"We look forward to welcoming many of the artists who can’t make it this year to Savannah in the Round 2022, and while they’ll be sorely missed at the inaugural event, we’re delighted to have these new acts who are certain to help us deliver an event worthy of our passionate and dedicated audience.
"That audience has been patiently waiting for a festival this for over two years now, and the understanding and support they’ve shown us is very special and greatly appreciated."
