Dance music lovers of Vic, we’ve got good news. After announcing its big 10th birthday return earlier this month, Victoria’s beloved multi-day festival, Beyond The Valley (BTV), has just dropped the line-up for its 2025-2026 edition. With international icons including Addison Rae, Ben Böhmer and Kettama on the line-up, we can officially confirm that BTV is bringing big main character energy to the stunning Barunah Plains from Sunday, December 28, until Monday, January 1, 2026.
Since its first event in 2014, BTV has established itself as one of Australia’s favourite festivals, with big names such as Tyler, The Creator, Peggy Gou, Nelly Furtado and Kaytranada all claiming the title of BTV alum. Before revealing the line-up, Untitled Group co-founder and managing partner Filippo Palermo promised that this year’s event will be “the biggest and most innovative BTV production to date”.
Wondering what’s in store this year? The just-dropped line-up for this year’s event includes Addison Rae, Dom Dolla, Kid Cudi and Turnstile as headline acts – Kid Cudi’s first show Down Under for more than a decade . Joining them in the valley this NYE is The Temper Trap, Chris Stussy, Ben Böhmer, Miss Kannina, Bella Claxton, Spacey Jane and so many more – with the full line-up available to view here.
In true big-birthday fashion, BTV is turning it on with a revitalised festival program featuring three main stages, a multi-format space presenting everything from live podcast recordings to magical cinema sessions, and an all-new wellness area complete with saunas, cold plunges, massage therapists and more.
Other features of this year’s four-day fest include upgraded camping options (ranging from pre-pitched tents to Lux Camp packages with access to the exclusive, resort-style Valley Club), Poof Doof’s beloved Cirque Du Slay and The Palms Pool House, a reinvented version of the former Beach Club offering a lush, laid-back space to refresh and reset.
Though the full fest lasts for four days, you can choose to opt for three-day, two-day or NYE-only options if you’re short on funds (and/or stamina).
