HARD EVENTS is kicking off 2013 with several major announcements surrounding their landmark music festivals and events.
HARD EVENTS, along with partners Cloud 9 Adventures and The Bowery Presents, recently celebrated the successful completion of HOLY SHIP!!, the second annual electronic music cruise, which set sail Friday, January 4, through Monday, January 7, 2013, aboard the glamorous Italian cruise liner MSC Poesia with thousands of fans onboard. HOLY SHIP!! sold out in record time and featured performances from Justice (DJ set), Boys Noize, Knife Party, Major Lazer, Diplo, A-Trak, Skream & Benga and many more.
The luxury boat—which launched from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, sailed onto Nassau, Bahamas and stopped on a private island for the second annual HOLY SHIP!! Beach Party!!—featured over 40 of the world’s top DJs and cutting-edge artists in the dance/electronic world performing among multiple venues aboard the MSC Poesia into the late hours at sea. HOLY SHIP!! also featured stages and onboard activities specially curated by the talent, including: KNIFE PARTY PRESENTS EARSTORM, the DIRTYBIRD DISCO, the 80’s PROM NIGHT ANTHEMS party hosted by SKREAM & FRIENDS, the MOOMBAHTON MASSIVE PARTY, the BLUE BEARD’s BOOTY CLUB presented by MAJOR LAZER, as well as the wildly popular THE SECOND ANNUAL GREATEST MAD DECENT SCAVENGER HUNT, GINA TURNER’s YOGA CLASS, THE SECOND ANNUAL DILLON FRANCIS SINGLE-MALT INVITATIONAL mini-golf competition, OLIVER’s “MOVE YOUR BODY” TWISTER faceoff and the 2ND ANNUAL HOLY SHIP!! POKER TOURNAMENT hosted by ZEDD, plus much more.
Here’s what the press is saying about HOLY SHIP!!:
“With a private island, an incredible line up and a surprise guest by the name of Skrillex how could it not be epic?”
—MAGNETICMAG.COM (1/8/13)
“Over the weekend, 40 DJs and 2,500 EDM fans became pirates of the Caribbean aboard the second annual Hard Holy Ship!!, dropping heavy beats, musical treats and no rest for the wicked. The 72-hour dance-music cruise featured all of the biggest names in the scene including Diplo, A-Trak, Boys Noize, Justice, Knife Party and more, all aboard a 16-story boat that conquered Fort Lauderdale, the Bahamas, a private island and everything in between.”
—Lara Kathleen Kelley, MTV NEWS/MTV.COM (1/7/13)
“The second annual Holy Ship!! electronic music cruise set itself booming and wubbing into the Atlantic Ocean…SPIN remained two margaritas deep at all times, catching the festivities in all their bikini’d, beach-balled, Twister-marathoning, booty-clapping glory. Ahoy!”
—SPIN.COM (1/8/13)
“With the top names in dance music going to bat on five floating stages, this boat is out of control in every sense of the phrase.”
—Justin Murray, STONEYROADS.COM (1/10/13)
“Holy Ship! was more than a standard festival—it was a personal release…Nothing in the world seemed to matter more than being in the moment.”
—Mike Abu, MILKMADE.COM (1/8/13)
