The 13th annual Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival is set to return to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida, from April 10 to 12, 2026. Headlined by major artists Post Malone, Kenny Chesney, and Riley Green, the festival promises to be an exciting musical event. Kenny Chesney, a frequent performer at Tortuga since its inception in 2013, expressed his enthusiasm for the festival, stating, “I love everything about Tortuga…the sea to one side and A1A to the other is everything this music is made of.” This marks Chesney’s fifth appearance at the festival, an indication of his strong connection to the event and its fans.
Beyond the headliners, the festival will feature a diverse lineup including artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Ice Cube, Tyler Hubbard, The Fray, Russell Dickerson, and Dustin Lynch, along with many others, creating a rich tapestry of musical styles for attendees to enjoy.
Tickets for the festival will go on sale on Saturday, October 18, at 10 a.m. ET, allowing fans an opportunity to secure their place at this celebrated event. The festival not only offers fantastic music but also serves a greater purpose. Each year, Tortuga raises awareness and funds for marine conservation.
