Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival will return to Ft. Lauderdale Beach, Florida, for its 13th edition featuring a very familiar face as one of three headliners: Kenny Chesney will mark his fifth Tortuga show since 2013. Rounding out the headlining roster are Post Malone and Riley Green.

In a statement, Chesney said, “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. 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 Tortuga 2026 performers will include Ice Cube, Amanda Shires, Tyler Hubbard, the Fray, Brittney Spencer, Colbie Caillat, Uncle Kracker, Afroman, and about three dozen more acts. Among them: Shane Smith and the Saints, Dwight Yoakam, Flatland Cavalry, Lukas Nelson, Amanda Shires, and G. Love & Special Sauce.

Rock the Ocean Foundation is a conservation non-profit whose core work protects sea turtles, marine mammals, coral reefs, sharks, and marine habitats. Since the Tortuga Beach Festival started in 2013, its site reports, a portion of the proceeds is donated to the foundation. The festival holds a Conservation Village on site for educational and service-based activations like a virtual shark dive, a trash-drop-off site in exchange for potential prizes, and chances to learn about eco-friendly brands. According to a release, Tortuga attendees have helped raise more than $6 million for ocean conservation initiatives to date.
