With Holy Ship! Wrecked just around the corner, the immersive destination music festival has announced its highly-anticipated set times, theme nights, artist-led activities, and Sunrise Send details. The festival returns December 12-16 for four nights of luxury accommodations, top-drawer music curation, and immersive entertainment at Hard Rock Riviera Maya on the shores of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
No Holy Ship! Wrecked experience is complete without a proper Sunrise Send. This year, as the final records reverberate from the Tropic and Wrecked stages, the Sunrise Send ramps up to keep the party going until the early hours of the morning. Desert Hearts co-founder Mikey Lion kicks things off at 4am followed by eclectic veteran superproducer Boys Noize at 5am. And closing things out, two of house music’s most iconic figures, Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke and trailblazing label head and producer of countless classics Green Velvet, perform together as Get Real.
Holy Ship! Wrecked offers the unmatched opportunity to party and compete alongside fan-favorite artists. The 2023 edition includes a stacked list of activities like Wreckno’s Sleigh All Day Cat Walk Competition, Desert Hearts’ Wild Winter Olympics Pool Party, and Bucket Hat Craftz with Mark Droppinz. This year’s supercharged activity lineup also includes the Dirtybird What’s The Word Showdown—a Pyramid-style gameshow with the infamous Claude VonStroke, Dombresky’s LIFT OFF, pitting the best shipfam bartenders against each other, an exclusive DJ workshop with Rinzen, and the annual OG Party with Ardalan.
