It seems Kenny Chesney has won so many accolades over his 30+ year career, they’re having to create new ones. Next month, when the singer headlines Tortuga Music Festival 2026, he’ll be honored with the first ever Ocean Legacy Award. In a statement, Kenny said, “To me, when people can come together to learn about the ocean, how to treat it and have a great time with their friends, that’s a total win. Even though we’re not touring this year, I do love playing on that beach, seeing all those boats in the water and fans having the best time on that beach. To be given an award for doing what I love somewhere that brings every bit of it together almost feels wrong, but I’m honored if I could be part of bringing how we treat the ocean into focus.” The award recognizes Chesney’s efforts to promote and protect the ocean over the course of his career.
