Beyond the Valley festival announces huge line-up as scores of other music festivals are cancelled

As scores of other music festivals across the country pull the plug, Australia's largest music and camping festival is returning in 2024 with a bang.

Beyond the Valley, one of the last bastions of the music festival scene Down Under, released its 2024 line-up for eager fans awaiting to buy tickets.

The four-day festival takes place annually at Barunah Plains Homestead in Hesse, Victoria on New Year's Eve.

The festival's headline acts include Grammy-nominated Australian artist FISHER, US rapper Ice Spice, who famously collaborated with Taylor Swift, and British electronic duo Chase & Status.

Also on the bill are the Sugababes, Natasha Bedingfield, Denis Sulta and even Australian basketballer-cum-DJ Liz Cambage.

Last year's Beyond the Valley sold out and the pre-sale for the 2024 festival will kick off on August 28 at 6pm.

The event was due to travel to Canberra, the Gold Coast, Perth and Ballarat in Victoria across four dates in November and December.
