Livescape to throw four night concert on Royal Caribbean cruise liner

SINGAPORE - The Livescape Group will hold a mega event concept slated for November 2014.

The organisers behind the Future Music Festival Asia will hold a five-day, four night, jam-packed experience aboard the award-winning "Voyager of the Seas" Royal Caribbean cruise liner.

The 'It's The Ship' party will embark from Singapore in November 2014, crossing the straits of Malacca to tropical Langkawi for the ultimate beach party of epic proportions.

International and regional headliners will perform on multiple stages in a first-ever journey of this magnitude in Asia.

The full artist line up, exact dates of the festival, pricing and other surprises will be revealed by the organisers on Aug 15, 2014.

Organisers said the concert will include EDM, trance, techno, rock and hip hop music as they expect to attract 3,800 passengers.

"It truly is exciting times ahead for all of us at Livescape and we hope music fans in Singapore and across Asia will share this sentiment as well upon hearing of this announcement. It's The Ship was born out of an idea of wanting to provide music fans in the region with a unique, one-of-a-kind festival experience never before seen on this part of the world, by merging both the relaxed atmosphere of a vacation and the fun experience of a world-class music festival into one." said Muhammad Iqbal, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Livescape Group.

Those onboard will also be able to enjoy complimentary use of 80 per cent of the cruise's facilities including a 200 foot rock climbing wall, 10 pools, a first ever ice rink at sea and other jaw-dropping happenings to be announced soon.

In order to facilitate a mixed diaspora on the cruise, interested party animals can already register for eligibility to purchase cabins on www.itstheship.com.

Early birds who register by Aug 15 will snag a discount code making them privy to a special 20 per cent discount when purchasing cabins during official on-sale period.
