Beyond The Valley Is Bringing Back Its Famed NYE Camping Festival to See Out 2022
Mark your diaries: you'll be able to see out the year dancing to live tunes at this beloved four-day music fest.
The end of 2022 is still just under eight months away, but it'll arrive with a nice dose of normality: the return of beloved camping music festival Beyond The Valley. After hosting a city-based spinoff in to see out 2021 instead — aka Beyond The City — due to COVID-19 restrictions, the fest has confirmed that it'll be back in its original guise this year. Melburnians, that's your New Year's Eve plans sorted, obviously.
The dates to mark in your diary: December 28, 2022–January 1, 2023. If you're wondering what else is in store, though, you'll have to think back to past fest for now. It's too early for a lineup as yet — or even to lock in when a lineup will drop, or anything else — but you still have something to look forward to this summer.
Typically, Beyond The Valley takes place in the regional Victorian town of Lardner, although a venue hasn't been confirmed for 2022 yet either.
Event organisers Untitled Group did drop a video to announce the return as a four-day camping fest, however, and it's set to the sounds of 'Glue' by Bicep — which may or may not be a clue.
Since it kicked off in 2014, past iterations of Beyond The Valley have featured impressive lineups — think: RÜFÜS DU SOL, Tyler The Creator, The Kooks, Joey Badass, Bonobo, Jamie XX, Chance The Rapper, SchoolboyQ, Honey Dijon, Kaytranada, Stormzy and Mura Masa, among others, over the years. So, whoever's on the 2022 bill will be following in some mighty impressive footsteps.
Beyond The Valley is set to return from December 28, 2022–January 1, 2023. We'll update you when the lineup is announced — and you can subscribe to the fest's website in the interim.
