The Live Loud Fest cruise has released its lineup, featuring 311, SOJA, Niko Moon, Hirie and more.
311’s set won’t actually take place on the cruise but will instead be part of a kick-off party at the Port of Miami on November 4. The ship then sets sail for Cozumel, Mexico before returning on November 8.
“Get ready for nonstop music at sea with an incredible lineup including SOJA, Niko Moon, Allen Stone, Ripe & more!” declares the cruise’s official website. “From intimate acoustic sets to high-energy jams, every performance brings something unique.”

The cruise will also include yoga and wellness classes, along with unique artist experiences like wine tasting and “paint and pour” classes with some of the musicians. Additionally, Live Loud Fest will benefit MusiCares, an organization dedicated to the overall health and well-being of the music community through direct financial grant programs, networks of support resources, tailored crisis relief efforts, and more.
Live Loud ostensibly replaced Soulshine at Sea, a previously announced cruise from the same organizers, co-curated by Michael Franti. That event was canceled in the wake of allegations of grooming against the reggae pop singer.

Live Loud takes place on the same dates and follows the same route and schedule that Soulshine at Sea previously had. Additionally, many of the artists who appeared on the canceled cruise’s lineup – including Hirie, Allen Stone, Maggie Rose, Bombargo and Ethan Tucker – will now be performing at Live Loud.
Franti, meanwhile, has gone silent since initially denying the allegations against him. After more women accused the singer of wrongdoing, Franti was dropped by his longtime management. He subsequently canceled all of his remaining 2025 tour dates.
