Having already conquered so many new territories on land, SCORPION CHILD are bringing their brand of zero chaser rock to the open seas! These natives of landlocked Austin, Texas are confirmed to perform on SHIPROCKED 2014: the ultimate rock music cruise vacation aboard the Jewel-class Norwegian Pearl. The over 2,300 passenger capacity ship will depart from the Port Of Miami on January 26th, 2014 and sail to the Great Stirrup Cay - a private island in the Bahamas - for a five-day excursion.
Fueled by Monster Energy for the third year, the SHIPROCKED 2014 line-up includes headliners Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Device (featuring David Draiman), Sevendust, Candlebox, In This Moment, Lacuna Coil, The Halo Method, Nonpoint, Love & Death (with Brian “Head” Welch), Aranda, Art of Dying, Young Guns, Crash Kings, Butcher Babies, SCORPION CHILD, Wilson, American Fangs, Digital Summer, and Andy Wood & The Amalgam. The cruise will also feature a special onboard DJ set by Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace and a comedy set from Big Jay Oakerson. Rock & roll dance troupe Hells Belles Burlesque is slated for a pair of performances and burlesque workshops.
