Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival Continues To Amplify 

Sustainability Efforts and Ocean Conservation 

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival, in partnership with Live Nation, hosted fans for a weekend of unmatched entertainment featuring headliners Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, and Keith Urban. Dubbed a “a sun-drenched, beachside country festival that doubles-up as a key fundraising event for ocean conservation” with an “impressive roster of performers” (Holler.) the 12th annual festival brought over 40 artists ranging from country’s hottest new stars like Parker McCollum, Jordan Davis, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, rap legend Ludacris, and more.

On Friday, the Sunset Stage kicked off Tortuga with performances from John Morgan and Marcus King. Marcus King treated the crowd to a cover of Tyler Childers’ “Shake The Frost,” and was later joined by his wife, Briley, for a few songs. The crowd went wild as Ludacris took the stage to celebrate 25 years of hits with bangers like “Money Maker” and “What’s Your Fantasy.” Over on the Main Stage, the festival opened with Angie K, Gavin DeGraw, Gary Allan, and Parker McCollum, who welcomed in the first sunset of the festival with his hits “Pretty Heart” and his new single, “What Kinda Man.” To close out opening night, fan favorite Jelly Roll delivered an explosive set, lighting up the sky with pyrotechnics during songs like “Liar,” “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” and “Save Me.” 

The high energy carried into Saturday, with nearly 20 performances set against a sunny backdrop and a sea of eager fans. The Main Stage came alive as the Wheeland Brothers created the atmosphere with their signature blend of surf rock and reggae, performing their hit “Rock Me Like The Ocean.” The stage continued to shine with performances from rising stars Wyatt Flores, Meghan Patrick and Jordan Davis, each bringing their own unique flair to the festivities. Meanwhile on the Sunset Stage, country’s hottest new star, Shaboozey, took the Sunset Stage and had the crowd singing along to his hits, creating an unforgettable moment under the Florida sun. The Sunset Stage also hosted The Original Wailers, who brought reggae vibes to the crowd, while supergroup Ezra Ray Hart energized the audience with a medley of Sugar Ray’s “When It’s Over” and Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun.” Closing out the Main Stage, Keith Urban ignited the crowd with an unforgettable set that had fans enthusiastically singing along to classics like “Somebody Like You” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” He also invited up-and-coming artist Karley Scott Collins for a duet on “GO HOME W U.”

Wrapping up the sunny, star-studded weekend, fans at the Sunset Stage were treated to unforgettable performances from artists like Restless Road, Bumpin Uglies, Yelawolf, and a crowd filled with singalongs to Megan Moroney’s hits “Am I Okay” and “No Caller ID.” Over on the Main Stage, the festivities kicked off with Caylee Hammack, who sang a unique country-laden version of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” She was followed by country-rock anthems from Corey Kent and Cody Jinks, who each brought their own distinctive energy to the weekend. The night reached its peak as Luke Combs wrapped up the 2025 festival with an energy-filled set full of hits like “Forever After All” and “When It Rains It Pours,” leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement and ending the 2025 festival on a high note.

The weekend also showcased the next generation of country music featured on the festival’s first year of the Next From Nashville stage, giving attendees a chance to discover the genre’s hottest acts including Abby Anderson, Avery Anna, Bayker Blankenship, Bryce Leatherwood, Charlie Worsham, Denitia, Jade Eagleson, Jenna LaMaster, Karley Scott Collins, Kashus Culpepper, Lauren Watkins, Mae Estes, Noah Hicks and Thomas Edwards.

Since its debut in 2013, Tortuga has been making waves—raising millions and supporting over 100 nonprofits dedicated to ocean conservation and marine life protection. These efforts have spanned across the U.S., Bahamas, South Africa, and Asia, with groundbreaking research making a real impact. In 2024 alone, thanks to the incredible support from Tortuga fans, 114.7 tons of materials were diverted from landfills through the festival’s sustainability and recycling initiatives. In 2025, Tortuga’s sustainability efforts have focused on three key goals: Reduce, Rethink, and Restore. These goals aim to cut down on CO2 emissions and landfill waste, embrace eco-friendly products and cutting-edge technologies, and adopt policies that protect marine ecosystems and champion ocean conservation. One of the festival’s standout features is Rock The Ocean’s Conservation Village, where attendees can discover exactly how their ticket purchases are making a difference and learn how they can personally contribute to the cause.

Country Thunder Florida 2023 kicked off at Osceola Heritage Park in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee, Florida on October 20, 2023. Day 1 of this outstanding festival showcased Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum, Jo Dee Messina, Shane Profitt, Josh Ross and Charly Reynolds.

Cody Johnson was spectacular, delivering great songs and messages of resilience and hope. Johnson is a true headliner who entertained throughout the night, culminating in a stirring rendition of consensus song of the year, “‘Til You Can’t”. Rising star Parker McCollum was an electric support act, cranking out several hits, including the clever “Handle On You”.

Jo Dee Messina continued her resurgence, helped along by the massive success of Cole Swindell’s “She Had Me At Heads Carolina”. Fans were treated to 2 versions of the original classic “Heads Carolina, Tails California”. After getting through most of her set, Messina suddenly lost her singing voice. She apologized to the crowd, and had her band play the song again, with her backup singer taking lead, as she signed every hat, boot and sign that she could. It was a pro move by a class act, which was well received.

Shane Profitt and his band put on a great show, featuring catchy tunes like “How It Oughta Be” and “Better Off Fishin'”. Josh Ross had plenty of hits of his own, including “Ain’t The One”, “Trouble” and “Red Flags”. Orlando’s own Charly Reynolds got things going with a non-stop set of songs you oughta know, highlighted by “Rodeo”, “Flowers”, “Sand Bar” and her cover of “Neon Moon”.
