The Livescape Group, the organiser behind Future Music Festival Asia, is upping the ante of music festivals by having their next one on a ship. Taking place aboard one of the world’s largest – the Royal Carribean International’s Vogayer of the Seas – IT’S THE SHIP will have a line-up as impressive as the cruise liner.
Say ahoy! to international acts like Aeroplane, Alex Metric, Chvrches, Crookers, Lil Jon, louisahhh!!!, SBCR (The Bloody Beetroots), and Tropkillaz. Regional acts include Dangerdisko, H3, and Twinkies from Malaysia, and Rave Republic from Singapore. The good news is that this line-up is not even complete, so stay tuned for more.
IT’S THE SHIP embarks from Singapore on 21 November 2014 and will return to the sunny island on 25 November via the straits of Malacca. It’s highlight (as if it needs any more of it) will be on 23 November, when the cruise liner will dock in the tropical island of Langkawi for an epic beach party.
Muhammad Iqbal, Group CEO of The Livescape Group, describes it as a the merging of a vacation and a world-class music festival. We can’t agree more. Guests can look forward to a Vegas-style casino, full sized sports courts, an ice skating rink, a 3D cinema, a FlowRider surf stimulator, and a rock climbing wall 200 feet above the ocean. All of these during your five days four nights on board IT’S THE SHIP.
This experience is yours for an early bird price of USD430 to USD4000 per person if you’re booking the luxurious royal suite. Prices are also inclusive of main meals, selected non-alcoholic drinks, and free usage of most of the ship’s facilities. A registration system at IT’S THE SHIP website, is now in place in order to encourage mixed diasporas on board the cruise. Over 10,000 people have registered their interest to purchase cabins on board, and 60% of them are expected to come from outside of Singapore. Have fun with people all over the world during the floating music festival!
Meanwhile, stay tuned for Phase 2 of line-ups, stated to be announced in September. For more updates, check out their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
