Just few weeks ago it was revealed that a crazy music festival would hit Australia, and it looks like March is the year for exciting announcements as another much more different music cruise plans to set sail from our shores.
Rock the Boat returns to Australia in 2016, celebrating everything about the swingin’ sixties with an all-star cast of classic artists of the iconic era.
Departing for the first time from the all new port of Brisbane, Rock the Boat 6, will voyage for seven nights from Sunday, November 6 – Friday, November 13, with an incredible line-up of some of the world’s most influential sixties artists.
Passengers will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to sail down memory lane with timeless classics from original artists including: Peter Noone, the original voice of Herman’s Hermits’ ‘No Milk Today’ The Troggs who penned ‘Wild Thing’, The Pacemakers ‘Ferry Cross The Mersey’ and many more.
Hosting more than ten international headliners for the first time ever the diverse line-up is a living tribute to the revolutionary music of what was arguably rock’s greatest decade, the 1960s, and who better to curate the massive programme of rock legends than walking, talking, music encyclopedia Glenn A. Baker.
The writer, commentator, ARIA Hall of Fame advisor and three-time BBC ‘Rock Brain of the Universe’ Winner, Glenn A. Baker who will also play host on the cruise, guiding passengers on a musical experience, while the luxurious Legend of the Seas takes them through the South Pacific.
Stoked for the forthcoming event, Baker commented, “I can’t wait to get on board. From a dyed-in-the-wool rock fan’s perspective it really doesn’t get much better than this. Not only are they some of the truly pivotal acts of their era, but they’re also some of the most enduring. Their infectious music and the movement they were at the centre of, shaped the face of popular culture for decades.”
Passengers aboard the music festival on the high seas will also enjoy the tropical beauty of the South Pacific for seven nights, visiting ports of call in Lifou, the paradise capital of sleepy tropical archipelago, The Loyalty Islands, and The Isle Of Pines of New Caledonia, known for its azure lagoons, untouched white sand and underwater wonders which have earned it the nickname ‘l’île la plus proche du paradis’, the closest island to paradise.
