To usher in the new era of Beyond The Valley, global pop icon Nelly Furtado will be performing an Australian exclusive one-off performance at the festival, for her first show in over five years. The Grammy Award winner behind some of the biggest pop songs of the 00’s including ‘Promiscuous’, ‘Say It Right’ ‘Maneater’ and ‘I’m Like A Bird’ has recently made global headlines joining Drake on stage as a surprise guest at his OVO Fest, as well as going viral on TikTok for an edit of Say It Right x Bicep – Glue.

NYE music festival Beyond The Valley confirms new home in Geelong region, Barunah Plains

Main stage artists will be performing in the 100,000sqm natural amphitheatre, made for live music experiences. The iconic Dance Tent will also make its return, featuring a 70-metre wide LED wall and renowned Funktion-One soundsystem. Dr Dan’s stage, the much-loved multilevel dancefloor colosseum, will reveal a new reimagined design for the 2022 festival.

Patrons can also step away from the music and go for a swim in the pools at the Beach Club, or uncover Schmall Klüb, a concealed party with spontaneous sets from your favourite DJs only accessible through a concealed secret entrance, via a portaloo door.

With this also comes the news of the introduction of a daily entry ticket, so punters have the option to stay at accommodation in the local areas (Geelong, Inverleigh, Teesdale etc) or go home each night. For the first time there will also be viewing platforms and Auslan interpreters at the Main Stage, and a designated accessible campsite positioned close to the festival arena.

Other features confirmed by the festival today include interactive art installations, the Poof Doof ‘Pride Patrol’, Speed Dating, Open Mic, Fortune Teller, Doof Stick Making, Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and more.

They’ve increased their offering this year with an Ultra Deluxe option which includes a chauffeur, butler, daily ice delivery, an airconditioned emperor tent with a raised mattress, and more.

Beyond The Valley’s commitment to social impact will increase this year with its move to its new home, committing to social and sustainable partnerships through financial contributions as well as local community initiatives. As part of Beyond The Valley’s ongoing partnership with AIME, $1 for every ticket sold will be donated to the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience to support their programs. BTV will also be using registered charity Humanitix as their ticketing platform for the very first time.

This forthcoming edition will be the first camping festival since 2019, with the team last year pivoting to a two-day inner-city event at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, to accommodate for covid restrictions, and unsurprisingly, it was a roaring success.

Beyond The Valley’s meticulous attention to production, arts, decor and theming to compliment their world-class lineups has gained it much popularity and praise. Over the last seven years it has grown to be one of Australia’s largest music & camping events and a New Year’s ritual for many.

Beyond The Valley will take over Barunah Plains, Wentworth Road, Hesse from 28th December 2022 – 1st January 2023.

Pre-sale registrations are open now here, and close Wednesday 31st August 3pm. Presale tickets go on sale Wednesday 31st August 6pm AEST with General public tickets on sale on Thursday 1st September 12pm AEST.
