The E.N.D. Cruise keeps getting bigger, and the fifth annual voyage is the most stacked edition yet. Emo’s Not Dead and Sixthman announce the 2027 sailing, January 22 through 26, departing Miami for Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas aboard Norwegian Joy, with a lineup that reads like a greatest hits collection of the post-hardcore and emo scene.
The Used, Underoath, Story Of The Year, Senses Fail, August Burns Red, Dance Gavin Dance, Saves The Day, Knuckle Puck, Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, We The Kings, Hot Mulligan, Anberlin, Escape The Fate, Hawthorne Heights, and Copeland are all on board, with performances spanning multiple stages including acoustic sets and special album playthroughs. The Matt Says Stage features Barry Hendrixx, Dakota Ave, Not, Moments Of, and Lacey, while the Misery Loves Comedy lineup brings Ian Fidance, Natalie Cuomo, Uncle Lazer, Dan Lamorte, Neil Rubenstein, and Alex Oliver.
Beyond the music, Norwegian Joy delivers go-karts, water slides, a casino, a bellyflop competition, drinking tournaments, comedy nights, theme nights, and the Mandara Spa for anyone who needs a moment of quiet between sets. Great Stirrup Cay adds swimming with pigs, ziplining, and beachside cabanas to the experience.
“Seeing all of our favorite bands up close and personal on a cruise ship with all of our loved ones and friends is an actual dream,” says E.N.D. Cruise founder Matt Cutshall. “Everyone on this cruise feels like one big happy family.” Four years of sold-out sailings back that claim up completely.
