Beyond The Valley has unveiled its 2026 lineup, with John Summit, Black Eyed Peas, Skepta, KI/KI, Ocean Alley and Overmono leading four days of music at Barunah Plains, Victoria, as the festival returns from 28 December 2026 to 1 January 2027.
Now entering its 11th edition, BTV continues to balance major international headliners with one of Australia’s strongest electronic music programmes.
Across the Valley Stage, Dance Dome and Dr Dan’s, the lineup spans house, techno, UK garage, jungle, trance, hip-hop, indie and pop, while organisers have also confirmed an expanded Valley Stage, new festival experiences and ticket sale dates.
Lineup highlights
John Summit takes one of the festival’s most anticipated slots, leading the New Year’s Eve countdown after another huge year on the global festival circuit. He’s joined by Black Eyed Peas, who will perform their only Australian show, bringing one of the biggest crossover acts in dance-pop history to Barunah Plains.
Beyond the headline names, though, the lineup’s depth is arguably the bigger story.
Dutch DJ KI/KI opens the festival with a special three-hour set, bringing her high-energy blend of trance, techno and rave to the opening day.
UK duo Overmono bring their acclaimed live show after several landmark years that have established them as one of electronic music’s most respected acts, while grime pioneer Skepta returns to Beyond The Valley for the first time since the 2019/20 edition.
Elsewhere, the lineup brings together several generations of club music. House veteran Armand Van Helden sits alongside modern favourites including Disco Lines, Odd Mob, Ewan McVicar, Layton Giordani, salute, Job Jobse and Jayda G, while SPFDJ, Anetha, Hannah Laing and Funk Tribu continue the festival’s growing commitment to faster techno and rave sounds.
UK club music is particularly well represented this year. Nia Archives continues to push jungle to new audiences, while Oppidan, MPH and Soul Mass Transit System fly the flag for the current wave of UK garage. Dubstep producer Hamdi, electro pioneer Boys Noize and minimal house favourite Rossi. add even more variety across the four-day programme.
