COHEED AND CAMBRIA Announces 'S.S. Neverender: Beyond The Black Rainbow' 2027 Cruise Festival
November 5, 2026COHEED AND CAMBRIA has announced "S.S. Neverender: Beyond The Black Rainbow", the fourth iteration of the band's celebrated cruise festival. In partnership with Sixthman, the cruise is set to sail through the Caribbean from Miami to Grand Cayman from November 2, 2027 to November 7, 2027. During the cruise, COHEED AND CAMBRIA will perform two unique sets: one set celebrating the band's fifth album, "Year Of The Black Rainbow", with its own dedicated performance on board the beautiful Norwegian Jewel's intimate Stardust Theater, and the other set with hits and deep cuts on the pool deck.
Coinciding with the festival's announcement, COHEED AND CAMBRIA also announced its lineup featuring performances from GLASSJAW, JOYCE MANOR, THE HOME TEAM, HAIL THE SUN, ANTHONY GREEN, HOT WATER MUSIC, WHEATUS, BIG BOY, FOXY SHAZAM, INITIATE, NEKROGOBLIKON, EIDOLA, HELD., WOLVES OF GLENDALE, CICADA RHYTHM, MR. DINKLE, FARTBARF and SIR & SOL. In addition to those performances, the cruise has organized a full theatrical performance of "The Amory Wars" on board, as well as other immersive activities. Come aboard and make some Neverending memories, and form friendships that last a lifetime.
The festival cruise follows COHEED AND CAMBRIA's Neverender Festival at The Observatory Festival Grounds and Neverender Rocks at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, both of which transpired this fall. Each notably features the band's "Neverender" alias that they've long used to designate special events, tours, and cruises. In 2010, the band performed their first four albums over four nights each in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and London. Since then, the band has toured albums under the name, started their own festival and set sail on three separate cruises.

"The Father Of Make Believe" marks the monumental tenth studio album from COHEED AND CAMBRIA and includes "Goodbye, Sunshine", "Blind Side Sonny", "Searching For Tomorrow" and "Someone Who Can". "The Father Of Make Believe" carves out new sonic territory amidst all of the wailing guitars, drums that crack like fireworks, and vocalist and primary guitarist Claudio Sanchez's aching, powerful voice that centers us through moments both placid and pinwheeling. Narratively, "The Father Of Make Believe" continues the story of "The Amory Wars" / "Vaxis" universe, following COHEED AND CAMBRIA's 2022 album "Vaxis Act II: A Window Of The Waking Mind". But where the set really forges new ground is in how Sanchez embraces the role of main character. He's often used epic songcraft to mask the stories he wanted to tell: reflections on an addicted father, memories of his beloved grandfather, concern about raising a child in a cruel world, hopes and fears around the love of his life. This time, he's writing more directly about his life and, especially, his unusual career. Sanchez is the Father Of Make Believe, gazing down upon this world he's wrought.
Last year, Sanchez announced his new guitar The Jackhammer, named after the famous line from COHEED AND CAMBRIA's song "In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3" — "man your own jackhammer." The Jackhammer is the first presentation from Claudio's new guitar and music company Evil Instruments and was completely designed by Sanchez, with assistance from long-time guitar tech Kevin Allen, and fine tuned and built by Los Angeles-based Dunable Guitars.
For the last 20 years, COHEED AND CAMBRIA have continuously broken the mold of what a rock band can be, forging their own path and building a universe around their music unlike any other. Whether it is in the way their genre-spanning approach to songwriting has allowed them to bridge worlds without being contained to one, or the multifaceted story arc of their albums and comic book series which mark the longest-running concept story in music, COHEED AND CAMBRIA have consistently shaped new standards, never conformed. Comprised of Claudio Sanchez (vocals / guitar),Travis Stever (guitar),Josh Eppard (drums) and Zach Cooper (bass) the band has gripped listeners and press around the globe with their visionary compositions and conceptual mastery.
