This year has seen an overwhelming return of singers and artists, and we’re quite excited to see that It’s The Ship is back too after 3 years! The festival on sea always promises plenty of good music, free-flow food, side-parties, and – our favourite – activities with the DJs.

It’s The Ship will be taking place from 8 – 10 March 2023 on the Genting Dream, where festival goers will sail to nowhere for 90 hours of non-stop fun with over 60 DJs and artists. There is plenty to do on the ship with Sima Auntie taking the helm as Captain this year. Sima Auntie, popular for her reality show Indian Matchmaking on Netflix will bring her love tips and a speed dating session which single shippers can look forward to!

Headlining the festival is Israeli psytrance duo Vini Vici, heavy hitter Laidback Luke, and even harder heavyweight, Ran-D. Local collective Revelry will be raising the Singapore flag high at their stage takeover with MYRNE, LeNERD and Joshua Dillon, while talent from our next door neighbors Bass Agents and BLINK will also be returning.

View the full lineup below, which includes a stage takeover from Barong Family, and rising newcomers like Sound Rush, Gammer, Maddix, and Justin Oh.



Another highlight of It’s The Ship is the side activities, because which other festival gives you a chance to mingle with your favourite DJs? Play beer pong with Mike Cervello, go for a round of mini golf with Maddix and Ramengvrl, learn how to mix cocktails with influencer-turned-DJ Ms Puiyi, and bowling with Ran-D, Gammer and Moksi is just some of the activites that shipmates can join. Or if you just want a quick intro, stop by the Meet & Greet session with some merch and a sharpie.

In the sentiment of work hard and play hard, It’s The Ship is also introducing wellness activities to recharge your batteries during the three day two night rave. HIIT classes, yoga, and sound healing will rejuvenate you for another day of partying, while stand-up comedians and drag queens will lighten the mood with their performances.

The theme parties are also a hoot, so grab your squad and put your cutest beach fits for the iconic Foam Party and show off your sexiest lingerie at the Sleepless Society. New theme parties this year to prep outfits for is drag-themed night Shagrilla, and glow in the dark rave Nauti-Neon.

Duck holders of the It’s The Ship’s NFT will see exclusive perks onboard, like an exclusive Rave Cave in a secret location (even we don’t know where it is!).

It’s The Ship sets sail from 8 – 10 March 2023 from Singapore. Stay tuned to their Instagram for live updates or join their waitlist for cabins.
