The lineup for Jam Cruise 9 was just posted with Bob Weir, Rhythm Devils, Robert Randolph, Galactic and many more set to sail to Mexico early next January. The ship is set to stop at Roatan, Honduras and Costa Maya, Mexico, all the while transforming a normal cruise ship into the world’s best floating music festival. I’m not sure this lineup is enough to get me there, but I know some friends that already pre-booked and I imagine we’ll see a few more artists added the next few weeks as they work to get people booking reservations. We’ll see…I’m always on the fence with this one given how committed it is, but I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it.
Read on for full lineup…
