Beyond The Valley reveals its 2026 lineup for five days at Barunah Plains from 28 December through 1 January. John Summit and The Black Eyed Peas lead a broad programme that also features Skepta, Vince Staples, Armand Van Helden, KI/KI, Hamdi, Nia Archives and Frost Children. Australian representation includes Ocean Alley, The Veronicas, The Jungle Giants, Odd Mob, Rum Jungle, Playlunch and a substantial group of emerging artists.
The festival continues balancing electronic music, indie rock, hip-hop and pop rather than forcing every stage to maintain one strict personality. New Year festivals operate as temporary cities with their own transport problems, sleep economy and citizens who suddenly believe glitter is a practical clothing material. Beyond The Valley's lineup suggests the final days of 2026 will be loud, varied and unlikely to involve an early night.
