HARD released the lineup for the cruise earlier today, I can’t say I was surprised at the number of quality names gracing the list; it was more or less what I’d come to expect. Joining the boat for the third year of the festival are familiar names like Skrillex, Boys Noize (Dog Blood secret set anyone?) Diplo, A-Trak, Zedd, Laidback Luke, Dillon Francis, and Zeds Dead – nothing groundbreaking, but a solid group nonetheless.
I always judge a lineup by its depth, and in the case of Holy Ship!!! some of the fine-print names are bigger for me than the oft-trotted out headliners. Australian soulful sensation Flume, chill-out master Ryan Hemsworth, genreless Miami natives GTA, San Diego’s funky TJR, and the groovy sample-happy vibes of GRiZ and Gramatik are among the many acts further down the list I’m just as excited to see on the ship come January. If we get a Grizmatik set in addition to a Dog Blood set, I think we can all die happy ravers.
