Richards also upgraded to using Virgin Voyages’ larger Scarlet Lady vessel compared to the smaller ships booked in prior years. In 2012, Richards capitalized on the cruise industry by chartering a liner for the first-ever Holy Ship! Was an instant success, selling out annually for 4 consecutive years. With the festival occurring on a cruise ship, Friendship 2024 tickets entail booking a cabin rather than a traditional event pass.

This can be anything as simple as a sticker or as impressive as a three-dimensional printed item. Most notable is the Dial-a-DJ experience, which is when cards are selectively handed out to festival-goers, allowing those with one to have a pop-up party by an artist on the ship. For attendees who didn’t get a card, there were plenty of renegade sets throughout the event. I experienced a SkiiTour back-to-back The Sponges renegade set in a private suite.

Rarely did I see an artist get hassled for a picture or autograph, but I did see several artists turning long-time fans into new friends. From waterslides to dance music to culinary delights, the Norwegian Joy liner has it all. Combine that with a destination Belize island rager featuring Skrillex and you’ve got a matchless setting for revelry. Largely sold out annually, Friendship 2024 promises to be the hottest ticket in town once more.

And, as the helm of LiveStyle, he’s the genius behind global events like Spring Awakening and Electric Zoo. The private 24 hour party at Harvest Caye, dubbed “You Better ‘Belize’ It” is set to be a peak music experience for guests on board the Norwegian Joy, where Destructo will also present an island edition of his signature Sunrise Sermon for the first time ever. Richards launched Friendship in 2018, with the concept echoing that of Holy Ship, the party cruise Richards launched in 2012 via HARD, the electronic festival production company he founded in 2007 and which was acquired by Live Nation in 2012. The main attraction of the FriendShip experience was a 24-hour island party in Belize, which exceeded all my expectations. The trip visits Harvest Caye island in Belize for a 24-hour private island party before returning to Miami on January 11.

An Unforgettable Journey

“FriendShip is a culmination of everything I have learned over the years, boiled down into one crazy musical journey over five nights on one of the most amazing cruise ships we could charter,” says Destructo. One thing that makes Friendship stand out from other festivals is the atmosphere. Those who have attended the event are called Shipfam, and this sentiment couldn’t be more accurate. The environment of the high seas experience fosters inclusivity, love, friendship and community. People make connections while riding the elevator, walking down the hallways, joining somebody sitting alone during a meal and more. Equally endearing are the trinkets that Shipfam hand out to one another.

Friendship hosted comedy shows, two performances by burlesque queen Dita Von Teese and numerous activities, such as a twerk shop, nipple tassel making, speed dating, a strap-on painting competition, skateboarding and a shuffling class. Exclusive to Harvest Caye, Skrillex promises an unforgettable island show. Adding to this, Destructo will present his signature Sunrise Sermon on the island, the first time-ever for of one of his sailings. A cherished tradition of the cruise, the Sunrise Sermon draws in everyone for a unified musical celebration led by Destructo, accompanied by live acts and surprise collaborations.

No matter the style, no matter the sound, no matter the genre, it was undeniable that it was a Skrillex set—exemplifying his ability to transcend stylistic borders while always sticking to the signature rhythmic dish that made him famous years ago. On that private island in Belize, the legendary producer threw down heater after heater. Friendship 2024 offers more than just music; it's a convergence of various entertainment forms. The curation for Friendship 2024 showcases a diverse tapestry of sound, spotlighting an endless list of rising acts that span the vast spectrum of electronic music. Among these are Honeycomb, J Phlip, Nitepunk, Meduso, G-Rex, Option4, Raven, Subset, Downlo, Smalltown DJs, Volac, and Vigro Deep, each set to bring their distinct sonic signatures, ensuring attendees experience the vibrant future of the electronic scene. The concept of Friendship first emerged in 2012 when electronic music promoter Gary Richards launched Holy Ship!

Indeed, veteran cruisers praise the vibes of camaderie and free-spiritedness nourished onboard year after year. Whether you’re racing go-karts with new friends at 4 AM or witnessing the sunrise over the Caribbean, there’s an almost surreal quality to the Friendship experience. The trip traverses through scenic Caribbean waters, making a stop in Belize at Harvest Caye island for a 24-hour beachside blowout. Attendees can opt to sleep on the docked ship or stay up all night with sunrise views. The Norwegian Joy returns to Miami on January 11th after the island pit stop. FriendShip 2024 will launch on the Norwegian Joy cruise ship, a party-style ship with a casino, ...

The Norwegian Joy’s complimentary restaurants, mainly Savor and Taste, were standard as far as cruise cuisine goes, and included fantastic dishes like Cajan shrimp and home fried chicken. And if you wanted something more up-scale, the Teppanyaki, a hibachi-style Japanese restaurant, and Ocean Blue, which primarily served seafood dishes, were great options. No matter where you ate, though, it was almost impossible to avoid party-loving passengers passing by, showing off silly outfits and dancing with their friends. Francel Parker is demanding to know how his underage son was given alcohol on the four-day cruise. The boy’s stunned father, Francel Parker, told The Daily Sun he threw six life rings off the ship in hopes of saving his son before the massive vessel was able to come to a stop about 20 minutes later. The cruise takes place aboard the Norwegian Joy, a symbol of luxury and innovation and the largest vessel in Destructo’s esteemed promotion career.

Attendees were encouraged to wear all-white outfits, and for the most part, that’s exactly what they did. Destructo’s performance was proof that dance music can indeed be a spiritual experience, given the right environment, and the right people. Skrillex is arguably the most influential dubstep DJ of this generation, and experiencing his two-hour performance on a private island with your feet in the warm sand, was a remarkable experience. Richards has produced electronic events since the 1990s, including early raves in Los Angeles.

Friendship is an annual electronic music festival cruise that sets sail from Miami, Florida every January for a 5-day voyage. The 2024 edition embarks on January 6th aboard the Norwegian Joy cruise ship with over 3,500 passengers. On top of all the musical acts and cruise amenities there will also be a burlesque show from Dita Von Teese, “Shipteese” as well as live comedy from Nick Thune & Martin Urbano. Showcasing soulful Amapiano beats, Vigro Deep emerges as a modern beacon, revolutionizing the genre with his distinctive production skills.

The private island in Belize wasn’t the only thing that made Friendship such an exceptional experience. With a lineup boasting top-tier talent and five stages—FriendZone, Spice H2O, Atrium, Q and Joy Theatre—it was impossible not to revel in joy and dance without abandon. A handful of artists even played twice, with each set offering a different take as they changed genres for their respective performances.
