2024 saw the return of former Carnival Cruise director Cookie, whose freakishly good performance of “Thriller” kicked things off. In addition to all the ghoulishly delightful programming this year, the annual ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! auction, hosted by Nonpoint’s Elias Soriano and Cookie, raised over $100,000 for cancer research. Since its inception, the auction has raised over $1 million.

For many ShipRockers, ShipRocked has become a family reunion that they attend each year. The floating festival provides dozens of performances, unique collaborations, and opportunities for fans and bands to forge new friendships while relaxing in tropical paradise. Throughout the year, ShipRockers can be found at various shows with their chosen musical family. The community also keeps in touch via “Making Waves – The ShipRocked Podcast”. Hosted by Chad Nicefield and Justin Press, the podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcasts.

ShipRocked 2025 on-sale information will soon be available at www.ShipRocked.com.
