Beyond the Valley Announces 2022 Lineup with Nelly Furtado, Kaytranada, Denzel Curry and More

August 25, 2022

Beyond the Valley organisers have revealed the lineup for the New Year’s Eve festival’s 2022/23 edition, which will take place at its new home, Barunah Plains in Hesse, Victoria, from Wednesday, 28th December to Sunday, 1st January. In an Australian exclusive, one of the lineup’s biggest names is pop superstar Nelly Furtado, making an exceedingly rare live appearance. Furtado joined Drake onstage last month; prior to that, she had not performed live since 2017.

Other drawcards include Canadian producer Kaytranada and Irish electronic duo Bicep, along with Denzel Curry, Diplo, Honey Dijon, BENEE, Patrick Topping, Yeat, Aitch and Yung Lean. The bill also features plenty of local talent, including Dom Dolla, Flight Facilities, Tkay Maidza, Vera Blue, Confidence Man, Lime Cordiale and San Cisco.

As reported earlier this year, BTV’s 2022/23 edition sees it revert back to a four-day camping format, and moves from its previous location of Lardner Park in Gippsland to Barunah Plains. Organisers describe the new location as a “picturesque oasis” 90 minutes west of Melbourne that boasts a 100,000 square metre natural amphitheatre.

Beyond the Valley 2022/23 is something of a comeback for the festival, which last ran in its regular format in 2019. In 2020, the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. Last year, it pivoted to a two-day inner city event at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl to accommodate COVID restrictions. “The prospect of facing a last minute cancellation is too crushing, potentially causing a blow we would not be able to come back from and shattering all of your New Year’s plans,” organisers explained at the time.

Tickets for Beyond the Valley 2022/23 will go on sale next Thursday, 1st September at 12pm AEST. There’s a pre-sale that will kick off Wednesday, 31st August at 6pm that you can register for here.
