We’re back with a bang and we’re here to make October and the run-up to the end of the year unforgettable.
Speaking of, it’s less than three months away from the new year, so it’s about time we started thinking about our New Year’s Eve plans. From that fancy nightclub to that party your friend of a friend of a friend is throwing, to those annual family get-togethers, we know you’re slammed with a ton of tempting options. But what if we told you there’s an event that transcends the ordinary, an experience that promises to be the highlight of your year-end celebrations?
Cast your eyes to our cover for this issue, featuring the epic Beyond The Valley festival, returning to the picturesque Barunah Plains. Starting as a boutique music festival back in 2014, BTV has cemented itself as a heavyweight in the NYE camping festival scene. Complete with a Ferris wheel, an inflatable wedding chapel, Poof Doof Pride Patrol’s fabulous drag performances, and swimming pools, this festival is the ultimate fusion of music, art, and celebration, promising an electrifying experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for years to come. And the lineup? Oh, it’s a doozy! From RÜFÜS DU SOL to Central Cee, and Peggy Gou, and a slew of other incredible acts, this year’s festival is going to be a sensation.
Further inside, we’ve got exclusive chats with Trophy Eyes, Dan Sultan, The Waifs, and the fabulous regional drag sensation Gabriella Labucci. And as usual, we’ve got your back with all the latest foodie news, album reviews, stage guides, art exhibition highlights, and a roundup of the region’s hottest gigs.
Hungry? Dive into features on a spanking new restaurant by the culinary maestro Adrian Richardson, a buzzing summer café that’ll tickle your taste buds, and so much more!
So, what’s the wait? Let’s get this show on the road.
