ShipRocked 2020 has added HELLYEAH and Maria Brink (IN THIS MOMENT) – in her first-ever solo piano lounge set -- to the music lineup for the 11th year of the ultimate rock music cruise vacation. RA – with their first performances in over 5 years – and AEGES also join the bill for ShipRocked 2020, which sets sail February 1-February 6, 2020 onboard Carnival Valor, departing from New Orleans, LA with stops in Key West, FL and Cozumel on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

HELLYEAH singer Chad Gray says, “We’re looking forward to living that castaway life, performing up close and personal for our fans, and hanging out with good friends in a more relaxed vacation-like environment on ShipRocked’s 11th voyage!”

“I am so excited to be doing ShipRocked this year,” says Maria Brink. “And not only doing it again, but doing it by myself this year, I think, is going to bring something so unique and special, and a different side of me that no one has ever seen before. I can't wait to see everybody again and have everyone experience this with me. See you all there!”

"For myself and the band we are super excited not only to make our debut appearance on ShipRocked, but also to use it as our launch pad for the new record Intercorrupted for 2020,” says RA frontman Sahaj Ticotin. “It will be our first show in 5 years and we are looking forward to getting fired up again with all the other amazing bands!!"
