The newly announced lineup is led by Papa Roach, Ice Nine Kills, Nothing More, and Highly Suspect, alongside a diverse mix of artists including Badflower, Set It Off, Magnolia Park, Aurorawave, The Barbarians of California, buffalo_farm, Caskets, The Dark.FM, Des Rocs, Ekoh, Fury in Few, Good Terms, Kami Kehoe, MUTTLEE, Nate Bergman, Scarhaven, Sludge Mother, TX2, Upon a Burning Body, VANA, Wargasm, and Waxed. As tradition continues, the all-star cover group The Stowaways will return, with its lineup to be announced soon.
- Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix said, “We’ve had some unforgettable moments on ShipRocked, and the 2027 edition will bring even more. We’ll see you ShipRockers out on the high seas!”
- Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas added, “I’m positively buoyant about stepping back aboard and rocking the boat together. ShipRocked is always a (killer) whale of a time!”
- Highly Suspect’s Johnny Stevens joked, “Honestly I just want to eat pizza on the back of the boat with strangers and watch y’all sing karaoke. Honored to be invited back to ShipRocked. Rock music? Cruise ship? That’s wetness overload. Stoked. See y’all soon.”
- Meanwhile, Magnolia Park shared, “We’re super stoked to be a part of ShipRocked this year. We’ve gotten a lot of requests from people to be a part of it, so we’re pretty grateful that we got asked. And we can’t wait to rock out with everyone soon.”
ShipRocked 2026, held January 25–31, brought more than 4,100 fans aboard the Carnival Horizon for a sold-out, Greek mythology-themed adventure from Miami to The Bahamas, with stops at Half Moon Cay, Celebration Key on Grand Bahama, and Nassau. Across six days and nights, guests were treated to performances from over 30 bands, including standout sets by Halestorm, Motionless In White, Knocked Loose, Wage War, AWOLNation, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Starset, Sleep Theory, From Ashes To New, and Kittie. Beyond the music, the cruise continued its charitable impact. The annual ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! auction raised a record $200,000, pushing total contributions past $1.2 million in support of cancer research.
