1) The Music, Of Course
At the end of the day, a festival is really only as good as its lineup. While Dash Berlin may be the most well-known name on the 2016 edition of the GC Miami’s lineup, it fills the absence left by the lack of main stagers with a who’s who of dance music’s more sophisticated side. In addition to old schoolers like Stefano Noferini, Roger Sanchez and Boris, more contemporary envelope pushers like Chocolate Puma, Autograf and Chus & Ceballos will represent electronic music’s cutting edge.
At present, there are 46 names on GC Miami’s roster and they will be spread across four stages: Theatre, Bon Voyage, Sunset Sessions and Abyss. With so many entertainment options in addition to stops in scenic locations, it’s a surprise that Groove Cruise hasn’t received more recognition for being a trailblazer in the North American cruise ship festival market. As more and more fans grow increasingly discerning of the electronic music brands they support, though, it likely won’t be long until the merits of the festival become better known.
