A Day to Remember’s Big Ole Boat Show sails from Miami with Knocked Loose and The Devil Wears Prada

The band's first cruise leaves Port of Miami April 28–May 2, 2027, with a heavy six-act bill under the hosts.

A pit on a pool deck sounds like a dare. A Day to Remember's Big Ole Boat Show is taking it on. The band's first cruise sails from Port of Miami on Wednesday, April 28, 2027 and returns Sunday, May 2, with six acts on the lineup as listed and the hosts playing on top of that.

Sixthman is the promoter, and it's the band's first time doing this, according to the announcement coverage. The ship is the Norwegian Jewel, sailing from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas and back (Blabbermouth). Sixthman also runs Creed's Summer of '99 and Lamb of God's Headbanger's Boat, MetalSucks noted, so this crew has put loud bands on ships before.

The name is a joke with a point. It's a nod to the band's physical-only record *Big Ole Album Vol. 1*, released last year, as Consequence pointed out. A Day to Remember are billed for two unique pool deck sets over the trip (Knotfest), so fans get two different nights with the band.

The lineup. At the top of the invited bill is Knocked Loose, followed by The Devil Wears Prada. Those two alone would fill a decent-sized room on land. Under them are Spite, Dying Wish, Comeback Kid and The Callous Daoboys, a run of heavy bands that makes this a different kind of cruise from the classic-rock and reggae sailings that also leave from here.

The bill is short, and that's a selling point. With six acts and two ADTR sets, you won't be choosing between stages very often. You can see everything. When the cruise was announced in April, coverage said more acts were still to come (Melodic Magazine), so it's worth watching for additions.

Two A Day to Remember sets, six heavy bands and nowhere to go but the deck.

Catch early. The Callous Daoboys and Spite are the sets to get to before the ship fills up. Dying Wish and Comeback Kid are the ones people tend to walk off the deck talking about. On a bill this tight, every act counts.

What it means for Miami. The city is the jumping-off point. For a few days next spring, people heading for this sailing will be coming through Miami before they board at the port.

Booking. Cabins are booked through the official Big Ole Boat Show site. When it launched, the first 600 cabins booked got a choice of early-bird perks, either a photo with the band or early merch store access, per Knotfest. Check the site for what's still available now.

Six months is a long time to wait for a mosh pit. Use it to book a cabin and pack some sunscreen.
