Post Malone, Riley Green, and Kenny Chesney will headline Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival in 2026.

This marks the first time Posty and Green have headlined, and Chesney’s fifth.

“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 shares. “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.”

Tortuga is more than just a music festival. Each year, the festival not only raises funds but also provides an opportunity to educate attendees about critical ocean conservation issues. While on-site, fans can visit Rock The Ocean’s Conservation Village to learn more about the organization’s mission and discover ways to get involved. To date, Tortuga fans have helped raise $6 million to support ocean conservation efforts. For more information, visit tortugamusicfestival.com/rock-the-ocean.
