What could be better than spending a day on the sandy shores listening to your favorite tunes with a drink in hand? Absolutely nothing! Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival is returning to Fort Lauderdale this April and to get you excited for the 13th annual celebration, they’ve already announced the daily lineup.
Held across three stages, you can expect a star-studded roster of performers like Tyler Hubbard, Dwight Yoakam, Ice Cube, The Fray, Colbie Caillat, Dustin Lynch, Russell Dickerson, Uncle Kracker, Afroman, Flatland Cavalry, Amanda Shires and Clay Walker.
This year’s headliners include Post Malone, Riley Green and Kenny Chesney, who is returning for his fifth Tortuga performance and has headlined multiple times.
“I love everything about Tortuga, starting with that very first year! To be on the Atlantic Ocean with all that beach, the sea to one side and A1A to the other is everything this music is made of—and the people who’ve been coming out every time we’ve played there are my kind of people,” Chesney said in a statement. “Work hard, play harder and have fun while loving everyone in the space is a good way to be, and I can’t wait to get there next April.”
Other notable names on the lineup include rising stars Ashley Cooke, Josh Ross, Brittney Spencer, Owen Riegling, Surfer Girl, G. Love and Special Sauce. See the full list of artists below:
Beyond the music, Tortuga is committed to environmental education and action, raising $6 million for ocean conservation initiatives to date. Through their partnership with Rock The Ocean, the festival features an on-site Conservation Village where fans can learn about marine protection and how to get involved.
Tortuga Music Festival runs from April 10 to 12 this year at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park. Find out more and grab your tickets here.
