Additionally, for the first time, NEEDTOBREATHE, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Colony House & Welshly Arms will present their popular “Tour De Compadres” at sea.

“The Rock Boat is a living manifestation of what life should be about,” says Sister Hazel’s Ken Block. “There is a spirit of community and camaraderie that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Once you’ve been in once, you’re part of the family forever.”

One of the first-ever themed cruises of its kind, The Rock Boat XVIII returns to The Big Easy for the first time since 2012. Known for its anything-goes atmosphere, spur-of-the moment collaborations and performances that often last from sunset to sunrise, The Rock Boat XVIII will feature more than five stages and offers guests the opportunity to vacation alongside their favorite artists and discover new favorites along the way.
