Beyond The Valley is set to bring some of the biggest names from their New Year's festival lineup to audiences across Australia and New Zealand, with a series of summer sideshows announced for January.
This extension of the festival experience will allow fans another chance to see artists like Billie Marten, Fish56Octagon, Ghetts, Marlon Hoffstadt, and Sugababes perform live.
With Beyond The Valley’s ninth edition nearly sold out—over 85% of tickets are already gone—the sideshows offer an alternative for those who can’t make it to the main event at Barunah Plains from December 28 to January 1. Here’s a closer look at what fans can expect from the individual acts:
