Savannah in the Round has unveiled the first wave of its 2026 lineup, confirming a return to the Mareeba Rodeo Grounds in Queensland from 8th - 11th October, 2026. The North Queensland festival continues to build its reputation as a major regional destination event, blending iconic international names with Australian favourites across four days of live music.

Leading the announcement are Australian rock legends Icehouse and global songwriting icon Don McLean, setting the tone for a lineup built on legacy and wide-reaching appeal. With decades-spanning catalogues including timeless hits, both artists are expected to draw crowds travelling from across the country for the festival’s next edition.

The first drop also features a strong roster of Australian acts including Lee Kernaghan, Ian Moss, Troy Cassar-Daley, San Cisco and Mental As Anything, alongside Busby Marou, Dragon and The Wolfe Brothers. International additions such as The Road Hammers and Dan Davidson further expand the lineup, reinforcing the festival’s mix of country, rock and roots influences.

With its destination-style format encouraging multi-day stays, Savannah in the Round continues to deliver significant regional impact while offering fans a unique festival experience in Tropical North Queensland. More artists are expected to be announced in the coming months, with tickets on sale now as anticipation builds for the 2026 edition.
