Riptide Music Festival 2023: Who’s playing, how to get tickets for Fort Lauderdale beach concerts
Riptide Music Festival is returning to the beach in Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 2-3 with a lineup led by influential rock duo The Black Keys, fast-rising rap-country crossover Jelly Roll, Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers and hometown favorite Flo Rida.
Two-day passes, starting at $109+, go on sale at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct.2, at RiptideMusicFestival.com. VIP and Super VIP accommodations also will be available.
Other acts set to perform during the all-ages concerts at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park include Silversun Pickups, Lovejoy, Cannons, MisterWives, Beach Weather, The Beaches, Little Image and Jack Kays. More performers are expected to be added.
In the event you just got here, Riptide is the original name of the oceanfront music gathering known as Audacy Beach Festival in 2021 and 2022.
Riptide Music Festival debuted in 2016, three years after Tortuga Music Festival created the template for putting on a multiday music event at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park. Like Tortuga, Riptide had a name that made sense for its seaside environment. And it was cool.

In 2021, event creator Entercom Communications changed its name to Audacy and decided to rename the festival as well. Thankfully, they have come to their senses.
Over the years, the Riptide/Audacy festivals have featured an admirably diverse list of performers, among them Lil Nas X, Steve Aoki, Swedish House Mafia, The Killers, The 1975, The Struts, Panic! At The Disco, Weezer, Soul Asylum, The Revivalists, Dashboard Confessional, Alice Merton, Boyz II Men, The B-52s, A Flock of Seagulls, K.C. and The Sunshine Band, and Earth, Wind and Fire.
