It’s almost here.
With Tortuga Music Festival on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, just one week away, fans across the country are preparing for an unforgettable weekend filled with some of the hottest acts in country music today. With Luke Combs, Jelly Roll and Keith Urban as headliners, the festival promises to provide one of the most dynamic music events of the year.
Along with Combs, Urban and Jelly Roll, Tortuga is enlisting some heavy hitters across multiple different scenes in the genre, including the likes of Megan Moroney, Wyatt Flores, Cody Jinks, Parker McCollum, Avery Anna, Jordan Davis, Gary Allan, Rodney Atkins and more, ensuring there’s something for everyone throughout the three-day event.
With three separate stages, multiple lounges, photo opportunities and cocktail bars aplenty, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s going to be the highlight of the festival. With that being said, however, BACARDÍ’s Next From Nashville Stage looks to be one of the heavy hitters.
With hot up-and-comers, Kashus Culpepper, Bayker Blankenship, Avery Anna, Karley Scott Collins, Lauren Watkins and more set to take the stage over the weekend, this may be one of the last times you’ll see them in such an intimate setting, given all the buzz surrounding them over the past year. But it’s really all of the extra festivities that will set the stage apart for many festival-goers.
Bacardí’s Next From Nashville Stage will offer free line dancing presented by PBR (Professional Bull Riders) on Saturday and Sunday evening, sets from local DJs between performances and most notably, serve delicious festival-exclusive cocktails which promise to “bring the tropical spirit to Tortuga.”
Custom cocktails include the Tortuga Colada, Laudy Daudy Mojito and Mango Fuego and Bluezy Lemonade. Canned rum punches and mojitos will also be served throughout the weekend.
