Now in its sixth year, the countrymusic event has set an attendance record each time out.
The sold-out 2017 festival drew more than 100,000 people to Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, with fans from all 50 states and 22 countries, according to event organizers.
Produced by the ecologyminded Rock the Ocean, in partnership with Live Nation, the festival was named Festival of the Year by the Academy of Country Music for its idyllic setting, ocean-conservation themes and an always-eclectic lineup.
Other acts on the bill in 2018 include the Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice, Dan + Shay, Russell Dickerson, Kip Moore, Chase Rice, Lucie Silvas, William Michael Morgan, Muscadine Bloodline, Dylan Scott, Sister Hazel, the Cadillac Three and Tyminski. More acts are expected to be named.
As always, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales help fund research on sea turtles and ocean conservation.
