Why Volunteer?
Volunteers are the heartbeat of Savannah Sounds. 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 Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May 2026. Volunteers working during the
festival must be available across all three days; some teams also operate during setup and pack-down
outside these dates.
- Commit up to 9 hours across 1-3 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 Sounds Port Douglas.
- 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.
