Currently on her females-only Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars Tour — which stops at Orlando’s Amway Center on Nov. 9 with Maren Morris, Tenille Townes and her Pistol Annies trio — Lambert is scheduled to release a new album, “Wildcard,” on Nov. 1. She recently shared a single from the album, the gloriously retro-country ballad “Tequila Does.”
Lambert has had 14 Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including No. 1 hits “Somethin’ Bad,” “Heart Like Mine,” “Over You,” “The Heart That Built Me” and “We Were Us.”
This will be Bryan’s third year as a headliner at Tortuga (also in 2017 and 2014) and McGraw’s second (2016). Other headliners since the festival’s debut in 2013 include Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, the Zac Brown Band, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Chris Stapleton and Thomas Rhett.
Along with the music, the festival’s focus is in raising awareness on issues related to ocean conservation and research, as well as protection of sea turtles that nest along the Florida coast.
