Beyond The Valley is a four day celebration of music, arts & camping, held annually on December 28 to January 1.
What began as a bold vision has evolved into a New Year tradition, shaping culture through connection while growing to be one of the country’s most iconic festival experiences. Originally held in Phillip Island in 2014 BTV moved to Lardner Park in 2015 where it remained until finding its forever home at Barunah Plains in 2022.
Situated just 90 minutes from Melbourne (Naarm), the picturesque lands of the Wadawurrung & Eastern Maar Peoples, will transform into a technicolour playground for four unmissable days and nights.
BTV’s 10th birthday bash will feature a genre-rich lineup complete with global icons, rising tastemakers & underground innovators. The Valley Stage, Dance Dome, and Dr Dan’s will come alive with the sounds of the summer, spanning the timeless to the trailblazing.
Beyond the music, bespoke experiences, surprises & hidden delights await around every corner. Stop by Main Street and sink into the comfort of The Lounge Room; a brand-new space where you can enjoy live podcast recordings, talks, film screenings, and more. Recharge and re-centre at The Sanctuary by QV Ceramides, our oasis of festival wellness.
Expect the return of dazzling drag shows and circus spectacles from our friends at POOF DOOF, or discover your next favourite artist at one of our iconic, genre-bending discovery stages: Smirnoff Schmall Klub, Jack Daniel’s House Party, and Red Bull Unforeseen. Sun-drenched days melt into euphoric nights, creating space for joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.
