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

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.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 21 February 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
Glastonbury alone is like half the size of the entire population of Iceland.

I would totally attend a concert in Reykjavik to see Slayer, Stormzy and Gucci Mane in quick succession. Speaks to me as a family-type popular concert, and I'm not surprised there'd be Icelanders who're able to dig all three. I have strong doubts about the names below though.

I can't even tell you how happy I am that we live in a world where not only are Radioactive Sandwich, Kluster Phunk and Funkadelic Astronaut all real bands, but are all going to be in the same place at the same time.
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 00:55 (five years ago) link
Drawing on inspirations from classic funk bands and present day electronica, Funkadelic Astronaut blends the best of both worlds to provide a unique sound that they call “Funktronica”.
