BACARDÍ Turns Up the Heat at Tortuga Music Festival with Next From Nashville Stage
As the sun dips behind the shoreline of Fort Lauderdale Beach and the guitars begin to hum, festivalgoers at the Tortuga Music Festival will find more than just their favorite country headliners on stage. This year, BACARDÍ brings a new kind of buzz—and we don’t just mean the cocktails. From April 4–6, the BACARDÍ Next From Nashville Stage delivers a high-octane blend of live music, dance, and tropical mixology, transforming a section of 1100 Seabreeze Boulevard into a 21+ playground.
Open to all Tortuga ticket holders of legal drinking age, this multi-day experience isn't simply an activation. It’s a curated destination—a sonic and spirited convergence designed to amplify every beat of the festival weekend.
Where Rum Meets Rhythm
Headlining this year’s BACARDÍ Next From Nashville Stage are some of today’s most talked-about country, rock, and roots artists. With chart-toppers like Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, and Shaboozey gracing the lineup, the energy is primed to surge well beyond sunset.
Between live sets, DJ performances will keep the tempo high, and a full-on PBR Line Dancing takeover is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday evening—offering a uniquely Southern twist that nods to Nashville while staying true to Tortuga’s coastal pulse. It’s here that laid-back beach vibes collide with high-energy entertainment, and the result is a seamless blend of sound, movement, and mood.
