Richards also noted the camaraderie the Shipfam builds during Holy Ship. “The Shipfam thing brewed up just naturally. I tried to emulate what we’re all about in the ‘90s by bringing great music to great venues, but the Shipfam is like what this spawned. And it’s like a million times better than anything I could have dreamed for. Whenever I see people they’re most excited about the relationships they made through this event. I never thought that would happen, it surprised me, but it’s the most rewarding,”said Richards to Billboard magazine. Even though Holy Ship founder and festival mainstay Richards has left, there is still the great partying essence of Holy Ship. The Shipfam seen some of the best DJ’S in the world, like Skrillex, Diplo, and Baauer over the years. This year promises even more A-list EDM superstars that will rock the boat all weekend.
