Savannah Sounds line-up revealed
THE official program for Savannah Sounds has been released ahead of the Port Douglas Carnivale weekend, with three days of live music set for Rex Smeal Park from Friday 22 May to Sunday 24 May 2026.
The event will feature Jon Stevens, Vanessa Amorosi, Sneaky Sound System and Dragon, alongside a strong supporting line-up across the three days.
Festival director and Sound Australia chief executive officer James Dein said the program announcement would allow festivalgoers to plan their weekend and make the most of the music offering.
“Friday is a family-friendly night, with great music, food and one of the best spots in town to watch the fireworks over the water,” he said.
“Saturday is going to be huge with Jon Stevens, Vanessa Amorosi and Kingswood, while Sunday rounds out the weekend with Dragon bringing the hits. It is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend and a Carnivale party not to be missed.”
Friday night kicks off with local DJs from 4.30pm, followed by Racounters at 7pm, the Carnivale fireworks display at 8pm, Kairos Kin at 8.15pm and Sneaky Sound System closing the night at 9.30pm.
Gates open on Saturday at 12pm with Taylor Sheridan, Carinda Christie, Austin Mackay and Sara Berki. Kingswood takes the stage at 6.15pm, Vanessa Amorosi at 8pm and Jon Stevens at 9.45pm. Sunday opens at 1pm with The Joker Pokers, Pelicana, Hillbilly Goats and Whiskey across the afternoon, before Dragon brings the festival to a close at 7.45pm.
