More acts announced for Savannah in the Round
Music Festival
The final group of artists set to play Savannah in the Round in October have been announced, with one of the lead acts having a strong connection to Port Douglas after playing here during Carnivale last month.
Australian music icons The Black Sorrows, Newcastle favourite Austin Mackay, indie rock singer/songwriter Eddie Skiba, delta blues, gospel and folk performers Karl S. Williams & Sally Wiggins, multi-instrumentalist David Flower and Friends, as well as Max Joy and the Honey Lovers, Raconteurs, Ella Hartwig, JC and the Tree, Whisky, Katie Richards Band, Mas Minimals and Dusty Haven, have joined the program.
Festival organisers are expecting to draw more than 10,000 fans to the Mareeba Rodeo Grounds from October 9-12.
Festival director James Dein said the 2025 program was shaping up to be the strongest in the event’s five-year history.
“Any time you have got Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows rolling into town, you know you are in for something great,” Dein said.
“They have shaped the sound of Australian music and we can’t wait to have them back on Savannah’s main stage,” he said.
The artists already announced include Zac Brown Band and Jackson Dean (US), James Reyne, Kasey Chambers, Daryl Braithwaite, James Johnston, Casey Barnes, Amy Sheppard, Rose Tattoo, Beccy Cole, The Road Hammers (CAN) and Jesse Daniel (US).
“Having Zac Brown Band headlining this year, a Grammy-winning act that sells out stadiums, really shows how much this outback music festival has grown."
