Goldenvoice is taking the Coachella music festival from the desert to the ocean on the SS Coachella. Hitting the Bahamas on December 16-19 and Jamaica from December 19-23, the seafaring version of Coachella features Pulp, Girl Talk, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, and more. In addition to catching music, attendees will be able to enjoy high-end restaurants, shopping, gambling, yoga, a luxury spa, and more. Tickets for the SS Coachella go on sale this Saturday.
I love that Goldenvoice is thinking outside the box with the SS Coachella. That said, it’s very strange. When I think of Coachella, I think of thousands of dirty kids enjoying music in a crap desert in California. I’m fairly certain that a luxury cruise will not have the same spirit.
Of course, I could be wrong. What do you think? Will this ocean-bound venture be as successful as its desert counterpart? Are any of you interested in setting sail on the SS Coachella?
