Teddy Swims, Jason Aldean, TLC to headline 2024 Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Teddy Swims, Jason Aldean and TLC will headline the highly anticipated 11th annual Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale.

The event will be held on April 5-7 at 1100 Seabreeze Blvd.

Other performers include Lainey Wilson, Hardy, Ashley McBryde, Old Dominion, Dee Jay Silver, Koe Wetzel, Bret Michaels, Boyz II Men, TLC, Bailey Zimmerman, Turnpike Troubadours, Russell Dickerson, Warren Zeiders and more.

In 2023, the festival asked its attendees to evacuate due to severe weather on Fort Lauderdale Beach, but sunny skies are expected this weekend while the event takes place.

Over the years, the festival has raised over $4 million for dozens of organizations dedicated to marine and ocean research and conservation organizations.

“It’s the biggest outreach opportunity that most of these organizations have all year. And then the money, depending on what they do, does various specific things,” said Chris Stacey, CEO of the Rock the Ocean foundation. “So, one great example is Bimini Shark Lab. The guy that runs that famous shark program you see on Shark Week every year pulled me aside one year and said, ‘I really appreciate the donations you guys give us the money you give us. It fuels our boats for being on the water all year.”'

Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the festival throughout the weekend.
