TORTUGA MUSIC FESTIVAL CELEBRATES COUNTRY MUSIC AND MORE
IN SUNNY FORT LAUDERDALE

11TH ANNUAL FESTIVAL HOSTS PERFORMANCES FROM LAINEY WILSON, HARDY, JASON ALDEAN, BRET MICHAELS, MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD, TEDDY SWIMS AND ASHLEY MCBRYDE, AMONGST OTHERS

To Date, Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival Has Raised
Nearly 5 Million For Ocean Conservation Efforts

 

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival, in partnership with Live Nation, hosted fans for a weekend of unmatched entertainment featuring headliners Lainey Wilson, HARDY and Jason Aldean. Praised for having an “eclectic” lineup that is “deep in talent” (Sun Sentinel), the 11th annual festival brought over 40 artists ranging from country’s hottest new stars like Bailey Zimmerman and CMA Award winning Group of the Year Old Dominion to icons like Bret Michaels, Boyz II Men and TLC.

On Friday, the Sunset Stage kicked off Tortuga right with performances from Shwayze, Boys II Men, Teddy Swims and Ashley McBryde. On the Main Stage, Warren Zeiders invited Teddy Swims to perform a special rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey.” Shortly after, Turnpike Troubadours’ driving country-rock welcomed in the first scenic sunset of the festival. A crowd favorite, Lainey Wilson closed opening night with her signature “Bell Bottom Country” sound, belting her GRAMMY-winning hits as fans danced along under the warm night sky.

The uplifting energy continued on Saturday with nearly 20 performances set against a sunny backdrop and a sea of fans. Appropriately, Michael Franti & Spearhead filled the main stage with their vibrant ‘sounds of sunshine,’ setting the tone for Old Dominion, whose performance elicited enthusiastic sing-alongs from the crowd. Meanwhile, multi-platinum entertainer Russell Dickerson brought his “unstoppable energy” (E! News) to the Sunset Stage and was followed by rock icon Bret Michaels. Singing Poison classics like “Your Mama Don’t Dance” and “Nothing But a Good Time,” Michaels surprised fans by inviting Cooper Alan up for a “Sweet Home Alabama” duet. HARDY closed the night and pushed genre boundaries with his one-of-a-kind blend of nu-metal and country on the Main Stage.

Rounding out the sunny, star-studded weekend, fans at the Sunset Stage were able to experience the carefree songs of the Wheeland Brothers, much-anticipated 90s legends TLC and country-folk singer Charles Wesley Godwin. The Main Stage opened with DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley, followed by Bailey Zimmerman delivering an energetic set proving why he’s “Country’s Biggest New Star” (Grammy.com). ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean followed, closing out the 2024 festival with hits like “My Kinda Party” and “Lights Come On” featuring Bailey Zimmerman.

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 Sadie Bass, Annie Bosko, The Castellows, Kolby Cooper, Logan Crosby, Hannah Ellis, Dylan Gossett, HunterGirl, Greylan James, Meg McRee, Peytan Porter, Josh Ross, Austin Snell, Anne Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr.

Since its inception in 2013, Tortuga has raised nearly $5 million supporting 100+ nonprofits dedicated to saving our oceans and marine life as well as groundbreaking research in the United States, Bahamas, South Africa and Asia. Last year, the festival received the prestigious 2023 Bronze Stevie Award for Sustainability Leadership in the US and Canada at the 20th Annual International Business Awards. Sustainability at the 2024 Tortuga Music Festival focused on three major goals involving all departments – “Reduce, Rethink and Restore” – to reduce CO2 emissions and waste going to landfills, to explore green products and technologies, and to implement policies to protect Marine ecosystems and support ocean conservation efforts. Rock The Ocean’s on-site Conservation Village gives festival guests the opportunity to learn more about where a portion of the proceeds from their passes go and how they can help make a difference.

Day 3 was Sunday, April 16th. It was another hot one, but clouds kept creeping in as the day turned to night. Tens of thousands of country music fans showed up in force to live out the “No Shoes Nation” lifestyle romanticized about in Kenny Chesney’s songs. Despite it being the third and final day of the festival, the crowd showed up early and was full of energy, with the weekend’s strongest lineup to look forward to.

Niko Moon at Tortuga ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen, Niko Moon, Ashley Cooke, Shane Profitt and Dee Jay Silver kept the Allegiant Main Stage rocking all day long, from the paved VIP area right through to the sandy General Admission side. Jake Owen and Niko Moon are full of so much energy and joy on stage, that they could not sit still for a moment. Both will likely be headlining this festival in the near future. South Florida’s own Ashley Cooke shared a story about standing on the beach as a teenager at the very first Tortuga Music Festival, watching Kenny Chesney perform. On this day, she not only opened for Chesney on the main stage, she also performed a duet with him during his set, crushing ‘When The Sun Goes Down’. Dreams do come true when you work hard and believe in yourself.

Justin Moore, Collie Buddz, Kidd G, Nate Smith, Kylie Morgan and DJ Rock played the Sunset Stage presented by Visible by Verizon. Once again, the second main stage offered the most variety, and fans of each act had the chance to get up close to enjoy great songs from artists with their own unique style.

Megan Moroney, Alana Springsteen, Frank Ray, Mackenzie Carpenter and George Birge showed their skills on the Next From Nashville stage presented by Bacardi.

There was a ton of talent on display this weekend, and some of these artists will be playing the main stage in the future.

The organizers of Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival clearly know what they are doing. The original schedule allows for a buffer in case of bad weather. Kenny Chesney hit the stage earlier than planned, in hopes of finishing before the lightning storm got anywhere close. Unfortunately, about 30 minutes into his set, as he was playing ‘Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven’, we were forced to evacuate due to dangerous weather approaching. Everyone left in an orderly fashion, hoping the storm would pass quickly. When word came down at 9:30 that Chesney would resume playing at 10:00, the majority of festival goers made it back in to see another hour of hits. Kenny kept things moving, playing mostly upbeat songs to get in as many as possible before the 11:00 noise curfew. No Shoes Nation was ecstatic to be able to sing along and dance with their toes in the sand.

Shania Twain, Carly Pearce, Jameson Rodgers, Brittney Spencer, Alexandra Kay and Dee Jay Silver shone as brightly as the sun on the Allegiant Main Stage. Shania Twain played a brilliant set featuring several joyful new songs, some acoustic covers and all of the many hits fans were delighted to dance and sing along to. Her main theme for the night was joy and celebrating what makes each person happy. Judging by the roar of the crowd, her music is one of the things that makes millions happy. Carly Pearce performed earlier on the main stage, and she took the opportunity to thank Shania for inspiring her, and so many others, to write their own songs, make their own rules and manifest their own destiny.

Day 1 was Friday, April 14th and the festival gates opened at noon for tens of thousands of country music fans to hit the beach. Record-breaking rains left much of Fort Lauderdale flooded all week, including the FLL airport which was shut down over 2 days, causing many to scramble to make other plans. Those plans included flying to other Florida airports and catching rides, and driving as many as 25 hours just to get to the best festival of the year. Turns out that the beach and the ocean have a long-standing agreement about water, so the festival grounds were not flooded and every stage, vendor booth and fan activation was available. Despite a brief weather-caused evacuation, the show went on as planned.

Eric Church, Cole Swindell, Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, Deana Carter, Wade Bowen and Dee Jay Silver performed on the Allegiant Main Stage. This stage was set on the southern end of the area, and was flanked on the street side by a massive multi-story cabana area for VIP patrons. Cole Swindell was a dynamo and really had the whole crowd moving and singing along. They were clearly ecstatic that the 1 hour evacuation did not prevent them from missing anything. Eric Church closed the night in style, with a headliner set full of hits.

Brett Young, Wiz Khalifa, Lauren Alaina, Tyler Braden, Pecos & The Rooftops and DJ Rock played the Sunset Stage presented by Visible by Verizon. This stage bookended the grounds on the north end, and was truly an additional main stage, more than a second stage. Many fans claimed that Wiz Khalifa put on the best show of the night. Despite not being from the country music genre, his laid-back, party-flavored rhymes fit in well at the end of a long, hot day at the beach.

Ray Wylie Hubbard, Red Clay Strays, Aaron Raitiere, Pillbox Patti and Catie Offerman graced the Next From Nashville stage presented by Bacardi. This stage was placed under a tent in the middle of the grounds, providing a nice stopping point between main stages. Up and coming artists got a chance to catch some ears and hopefully gain some new fans. Some of the artists who had previously played here have now graduated to main stage status.

Fans at Tortuga ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

Considering the logistical challenges of hosting a festival on the beach, with Florida’s unpredictable weather and the sheer number of people travelling in for the show, this was the best-run major music festival I have ever been to. The music was incredible, the amenities were top-notch and plentiful, the prices were reasonable and nobody seemed to have a bad time at all. Country fans were chill, friendly and happy throughout the day and into the night. They even walked up the beach to enjoy the after hours nightlife at the many interesting Fort Lauderdale bars and restaurants.
