Here Are the Tortuga Music Festival 2026 Set Times

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival will take place this weekend, featuring a lineup packed with stars from every corner of the music world.

Returning April 10–12, 2026, to the sandy shores of Fort Lauderdale Beach, the 13th annual Tortuga promises another unforgettable weekend of sun, sound, and ocean conservation. Produced in partnership with Live Nation, the festival once again delivers a genre-blending roster that feels just as much like a beach party as it does a celebration of country music’s biggest names.

The headliner everyone’s talking about is Post Malone, who has gone full Texan thanks to his F-1 Trillion project — a record that’s turned the Dallas native into one of the genre’s biggest crossover stars. Collaborating with Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, Post’s country era has proven he can hang with the best of them. His Hard Rock Stadium show this past summer showed he knows exactly how to entertain a crowd, and his laid-back, soulful twang is going to hit perfectly with the Fort Lauderdale crowd.

He’s joined by Riley Green, every country girl’s favorite hunk, and Kenny Chesney, a South Florida icon and longtime Tortuga favorite who’s returning for his fifth appearance. Chesney, who also headlined the inaugural 2013 festival, shared his love for Tortuga in a statement: “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… I can’t wait to get there next April.”

But Tortuga’s always been more than just a country fest — and this year’s lineup proves it. Hip-hop legend Ice Cube is set to bring his unfiltered energy to the beach, while 2000s hitmakers The Fray will deliver all the nostalgia from their How To Save A Life era. Other notable names include Dustin Lynch, Tyler Hubbard, Russell Dickerson, Dwight Yoakam, Flatland Cavalry, Lukas Nelson, Ashley Cooke, Amanda Shires, Colbie Caillat, Uncle Kracker, G. Love & Special Sauce, Afroman, and plenty more.

Beyond the music, Tortuga continues to champion its mission of ocean conservation through its partnership with the Rock The Ocean Foundation. Each year, the festival raises awareness and funds for marine life protection — with over $6 million raised to date. Attendees can explore the on-site Conservation Village to learn more about the foundation’s work and how to get involved.

With its mix of country heavyweights, nostalgic throwbacks, and unexpected guests, Tortuga 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting — and sun-soaked — festivals South Florida has to offer.
