Tortuga Music Festival is returning to Fort Lauderdale Beach for a three-day run April 10–12, per an announcement from the organizer's Instagram account. The confirmed headliners are Post Malone, Kenny Chesney, and Riley Green, performing across multiple stages set directly on the oceanfront.
The festival's beachfront format — general-admission access to the sand, with stages visible from the water — separates it from arena and fairground events and has made it a consistent draw for both local attendees and visitors flying in for the weekend. According to the organizer's Instagram, Tortuga draws thousands annually and bills itself as one of the largest beach music festivals in the country.
Kenny Chesney, who has headlined Tortuga in prior editions, returns alongside Post Malone and Riley Green — a pairing that stretches the lineup from country into pop and hip-hop and reflects the event's gradual expansion beyond its original country-leaning audience. No stage assignments or set times were included in the announcement.
The three-day footprint on Fort Lauderdale Beach typically activates the A1A hospitality corridor in both directions — hotels, restaurants, and beach bars within walking distance of the festival grounds absorb significant overflow traffic across the weekend. The April 10–12 window lands in the final stretch of peak spring season, before summer heat and humidity thin the visitor base.
Tickets and a full programming schedule had not been released at the time of the Instagram posting. Watch for the secondary lineup and stage map, which in past years have drawn strong secondary-market interest from attendees building multi-day itineraries around the beach.
