ShipRocked is a five-day cruise onboard the MSC Poesia embarking from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Nov. 15. Along with the aforementioned bands, expect performances by Broken Teeth, endeverafteR, Lynam, Niki Barr Band, Stereoside and StoneRider. This is gonna be one helluva trip.

Plus, there’s a special discount for all Rock Gone Wild festival fans left in the lurch. It was only a few weeks ago when Rock Gone Wild promoters pulled the plug on the event only days before the festival, leaving certain issues such as ticket refunds up in the air.

But ShipRocked is offering a $100 discount to folks still hanging on to their Rock Gone Wild tix. All you need do is e-mail or fax proof of your ticket to the ShipRocked people. Plus, if you’ve already purchased your cruise tickets and you’re a Rock Gone Wild ticketholder, e-mail or fax your RGW proof to the cruise folks and you’ll receive a $100 onboard credit. These offers end Sept. 30.
