Video ThumbnailLuke Combs, Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen are set to headline Tortuga Music Festival when it returns to Fort Lauderdale Beach Park in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on April 8-10, 2022. This will mark a much anticipated return to its normal April slot for the festival, which was canceled in 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the festival shifted to Nov. 12-14.
Other artists slated to perform during the three-day festival next year include Breland, Priscilla Block, Brothers Osborne, Jordan Davis, Travis Denning, Walker Hayes, Randy Houser, Scotty McCreery, Nelly, Brittney Spencer, Tiera, Mitchell Tenpenny, Hailey Whitters, Lainey Wilson, Chase Rice, The Cadillac Three, The War and Treaty, and more.
Combs is the reigning CMA entertainer of the year, and on last week’s CMA Awards show, he debuted the new track “Doin’ This.” Rhett is the reigning ACM male artist of the year (and a former ACM Awards entertainer of the year winner) and recently announced he will release two new albums next year. Meanwhile, Wallen will launch an arena tour in 2022, including stops at Madison Square Garden, Staples Center and Bridgestone Arena. Wallen’s current single “Sand in My Boots” is at No. 13 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart.
Tickets for Tortuga Music Festival will go on sale Friday, Dec. 3.
Tortuga Music Festival launched in 2013, with the dual purpose of offering an ocean-side festival as well as raising awareness for marine conservation. Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Gary Allan and Jake Owen were among the artists on the inaugural Tortuga Music Festival bill.

in London, joined by IDLES and Kojey Radical. He later collaborated with Fred Again.. on the electronic track “Lights Burn Dimmer,” which incorporates and reshapes elements from Jamie’s 2023 song “Hippodrome.”
During a conversation with Radio 1 presenter Jack Saunders on Wednesday, Aug. 19, Jamie called the collaboration a “big deal” for him. “That song, when I wrote it, I hadn’t realised until I heard Fred’s version how much hope was in the lyrics. I felt quite emotional when I heard Fred’s version, and his spin on it. That was really helpful for me, as I wrote that song at quite a difficult time in my life. To see it turned into a more euphoric thing was really quite lovely.”
Jamie will offer an early taste of the new album during a small, exclusive performance at Scala in London on Thursday, Aug. 20. The concert will be his first headline appearance since playing to 40,000 people at Finsbury Park, although he made a short guest appearance with Fred Again.. in February during the producer’s USB002 tour run at Alexandra Palace.
After breaking through in 2007 with the Mercury Prize nominated Panic Prevention, Jamie went on to release another four studio records, with each reaching the top 10 of the Official U.K. Albums Chart. He has also appeared at Glastonbury Festival on several occasions, including his widely praised headline performance on the Woodsies Stage in 2022.
