The 2025 Emo’s Not Dead Cruise promises a tropical emo escape, headlined by none other than The Used, alongside a lineup stacked with nostalgic and fan-favorite acts. From February 4-8, 2025, fans will embark on a high-octane voyage from Miami, Florida, to the sunny shores of Nassau, Bahamas.

With emo classics and pop-punk anthems in tow, this cruise blends tropical vibes with the signature angst of the genre. While almost every bunker option is sold-out, there is still a chance to experience the mayhem that Emo’s Not Dead Cruise is impending on instituting; three-guest penthouse suites and five-person family penthouse suites are still available for purchase with just over a month left until this ship sets sail. The massive appeal of this unprecedented festival experience ensures this is an event you will not want to miss out on!

Headlining the cruise is The Used, bringing their iconic sound to the open seas. Joining them are Boys Like Girls, Chiodos, Hawthorne Heights, and more, proving that emo is far from dead—it just swapped hoodies for sunscreen.

A major highlight of the cruise is Hey Monday, marking only their second reunion show. Frontman Cassadee Pop shared her excitement on Instagram: “Can not WAIT to join year 3 of the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise. Will be playing Hey Monday stuff as well as some of my solo project! See you all aboard the sad ship.”

In addition to live performances, attendees can revel in a unique range of activities designed for emo enthusiasts:

• Your Broken Hero, led by cruise creator and YouTuber Matt Cutshall, will perform tracks from his heartfelt, comedic take on emo culture.
• The Emo Band brings live-band karaoke, offering fans the chance to channel their inner rock stars.
• Emo Social will keep the party alive with DJ sets, blending emo hits with danceable beats.

The Emo’s Not Dead Cruise has built a reputation as the ultimate destination for emo nostalgia. Last year’s event featured Yellowcard, Underoath, and Mayday Parade, while the inaugural 2022 voyage delivered unforgettable performances from Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, and more.

With a lineup stockpiled with heavyweights in the pop-punk, emo scene, the 2025 Emo’s Not Dead Cruise is shaping up to be another legendary experience. Fans can stay updated on cabin availability and lineup additions by signing up for alerts on the cruise’s official website.
