BEYOND THEVALLEY
The Victorian countryside's big electro-pop New Year's bash, out at Barunah Plains: four days of camping to ring in the new year, from 28 December 2026 to 1 January 2027.
Beyond the Valley 2026
The Beyond the Valley festival.
In a nutshell.
Beyond the Valley takes place every New Year's in the countryside at Barunah Plains, in the state of Victoria, an hour's drive from Melbourne. The festival blends electronic and pop music across several stages, with on-site camping that's an integral part of the experience — the classic Australian way to see in the New Year at a festival. The upcoming edition runs from 28 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, with John Summit headlining New Year's Eve.
The festival has established itself as one of Australia's most popular New Year's events, with a lineup blending big international headliners (John Summit, Black Eyed Peas, Skepta) and the local Australian scene (Ocean Alley, The Veronicas).
On-site camping, right in the Victorian countryside, means you can spend all four days without leaving the grounds — far from the city, in a typically Australian end-of-year summer atmosphere.
