Tom Petty: Something Good Coming
JAM CRUISE 12 LINEUP COMING TODAY – A BRIEF LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF JAM CRUISE

Later today, at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT, SiriusXM’s Jam ON channel will exclusively reveal the lineup for Jam Cruise 12. The floating musical festival will depart from Miami on January 4th aboard the MSC Divinia and is set to return on January 9th. In addition to announcing the lineup, Jam ON will play music from Jam Cruise artists as well as tracks from Jam Cruise’s past.

Speaking of Jam Cruise’s past, we’ve been bit by the nostalgia bug as we await the JC 12 lineup. We’ve prepped a list containing the lineups from each of the first 11 cruises as well as shared links to the extensive coverage of Jam Cruise we’ve published since 2004.
