“Our 2015 lineup is our most exciting yet,” says HUKA Entertainment co-founder and CEO A.J. Niland. “It’s truly a privilege to host premiere talent that includes a mix of old festival friends and new ones, and we look forward to providing a great experience in a beautiful setting that also supports the conservation of one of our greatest natural resources – the world’s oceans.”

“This event has created such a unique opportunity to celebrate our world’s oceans while educating ten of thousands of music fans about their threatened state,” adds Rock The Ocean founder Chris Stacey. “Bringing music, bands and conservation efforts together is a unique concept and I am thrilled that we are able to bring in talented ocean lovers like Kenny, Zac, and Jake this year. These guys really do care about our seas and will put on a heck of a show in their honor.”

Produced and promoted by HUKA Entertainment, Tortuga Music Festival takes place over two days and across three stages, featuring the hottest artists in country, rock and roots music.  Created together with the Rock the Ocean Foundation, the event serves to celebrate the festival’s oceanfront setting while raising awareness of issues impacting the world’s oceans and supporting marine research and conservation, as well as protect the festival’s namesake – sea turtles that nest annually along South Florida’s Atlantic seaboard.

This year’s festival will once again include a one-of-a-kind Conservation Village on site, which provides audience members with interactive exhibits, information and tools to help protect the world’s oceans.

Last year’s festival drew more than 44,000 music fans from all over the world. Proceeds from 2014’s Tortuga Music Festival ticket sales and donations contributed more than $100,000 toward marine and ocean research and conservation organizations.

Tortuga is also proud to welcome Festival Partners South Florida Ford and Corona.
