Up to 15,000 people are expected to attend the debut Savannah In The Round music festival next year.
Taking place in the rural town of Mareeba in far North Queensland across the October Queen’s Birthday long weekend (2-4 October), the inaugural event will host 30 yet-to-be-announced acts and is also expected to showcase an "international line-up of country music’s finest talents".
"We also offer the amazing tablelands, one of the best festival sites in the country, the reef, the rainforest and the hottest line-up of country acts from around the world," Mareeba Councillor Edward ‘Nipper’ Brown said.
"It’s the perfect mix for visitors and locals alike."
Savannah In The Round, managed by respected event company Sound Australia, will also include a strong focus on First Nations culture (to coincide with the Year of Indigenous Tourism) and feature First Nations storytelling, artists, music and dance.
"The Mareeba festival site is as good as I have seen in the country," festival director and Sound Australia CEO James Dein said.
"With such great infrastructure and the incredible reef and rainforest experiences on their doorstep, I can’t imagine any international artist not wanting to put this great new event on their calendar.
"It’s an amazing opportunity for Tropical North Queensland and shows the State again leading the way."
