How to Tortuga: Updates on tickets, transportation and set times for your favorite country stars
The boots-in-the-sand hoedown known as the Tortuga Music Festival is on its way back to Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, the annual pilgrimage of country-music fans taking place April 4-6. The 2025 edition will feature two headliners at the height of their popularity in Luke Combs and Jelly Roll, along with crowd-pleasing heartthrob Keith Urban, who has not played the beach since 2018. In addition to the headliners, Tortuga 2025 is particularly strong in No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, to borrow some buzzy March Madness lingo. They include Megan Moroney, Parker McCollum, Jordan Davis, Cody Jinks, Marcus King and up-and-comer Wyatt Flores. Other performers to look forward to include Shaboozey (nominated for five Grammy Awards at ceremonies in February), pop-rock crooner Gavin DeGraw, Ludacris, The Original Wailers, rapper Yelawolf and Ezra Ray Hart, a collaboration featuring Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray and Emerson Hart of Tonic. Also worth seeking out is a set by Delray Beach indie rockers Artikal Sound System on Friday at 3:35 p.m. The band, led by spirited vocalist Logan Rex, in February released a shimmering new album, 'Are You Smiling Yet?' Since its revelatory debut in 2013 with headliners Kenny Chesney and Eric Church, Tortuga has been one of South Florida's great success stories, revealing the region as a country-music hotbed and showing what is possible for large gatherings of music fans. During its first dozen years, Tortuga has been a model of efficient execution, moving 25,000 fans on and off the beach each day, with few law-enforcement issues reported. It has been named Festival of the Year by the Academy of Country Music three times, in 2016, 2019 and 2023. Things To Do | Dierks Bentley coming to South Florida: Here's when tickets go on sale Things To Do | Sting coming to Hard Rock Live: Here's how to get tickets Things To Do | Billy Joel concert at Hard Rock Live postponed due to medical procedure This year's festival has again made single-day tickets available, especially helpful to locals who lack the time or the cash to spend on a three-day pass. On the down side, the price for a single-day ticket is $199, an increase of 33% from the $149 charged in 2024. The price for single-day VIP tickets is $799, up 2.5% over the $779 charged last year. Proceeds go to a good, locally relevant cause: Tortuga Music Festival was founded by nonprofit Rock the Ocean — created by part-time Fort Lauderdale resident Chris Stacey, a diver, ocean-environment advocate and music industry veteran — as the first large-scale music festival focused on ocean conservation. You'll find the Conservation Village is a centerpiece of the festival site and home to dozens of organizations that work on sustainability for the ocean and species that live in it. The festival has raised nearly $5 million for these initiatives.
