Why Volunteer?

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Savannah in the Round. By joining our crew, you’ll play a vital role in bringing
this incredible festival to life—helping create unforgettable experiences for artists, audiences and fellow crew
alike.
Volunteering is not only deeply rewarding, it’s also a fantastic addition to your CV. Best of all, it’s loads of fun:
you’ll meet incredible people, work behind the scenes, and enjoy world-class music in a truly unique outback
setting.

Before You Apply

Please take a moment to:

  • Review the minimum requirements below.
  • If you’re employed, tentatively request leave for the festival period.
  • Check for any clashes with study, family, travel or other commitments.
  • If you have already purchased tickets, please note that they are non-refundable if you are later accepted as a
    volunteer.

How to Stand Out

We love volunteers who bring energy and flexibility. You don’t need prior experience (though it’s great if you
have it), but applications shine when they show:

  • A willingness to be flexible with roles and availability.
  • Relevant skills (e.g. customer service, retail, trades, event work).
  • A positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm.

Minimum Requirements

To be part of the Savannah crew, you must:

  • Be available for the full festival period of Thursday 8 – Sunday 11 October 2026. Volunteers working during
    the festival must be available across all four days; some teams also operate during setup and pack-down
    outside these dates.
  • Commit to 16 hours across 2-4 days (depending on your chosen role).
  • Be 18 years of age or older at the time of the festival.
  • Bring a positive, proactive attitude.
  • Represent the festival in a friendly, respectful and professional manner at all times.
  • Have a basic understanding of, and respect for, workplace health and safety.
  • Be comfortable working in warm conditions (daily highs may reach 30°C+).
  • Be available to attend a pre-festival briefing (online or on-site).
     

Volunteer Package

In return for your time and energy, each volunteer receives:

  • A Season Festival Ticket for Savannah in the Round.
  • An Unpowered Campsite in the volunteer campground.
  • Early access to the campgrounds – volunteers may arrive from Tuesday 6 October, ahead of general public
    access on Wednesday.
  • A souvenir Crew T-Shirt.
  • And, of course… the experience of a lifetime.


We can’t wait to welcome you to the Savannah in the Round family.
