Groove Cruise celebrated a major milestone in 2024 with its 20th anniversary, sailing from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay. As the longest-running music cruise in the world, Groove Cruise once again delivered an unmatched experience filled with non-stop EDM, next-level stage production, and the most welcoming festival community at sea.
Relive some of the most iconic moments from Groove Cruise Miami 2024 as we highlight five standout sets that made this sailing truly unforgettable.
One of the most legendary names in electronic dance music, Tiësto brought the energy to new heights during his beach set on Great Stirrup Cay. Thousands of Groove Cruise Captains danced barefoot in the sand as ocean waves rolled in and the sun dipped below the horizon. This set was more than a performance, it was a bucket list moment for everyone on board.
Diplo lit up the night with his signature mix of house, techno, and global beats during his Higher Ground takeover. The production, the vibe, and the packed theater created the perfect kickoff to an epic 96-hour experience. From start to finish, Diplo kept the crowd moving with back-to-back heaters.
John Summit's sets were a highlight for many Groove Cruisers. His Pool Deck takeover had the entire ship bouncing, and his massive B2B2B2B Theater set with Max Styler, Ranger Trucco, and Kyle Walker was one for the books. The moment he dropped his new hit single "Shiver" was pure magic and instantly became a defining memory of the cruise.
Techno fans were treated to a spiritual experience with Lilly Palmer's debut set on Groove Cruise. Her sunrise performance captivated the crowd in dancefloor bliss as daylight broke. It was a beautiful reminder of the emotional power of music on the open sea.
Rising star Max Styler made waves with his infectious energy and genre-bending selections throughout the cruise, proving he's a force to be reckoned with in the house scene. His back-to-back set with VNSSA turned the Pool Deck into a full-blown dance party and closed out the cruise on a high.
