\n\tSoulshine at Sea 3<\/a> won\u2019t set sail as planned. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe concert cruise was slated to begin its voyage Nov. 4-8, 2025, headlined by Michael Franti & Spearhead and tracing a path from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico. <\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by Sixthman, and billed as Soulshine at Sea 3 With Michael Franti, the event was officially sold-out back in mid-December 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, the show entered stormy waters in recent days when performers including Dispatch, Maggie Rose, Hirie, and Liz Vice pulled out. Sixthman has returned its plans to dock. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn light of recent events, the Soulshine at Sea with Michael Franti event scheduled for November 4-8, 2025, is cancelled,\u201d reads a statement posted to the official Soulshine at Sea\u2019s website, noting that plans for a separate event are underway.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe artist exodus was fueled by allegations of abuse by an unnamed artist on the lineup. <\/p>\n

\n\tMaggie Rose shared a post on her Instagram stories: \u201cI\u2019ve made the decision to no longer perform at Soulshine at Sea. There were some allegations made by a peer of mine about another artist on the lineup and I want to stand in solidarity with her. I hope you understand my decision and I appreciate your support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother, from Dispatch<\/a> reads: \u201cWe\u2019ve decided we will no longer be performing at Soulshine at Sea. We have been made aware of deeply concerning public allegations involving another artist on the lineup and have chosen to withdraw from the event. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHirie and Lice Vice also pulled out, citing similar reasons.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier, musician Victoria Canal accused a \u201cvery powerful, decades older\u201d man in the music industry of grooming and sexually abusing her when she was 19. \u201cThis is something I\u2019ve never spoken about publicly, and have been holding for 8 years now \u2013 it has plagued my body, spirit, and mind, in subliminal and overt ways, for my entire 20s,\u201d Canal wrote Aug. 11 on her Instagram account<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe declined to mention his name or any specifics \u201cbecause I can\u2019t risk the financial loss or emotional terror a lawsuit would bring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis \u201cexperience, which lasted a little over a year, has had a years-lasting effect on my intimate life,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the accusations and subsequent cancellation spread on social media, Franti attempted to clear the air with a statement on an extramarital affair, a \u201cregrettable mistake,\u201d as he puts it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI come here most humbly to share my story with you,\u201d he writes in a social post. \u201c7 years ago I had a romantic relationship outside my marriage. It was with an artist who was touring with me. I broke my wedding vows, I broke my wife\u2019s trust, I broke her heart and for that I am deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFranti\u2019s wife found out about, and \u201cto save my marriage, we ended the relationship,\u201d he continues. The unidentified artist continued to tour with Franti in what he depicts as a professional relationship, and after the tour ended, continued to perform with him at \u201cseveral shows.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, organisers of Soulshine at Sea are \u201cactively working to announce a new event that will sail November 4-8, 2025\u201d. Additional details will be shared today, Aug. 18. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
