Beyond The Valley 2026/27: four days under canvas into New Year at Barunah Plains
In the Australian state of Victoria, plenty of revellers prefer to switch calendars from a tent. Run by Untitled Group alongside radio station triple j, Beyond The Valley bills itself as the country's best-loved camping festival and is now entering its second decade. The story began on Phillip Island in 2014, moved to Lardner Park from 2015, then settled in 2022 at Barunah Plains: a still-working farm near Hesse, 126 km west of Melbourne, on Wadawurrung and Eastern Maar land.
The bill reads like a countdown. On Monday 28 December, KI/KI, Jayda G, Biianco and Arielle Free get things moving. Tuesday 29 pairs Skepta with the house of Armand van Helden, the jungle of Nia Archives, Job Jobse and Ewan McVicar. On Wednesday 30, the rock of Ocean Alley sits next to Overmono then Boys Noize and Funk Tribu on the techno side, with Anetha and Hannah Laing. Thursday 31 has John Summit steering house on New Year's Eve, surrounded by the Black Eyed Peas, Vince Staples, The Veronicas and The Jungle Giants. Valley Stage, Dance Dome and Dr Dan's share the sets, while Main Street and Downtown add markets, drag, circus acts and house parties.
Tickets are gone: from 224 Australian dollars for 29 December alone up to 519 for all four days, plus fees, covering the arena only; camping is booked on top. Day-pass holders enter from noon to 8 pm, with no re-entry. Official buses run from Carlton Gardens and from Geelong station, and hotel packages focus on Geelong and Ballarat. On site: adults only with ID, card payments, bars with and without alcohol, a Food Village, medical and Crowd Care teams day and night, plus an accessible campground with power.
Beyond The Valley runs from 28 to 31 December 2026, with departure on 1 January 2027. See also festivals in Australia.
