TENS of thousands of music-lovers flooded through the gates of Kerribee Park over the weekend as the annual festival Savannah in the Round returned for its fifth year.

The arena was bursting at the seams as the crowds continued to grow the lower the sun was setting and were up on their feet until the late hours.

The fifth birthday for the festival was by far the biggest yet and saw camping and parking spots completely full.

Camping tickets were all sold out days prior to the event and on Saturday there wasn’t a parking spot to be found, leaving attendees to park outside or as the close to the venue as possible and walk.

Kicking off Savannah in the Round with engaging performances on Friday night was Lee Kernaghan, Tyler Hubbard and The Living End.

Hubbard was the highlight of the night, putting on a great performance and enjoying the atmosphere of the country festival.

The biggest day of the weekend was Saturday, with thousands of people from across the country coming to experience the remarkable acts of James Johnston and Kip Moore.

Johnston started off the night with a high energy performance and highly engaging crowd interactions and was highly regarded among festival-goers.

The crowd erupted into cheer as Moore ran on the stage with thousands of fans singing along to every word of his songs.

Sunday saw lively performances from Sheppard, Hindley Street Country Club and Jon Stevens.
