When festivals in the past used to be all about the music, lately it’s so much more about the overall experience. A festival should be somewhere you want to spend the day, regardless of whether your favourite band is playing or not. Beyond the Valley is one such festival that offers up the whole package, from quality food offerings, to luxurious sleeping options and plenty of entertainment in between. Front row isn’t where it’s all at. Here’s just a taster of what’s on offer at the boutique festival.
Luxury Camping Options
Sometimes camping at festivals can be a traumatic experience, especially for those who don’t have a knack for camping but still want the convenience of being at the site that a hotel normally can’t offer. That’s where BTV’s luxury camping options come in. With a variety of different teepee options, featuring deluxe linen, padlocks, a comfortable mattress and more, it makes for a pleasant stay no matter what the weather is. There’s nothing worse than staying at a hotel outside of the site and missing your favourite band as you’re stuck in traffic. Don’t be that person who missed out.
Mick’s Place
We don’t know about you, but donuts are one of our biggest loves at the moment. So having the chance to listen to San Cisco, the Kite String Tangle and Miami Horror while eating a Nutella donut seems like bliss to us.
Franklin’s Classic American
When was the last time you had a good hot dog and fries? Strike that. When was the last time you had a good hot dog and fries at a festival? It’s a hard thing to master but Franklin’s Classic American have more than done it, and proven so as they’ve toured around at events like Moomba, Laneway Festival and St Kilda Festival.
Inflatable World
Further proof that BTV have thought of everything to keep you fuelled, entertained and well-groomed at the festival, the team have created ‘Inflatable World’. A space for friends, and soon-to-be friends, to seek delight in other embarrassment and failure – much like TV show Wipeout. There’s also zorb balls to keep you entertained (think bubble soccer from the Bachelor and you’re on the money).
Notable mentions in the foodie offerings are… Twisto Potatoes, Mary Jane Burgers, Baby Burger, Vodka Slushies and more.
If you need some music to tip you over, playing over the weekend will be; Flight Facilities, Ivan Ooze, Jamie XX, The Kite String Tangle, Odd Mob, RL Grime and more. Beyond the Valley still have tickets and camping options available. To purchase tickets visit the website: beyondthevalley.com.au.
