Beyond The Valley returns December 28–January 1 with John Summit, Black Eyed Peas, KI/KI, Skepta, Ocean Alley, Vince Staples and more.
Beyond The Valley has unveiled the lineup for its 11th edition, returning to Barunah Plains in Victoria, Australia, from December 28, 2026, through January 1, 2027.
After selling out in under an hour last year, the festival will begin its second decade with a lineup led by John Summit, Black Eyed Peas, KI/KI, and Skepta.
John Summit will headline the festival’s New Year’s Eve countdown into 2027. The DJ, producer, and label owner arrives following the release of his latest album, CTRL ESCAPE, and a headline performance at Tomorrowland 2026.
Black Eyed Peas will perform an exclusive Australian show at Beyond The Valley. The six-time Grammy-winning group has sold more than 35 million albums and 120 million singles worldwide, with hits including “Where Is the Love?,” “Boom Boom Pow,” and “I Gotta Feeling.”
Dutch DJ and producer KI/KI will return to Barunah Plains for a special three-hour set, blending 1990s rave influences with modern club music. British grime pioneer Skepta will also return to the festival for the first time since its 2019/20 edition.
The lineup also includes Ocean Alley, Overmono, Disco Lines, Nia Archives, Armand Van Helden, The Veronicas, Vince Staples, Frost Children, SPFDJ, Jayda G, salute, southstar, Odd Mob, Boys Noize, Hannah Laing, Ewan McVicar, Hamdi, Job Jobse, and many more.
Presented by Untitled Group and triple j, with support from the Victorian Government, Beyond The Valley has become one of Australia’s defining summer music traditions, drawing tens of thousands of attendees for four days of music, camping, and community.
“Festivals matter more than ever,” says Nicholas Greco, co-founder and managing partner of Untitled Group. “They give people a place to belong and a place to fall in love with music. It’s a privilege to play a part in that through BTV.”
Beyond the music, The Lounge Room will return with live podcasts, conversations, comedy, dating shows, and interactive programming. Featured events include Ross and Will Weightman’s Weightman’s Law, Cupid’s Court Live Dating Show, Kath Ebbs’ Cowboy C*untry line-dancing event, Bittersweet with Wintana Kidane, and In Pour Taste: Comedy Wine Tasting.
The festival’s three main stages—the Valley Stage, Dance Dome, and Dr Dan’s—will return, while The Woods will debut as a new hidden space for campers. Other experiences include The Palms Pool House, The Sanctuary, POOF DOOF’s Cirque Du Slay, Jack Daniel’s House Party, Red Bull Unforeseen, and Smirnoff Schmall Klub.
Accommodation options include general and premium camping, pre-pitched tents, Lux Camp packages, and off-site hotels with bus transportation. Tickets will be available in four-day, three-day, two-day, New Year’s Eve-only, and single-day formats.
The Daily Aus presale begins Tuesday, August 4, at 10 a.m. AEST. The official presale begins Thursday, August 6, at 6 p.m. AEST, followed by the general on-sale Friday, August 7, at noon AEST.
