The wait is over, Captains!
The Groove Cruise 2027 lineup has officially arrived, and it’s setting the stage for another unforgettable journey at sea. From January 21-25, 2027, over 5,000 members of the #GCFAM will set sail from Miami to Nassau aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas for 96 hours of nonstop music, connection, and transformation.
And yes, before a single artist was even announced…Groove Cruise 2027 sold out!
This year’s lineup brings together global icons, fan favorites, and rising stars across house, techno, melodic bass, DnB, trance, and more, creating a soundtrack built for every moment of the journey.
Groove Cruise 2027 will be headlined by techno kingpin and Drumcode founder Adam Beyer, stutter house leader and Groove Cruise fan favorite BUNT., beloved fun starter Disco Lines, hard-groove house and techno purveyor Kettama, and techno trailblazer Eli Brown. The headliners are joined by artists from every genre, including Andrew Bayer, Anabel Englund, CID, DJ Susan, Ely Oaks, Max Low, Mitis, Sam Feldt, Tom Higgenson (Plain White T’s), Travis Clark (We the Kings), Trivecta and more than 60 other artists.
Even more, Groove Cruise continues to push the industry forward with a commitment to representation and inclusivity.
While many festivals fall short, GC consistently books 3-5x more female artists than the industry standard and in 2027 the lineup features over 35% women. Expect powerful performances from artists Amy Wiles, Bella Renee, Jackie Hollander, Linney, Luci, Maxinne, me n ü, Nifra, Raecola, Sarah de Warren, WHIPPED CREAM, and many more shaping the future of dance music.
Adam Beyer occupies a firm position among the few techno originators who've stayed at the top of their game since the '90s. The Swede's three-decade career is an impressive unfurling of steadfast, future-focussed innovation and expansion. Beyer has performed at nearly every club and festival around the world multiple times, he's the first to have racked up 100 Awakenings appearances, he's turned in two rounds on Radio 1's Essential Mix and an entry into fabric's mix series, built a vast catalogue of vital records, released under various aliases, and launched three record labels, including the gargantuan Drumcode, world-dominating brand with a syndicated radio show, weekly show on streaming platforms and global wide events.
