Beyond The Valley, Australia’s largest multi-day music festival, has officially revealed the lineup for its highly anticipated 11th edition, returning to Barunah Plains from December 28, 2026, through January 1, 2027.
After selling out in under an hour last year, the festival enters its second decade with one of its biggest lineups to date, bringing together global electronic music stars, hip-hop icons, live bands, and emerging talent for four days of music, art, and community. Presented by Untitled Group and triple j, with support from the Victorian Government, Beyond The Valley continues to cement its place as one of Australia’s premier New Year’s festivals.
Headlining the 2026/27 edition is global dance music superstar John Summit, who will take over the festival’s iconic New Year’s Eve countdown set. Fresh off the release of his latest album, CTRL ESCAPE, and a headline performance at Tomorrowland 2026, Summit arrives after another career-defining year that has included sold-out arena shows, his debut residency at UNVRS Ibiza, and continued chart dominance with more than one billion global streams.
Joining him for an Australian-exclusive performance are multi-platinum legends Black Eyed Peas, returning with a catalog that has defined pop and dance music for more than two decades. With over 35 million albums and 120 million singles sold worldwide, the six-time GRAMMY winners will bring timeless hits including “I Gotta Feeling,” “Boom Boom Pow,” and “Where Is The Love?” to Barunah Plains.
Also among the festival’s top-billed acts is Dutch rave phenomenon KI/KI, who continues to redefine contemporary club culture. Following a landmark year that included becoming the first woman to win the Dance category at the Edison Pop Awards, selling out 20,000-capacity events, and collaborating with Underworld, KI/KI will return to Beyond The Valley for an extended three-hour performance celebrating her signature blend of trance, techno, and rave nostalgia.
British grime pioneer Skepta also returns to the festival for the first time since the 2019/20 edition. The influential rapper and producer recently delivered a standout performance at Glastonbury and continued his creative partnership with Fred again.., further reinforcing his position as one of the UK’s most respected artists.

“Festivals matter more than ever. They give people a place to belong, and a place to fall in love with music—and it’s a privilege to play a part in that through BTV. We’re so excited to be delivering such an incredible lineup to our BTV community, and to bring in the new year with you all again.”
Minister for Tourism Natalie Suleyman also highlighted the event’s broader economic impact, noting that the festival continues to drive tourism throughout the Greater Geelong and Bellarine regions while supporting local businesses and accommodation providers.
Festivalgoers can choose from a range of ticket options, including four-day, three-day, two-day, New Year’s Eve-only, and single-day passes, alongside General and Premium Camping, Lux Camp accommodations, pre-pitched tents, and hotel packages with shuttle transportation. Flexible payment plans will also be available through Afterpay, Zip Pay, and Laybuy.
With another sold-out edition expected, Beyond The Valley 2026/27 is shaping up to deliver one of Australia’s biggest celebrations of music and culture. Combining a world-class lineup with expanded experiences, immersive camping, and a vibrant community atmosphere, the festival looks set to usher in 2027 in spectacular fashion.
