Following the megastar headliner reveal, the festival also announced it
will add a third stage, dubbed “Next from Nashville” in 2019, in
addition to the Main Stage and Sunset Stage, which will bring more acts
to the festival than ever before. At Tortuga’s sister festivals, which
include Faster Horses Festival, Watershed Festival and Country
LakeShake, the “Next from Nashville” stage has become a platform for the
hottest newcomers in the country genre to share their voice with new
found fans and give existing fans the opportunity to watch their
favorite emerging acts shred in the festival scene. The launchpad
performance opportunity has been praised for “shining the spotlight on
new talent… where up-and-comers are given a chance to introduce their
music in between sets by the veteran acts,” (Rolling Stone).
Tortuga Music Festival, established in 2013, quickly became one of the
most sought-after festivals, pulling fans from all around the world to
enjoy three days of fun in the sun while a manifold of artists across
all genres create a one-of-a-kind festival experience. Tortuga Music
Festival also strives to raise funds and awareness of the issues that
the world’s ocean currently face, as well as supporting marine
conservation and research. Attendees can also learn more about where a
portion of the proceeds from their passes go, onsite at the festival at
Rock The Ocean’s Conservation Village. Offering an arena of exhibits
within the festival grounds, fans can experience games, interactive
touch tanks, cooking exhibitions, the latest ocean technology, and learn
how they can help make a difference. For more information, visit: TortugaMusicFestival.com/conservation/.
