About Beyond The Valley 2026

Beyond The Valley runs at Lardner Park in Gippsland from December 28 into New Year's Day, presented by Untitled Group with triple j. Eighty-two music acts are billed, and unusually for a festival this far out, every one of them already has a day and a stage.

Three music stages divide the weekend by temperament. The Valley Stage carries the live bookings and the largest names, Dance Dome is the main dance room and the busiest stage on site with thirty-seven acts, and Dr Dan's is the smaller, later, more local room. A fourth space, The Lounge Room, programmes podcasts, talks and comedy rather than music, so its fourteen entries are not listed here.

New Year's Eve is the heaviest day on paper, with twenty-four acts across the three stages, and the bill thins gently backwards to thirteen on the opening night.

Expect dance, house, techno and hip-hop across 82 acts.
