Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival, produced in partnership with Live Nation, is unveiling the star-studded lineup for its 13th annual beachfront celebration, returning April 10–12, 2026 to the sandy shores of Fort Lauderdale, FL. The powerhouse lineup will feature “country music’s biggest stars” (Holler) including headliners Post Malone, Riley Green and Florida favorite Kenny Chesney, who has headlined multiple times, including the inaugural festival in 2013 and will be returning for his fifth Tortuga performance. “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 enthuses. “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.”
