The stage solely built for up-and-coming Nashville acts has been praised by Rolling Stone for “shining the spotlight on new talent” and a place “where up-and-comers are given a chance to introduce their music in between sets by veteran acts.” The launchpad performance opportunity has become a well-known hit at Tortuga’s sister festivals, which include Faster Horses Festival, Watershed Festival and Country LakeShake, for propelling new artists upward in the genre.
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.
