The BTV lineup for 2026 has landed, with Black Eyed Peas headlining and John Summit taking the New Year's Eve countdown at Barunah Plains from 28 December.
The BTV lineup marks the festival’s 11th edition, presented by Untitled Group. Beyond The Valley returns to Barunah Plains after selling out in under an hour last year.
Summit runs the midnight slot into 2027 with a billion streams behind him and eight top 10s on Billboard’s dance chart. Black Eyed Peas play their only Australian show, the six-time Grammy winners behind Where Is The Love? and I Gotta Feeling, having shifted more than 35 million albums since forming in Los Angeles in 1995.
Dutch DJ KI/KI gets a three-hour set, and Skepta returns for the first time since the 2019/20 edition. Ocean Alley debut off number one album Love Balloon, The Veronicas are back after six years, and Nia Archives brings her live show to Australia for the first time. Vince Staples and Frost Children also land on the 31 December bill.

The electronic and homegrown acts on the BTV lineup
The electronic card runs deep, with Armand Van Helden, Overmono, Disco Lines, Hannah Laing, Ewan McVicar, Funk Tribu and SPFDJ across the site. They sit alongside Boys Noize, Anetha, Jayda G, Job Jobse, Hamdi, salute, southstar, Odd Mob and Dean Turnley.
Homegrown live sets come from The Jungle Giants, Playlunch, Rum Jungle and 2charm, with more from Layton Giordani, MPH, Club Angel, nimino, Rossi., Oppidan, Tommy Holohan, BIIANCO and Mella Dee. It’s the kind of spread that’s tracked past editions, where international headliners share a paddock with a rung of rising local names.
What’s new at Beyond The Valley this New Year’s
Three main stages return. The Valley Stage lands at its biggest in festival history, the Dance Dome comes back as a fixture, and Dr Dan’s stacks headliners next to unannounced sets. A new hidden area called The Woods arrives for campers to find, Bunnings returns bigger than before, and Salomon extends its Run Club with a new Base Camp.
The Lounge Room is back with live podcasts, chats and games, including Ross + Will Weightman’s Weightman’s Law and a line dancing night from Kath Ebbs, Cowboy C*untry. Elsewhere on site, POOF DOOF’s Cirque Du Slay, The Palms Pool House, The Sanctuary and the members-only Valley Club all return, alongside Jack Daniel’s House Party, Red Bull Unforeseen and Smirnoff Schmall Klub.
Since making Barunah Plains its home, the festival has grown from a small camping event into the country’s largest multi-day festival, drawing tens of thousands across four days each new year. For Melbourne and regional Victorian punters, it’s become the fixed point of the summer calendar, a drive southwest of the city rather than a flight interstate. The national sideshow run that follows the festival gives those who miss out a second shot at the headliners.
How to get Beyond The Valley tickets
Tickets come in four-day, three-day, two-day, NYE-only and single-day formats, with Ticket + Car Pass bundles and payment split across Afterpay, Zip Pay and Laybuy. Accommodation runs from General and Premium camping to Lux Camp packages, pre-pitched tents and off-site hotels with bus transport.
The Daily Aus presale opens 4 August at 10am AEST, the official presale follows 6 August at 6pm AEST, and general tickets go on sale 7 August at 12pm AEST. Beyond The Valley is supported by the Australian Government’s Revive Live and the Victorian Government’s Regional Event Fund, presented by Untitled Group and triple j.
The BTV lineup runs into 2027, closing out the year with a billion-stream headliner on the countdown and a paddock outside Geelong at capacity once again.
