2017 Tortuga Music Festival Headliners Announced
The headliners for the 2017 Tortuga Music Festival have been announced, including some of the biggest names in contemporary country music.
Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton will act as headliners for the fifth annual festival, held on the sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park in Florida.
The headliners will have some talented back-up including Alan Jackson, Darius Rucker, Brett Eldredge, Dustin Lynch, Old Dominion, Maren Morris and LoCash.
Country newcomers will also have their time to shine on the Tortuga stage, including Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Russell Dickerson, RaeLynn, Brett Young and many more.
The festival will take place April 7-9. Tickets for the show and a full list of performers are available on the festival's website.
The 2017 festival is Chesney's third time acting as a headliner, after making previous appearances in 2013 and 2015. He'll have some new music to play as well, with new songs from his just-released Cosmic Hallelujah, which features the hit singles "Noise" and "Setting the World on Fire."
“I’ve been blessed with some of the best songs out there, some songs written, actually, just for this album by writers whose work I’ve loved for years,” Chesney says of the new album, for which he pushed back the initial release date.
“When ‘Setting the World on Fire’ came together, it opened a window of time — and some songs that had come in after we were done, I didn’t have to save for the next album. Suddenly, everything was changing, and the album I’m releasing now has a lot of what made Some Town Somewhere capture the essential part of who the No Shoes Nation is, but really takes the your-life-is-now piece of The Big Revival and expands it."
