one time I did that crossing and it was so choppy that I was stood in this office somewhere in Leiden I think the next day and the whole floor felt like it was still going up and down

As a student I once crossed to Newcastle. We got into a brawl with some Newcastle lads who'd drank up before we took off. Fuckers broke my watch, and a friend of mine was too busy puking then entire trip to help us out. It's more or less exactly what I imagine this "cruise" to be.

I could be wrong but I think a ticket on this thing is cheaper than a ferry ticket for the weekend, maybe I'll take some earplugs and go for a day out in Rotterdam

You're not wrong, by the looks of it, 159,- is cheap.

Is one able to sneak drugs onto these 'music cruises' or is security tight enough that you're stuck buying 11 dollar coors light

not even sure you can smoke inside on the ferry nowadays and it would be physically impossible to do it on deck in March

I have a friend who just got back from this cruise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Boat#The_Rock_Boat_XVIII
he's been in previous years. it sounds like a hell to me. no idea about the drug sneaking but I know they regularly try to sneak on liquor because I get a story about how many bottles the luggage checkers found versus how many they missed
― mh, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link
that is the original rock cruise, the one that spawned all the others. former coworkers of mine have been attending since it began
― maura, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
I mean, on the rare occasion he's come back talking about a band I haven't heard of that was in the lineup that later breaks out
but more often there's an anecdote about some one-hit artist from the 90s who performed and then got drunk with everyone
― mh, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link
a music fest w/that lineup and calling it "Victorious"....if they can make like Dunkirk and evacuate the concertgoers from that beach maybe.

I played at Shiiine a few months ago. Actually had an OK time, despite none of the three or so bands I actually liked playing that day.
As we were unloading I heard a band covering MGMT's 'Kids' in the distance, which I assumed was some covers band playing in one of the pub venues, but when they followed it up with Starsailor's 'Four To The Floor' I realised it was the sound of Starsailor themselves at work, adding something a little 'contemporary' to their set
I also got to watch Embrace alternate their hits with new material which contains millennial whoops and latter-day Take That-esque choruses in a no way desperate attempt to get on Radio 2. During this I noticed Lammo standing nearby.
Like I said, it was fun

It's in Iceland though, I doubt the population can support multiple large festivals aimed at multiple demographics, even if they are all hugely into music.
