Southeast Asia’s largest music festival at sea, “IT’S THE SHIP” is back for the second year running from 20 – 23 November 2015 aboard the Royal Caribbean International cruise liner, the “Mariner of the Seas”.
The four-day and three-night floating vacation cum music festival is set to depart from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore on November 20, crossing international waters on the straits of Malacca to tropical Langkawi for a beach party, before returning to Singapore shores on November 23. IT’S THE SHIP 2015 will take place aboard the “Mariner of the Seas” of the Royal Caribbean International cruise liner and is expected to attract a total of 3,800 people.
“One of the key talking points from the fans who attended last year’s festival was the fact that they not only got to see their favourite acts perform live but they also got to interact with the artistes in person over the five-day period. One key consideration we take when booking acts for IT’S THE SHIP is we tend to book acts that are more outgoing and sociable because we want them to interact with the fans not just through their music but through the other activities onboard the cruise as well, and because of the laidback, vacation-like atmosphere, it was very possible”, Muhammad Iqbal, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Livescape Group said.
IT’S THE SHIP 2015 takes place from 20 – 23 November 2015 aboard the prestigious Royal Caribbean International cruise liner, “Mariner of the Seas” and is expected to attract over 3,800 fans of which 60% are expected to come from outside of Singapore. The inaugural edition last year saw over 2,500 fans from across 49 countries travelling to Singapore specifically for IT’S THE SHIP.
This year’s bill spans American demigod Kaskade, trance hero Ferry Corsten, local hitmakers Peking Duk and Chicago talent Autograf, plus Tigerlily, Will Sparks, Doorly, TWRK and a cast of local names. That’s only phase one of the bill – expect to see more names added in the coming months.
