Insomniac has just announced the lineup for the 2024 edition of its cruise ship festival, EDSea.
After a successful maiden voyage last year, Insomniac will once again partner with destination music experience companies Vibee and Sixthman for a four-night journey from Miami to Bimini, the Bahamas onboard the Norwegian Joy.
The sold-out event, which returns from November 2-6, invites more than 4,000 guests to dance their way through paradise with eight stages of music across 15 ship decks soundtracked by some of the world’s best DJs. The music-led vacation will culminate in an overnight beach party in the Bahamas before returning to the Port of Miami.
Chart-topping hitmakers like Dillon Francis and Gryffin, bass wizard Subtronics, and UK house hero Chris Lorenzo immediately stand out on this year’s EDSea bill, but there’s plenty more to discover.
Additional bouncing house beats will come from Dutch star Mau P, beloved Insomniac Events veterans like J. Worra and Matroda, techy Experts Only favorite and recent Insomniac Records signee Max Styler, and cult-favorite duo Walker & Royce, alongside bass house trailblazers like Tchami and Wax Motif.
EDSea’s techno brigade also packs a punch with hard techno powerhouses like Sara Landry, Nico Moreno, and AK Sports, the multi-faceted genre stylings of Eli Brown, VNSSA, Maddix, Fatima Haji, and Space 92, and a coveted performance from Ketboi69 (KETTAMA B2B Partiboi69). The pair of artists will also perform solo.
Guests can also headbang at sea to performances from premier dubstep talents like SLANDER, Crankdat, and ARMNHMR, and highly-touted experimental and low-end bass acts such as Hamdi, INZO, Levity, Mary Droppinz, and rising UK talent Pocket. 1991, Hedex, and Netsky will fly the flag for drum & bass.
Check out the full lineup below.
In addition to A-list dance music performances, EDSea attendees can dive deep into the event’s colorful world of immersive art installations and costumed performers. Guests can also expect plenty of impromptu artist surprises and spontaneous pop-up sets on the massive ship, which houses specialty dining options, a go-kart track, a casino, a spa, waterslides, and much more.
EDSea 2024 is sold out, but music fans can join the waitlist here to book rooms as they become available.
