“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 said in a statement. “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.”
In addition to the headliners, the eclectic lineup will feature sets from Dwight Yoakam, Ice Cube, Tyler Hubbard, The Fray, Russell Dickerson, Dustin Lynch, Clay Walker, Lukas Nelson, Colbie Caillat, Uncle Kracker, G. Love & Special Sauce, Amanda Shires and many more.
Tickets will go on sale on Saturday (Oct. 18) at 10 a.m. ET here.
Others slated to perform include: Afroman, Graham Barham, Chayce Beckham, The Band Loula, Ashley Cooke, Preston Cooper, Adam David, Hunter Flynn, Flatland Cavalry, Cole Goodwin, Solon Holt, Greylan James, Mary Kutter, Lakeview, McCoy Moore, Elizabeth Nichols, Emily Ann Roberts, Owen Riegling, DJ Rock, Josh Ross, Rhys Rutherford, Dee Jay Silver, Shane Smith and the Saints, Sons of Legion, Brittney Spencer, Surfer Girl and others.
Each year, the festival raises funds and educates the public about the critical environmental issues impacting oceans, with fans invited to check out Rock the Ocean‘s on-site Conservation Village to learn more about how to get involved; to date, Tortuga attendees have helped raise more than $6 million for ocean conservation initiatives.
