H
oly Ship is the most anticipated
EDM festival of the new year.
This year, music fans can set
sail for the biggest party in
the seven seas.
Holy Ship is getting bigger and
better in its seventh year. There
will be back-to-back sailings
from the Caribbean in early
January.
Gary Richards (
Destructo) started the festival
after being inspired by a similar
floating festival in Germany
about 20 years ago.
“ In 1997, I went on a cruise called
the Trans-Atlantic Move and it went
from Miami to some island down
here. It was like 400 German techno
freaks and I don’t know how I got on it. It
was this little tiny boat but it was one of the best
times in my life, and I’ve always thought I’d like to
have an opportunity to emulate something like that,” said
Richards in an interview with Billboard magazine in 2015.
