Hed Kandi - the world's most fabulous music and lifestyle brand. A record label, a chain of bars, a fashion brand, a radio show and an international clubbing sensation.
Since the brand was born in 1999 as a humble compilation brand it has flourished and grown to become the global phenomenon it is today with a catalogue spanning over 100 albums showcasing Hed Kandi's feel-good signature sound selling 500,000 copies yearly with five million albums to date, a host of top 40 hits and one thousand global events annually to 1.5 million partygoers.
Hed Kandi has been delivering flirty sounds with a sense of humour to grown-up clubbers since their first club residency in London in 2002. Word soon spread about the most lavish and opulently produced events that the UK had seen, resulting in road-blocks and huge demand for Hed Kandi parties nationwide. Before long, Hed Kandi had a network of UK residencies and now operates across the globe, with clubbers from Sydney to Sao Paolo to Ibiza enjoying the Hed Kandi sound every month. Hed Kandi now defines the sound and vision of the international party scene. Radio listeners can also experience Hed Kandi on the Kiss Network across the UK every Saturday night and daily on Ministry of Sound Radio.
Over the past decade Hed Kandi has well and truly established itself as the world's most glamorous dance music and lifestyle brand. Whatever Hed Kandi does, it feels like a fabulous and exclusive escape. From the city to the beach, sunset to sunrise, Hed Kandi is first class travel to destination chic... every time, all the time.
World-renowned DJ Sam Cannon will be gracing Rock The Boat with his deep funk-house sound. From playing Ibiza to working with Ministry Of Sound for the better part of the past few years, he is no stranger to the international dance scene.
Other top Hed Kandi DJs who will be announced at a later stage will be joining Cannon to Rock The Boat...
How much are tickets?
Ticket prices vary based on how many people share the cabin (cabins can accommodate between one and four people), as well as whether the cabin is an inside cabin (i.e. no window) or an outside cabin (with a window overlooking the sea) or a VIP Suite (with a private balcony). Prices are per cabin, not per person - therefore cabin prices will be the same if two or four people share the cabin (however the more people sharing the cabin, the cheaper the overall cost-per-person sharing becomes). So depending on your budget and just who you want to share this amazing experience with, you can find a ticket that suits your needs.
VIP Balcony Suite: Outside cabin with balcony includes VIP boarding.
2 berth: R3,500.00 per person per night sharing/R21,000.00 for the cabin.
3 berth: R2,333.00 per person per night sharing/R21,000.00 for the cabin.
