Savannah In The Round 2026

Savannah in the Round has revealed the first headline acts for its 2026 festival, with Australian icons ICEHOUSE and legendary US singer-songwriter Don McLean leading the initial lineup announcement.

Set to take place from the 8th –11th of October at the Mareeba Rodeo Grounds, the four-day festival will once again deliver a multi-stage program featuring a mix of national, international and local artists, reinforcing its position as one of regional Queensland’s premier music events.

. “These are artists people will travel for, and they set the tone for a full weekend of live music and entertainment,” - Festival Director and Sound Australia CEO James Dein

Savannah in the Round continues to build on its strong reputation as a destination festival, drawing nearly 12,000 individual attendees last year and generating more than 30,000 attendances across the four days. With a format that encourages camping and exploration of the region, the event remains a significant boost for both tourism and the local Mareeba community.

Further artists will be announced in the coming months
