Set to return to Tropical North Queensland in October, Savannah In The Round's 2023 line-up is packed with Aussie legends, established stars and a crop of emerging FNQ talent.
The three-day camping music festival staged in Mareeba in the Cairns Hinterland (6-8 October) will welcome rock music icon Jimmy Barnes, country queen Kasey Chambers, everyone's favourite horseman Daryl Braithwaite and pop-soul-jazz singer Kate Ceberano.There's also a cavalcade of country music stars including Beccy Cole, Adam Harvey, Fanny Lumsden, Brad Cox, James Johnston and Casey Barnes, without forgetting Australian Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Don Walker (Cold Chisel).
"A few years ago I had the pleasure of heading to North Queensland as part of my Shutting Down Your Town tour and it re-opened my eyes to just how beautiful this country can be," Jimmy Barnes says.
"With a combination of some of the country's most beautiful locations, populated by some great North Queensland music lovers, I couldn't be happier to be heading up to Mareeba for Savannah In The Round this year."
Adds Casey Barnes: "SAVANNAH 2023! One of my absolute favourite festivals to play and what a line-up!"
Savannah In The Round will also host a special edition of the Great Northern Bullriding Series, seeing some of the world's best riders go head to head.
There'll also be a stack of opportunities for local musicians to peddle their wares to new audiences with the likes of The Pigs, Black Image, Roz Pappalardo, Out Of Abingdon and many more playing.
"We're dedicated to championing our Aussie acts and putting the spotlight on them first," Event Director James Dein says, "but watch this space; still have a few surprises up our sleeves – both local and tourists."
Tickets are on sale.
