READY to ROCK!
TWO powerhouse acts from the United States will light up the stage at Savannah in the Round this October, taking the festival to new heights.
The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning country rock group, the Zac Brown Band, will lead the charge as the festival’s headline act, joined by Maryland-born country star Jackson Dean, whose debut single was added to the “Yellowstone” show soundtrack.
The Zac Brown Band is known for their world class live performances, has sold more than 30.5 million singles, 9.3 million albums, and amassed over 11.2 billion catalogue streams worldwide.
With a career spanning over a decade and a reputation as one of the most dynamic live performers in music, Zac Brown Band’s extensive accolades include three Grammy Awards, 16 #1 radio singles, and the record for the most consecutive sold-out shows at Fenway Park, making them a must-see act for festival-goers.
Joining them as a US headliner is Jackson Dean whose powerful voice and country-rock infusion has captivated audiences globally.
His debut single, “Don’t Come Lookin’,” reached number three on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, earned over 80 million streams and was added to the popular “Yellowstone” soundtrack.
Dean’s breakthrough earned him recognition at major festivals like Stagecoach and CMA Fest.
Signed to Big Machine Records, he released his critically-acclaimed debut album Greenbroke in 2022 and followed it with On the Back of My Dreams in 2024. With over 1.2 million monthly Spotify listeners, Dean has also earned multiple industry accolades, solidifying his place in country music.
Known for his emotionally charged performances and raw storytelling, Dean is quickly becoming one of country music’s most exciting talents.
Savannah in the Round festival director James Dein shared his excitement about the two US acts heading downunder.
“We are beyond thrilled to announce Zac Brown Band and Jackson Dean as our US headliners for Savannah in the Round 2025,” he said.
“Zac Brown Band’s legendary status and Jackson Dean’s meteoric rise in the country music scene are the perfect fit for our eclectic lineup.
“Together, they’ll create an unforgettable experience for festival-goers in the stunning Tropical North.
“We can’t wait for the Savannah tribe to welcome them to our stage!”
The addition of Zac Brown Band and Jackson Dean to the already diverse roster of artists, including both international and homegrown talent, promises to make this year’s festival one not to be missed.
The two US stars join a great lineup of performers including James Reyne, Kasey Chambers, Daryl Braithwaite, James Johnston, Casey Barnes and Baby Animals.
