Finally, a bit of good news on the national event scene: Australia is actually getting a brand new festival – the impending Beyond The Valley New Year's Eve party on Phillip Island.
Although line-up details are yet to be announced, what we can tell you is that Beyond The Valley will be a two-stage extravaganza focused on production, décor and quality theming in order to create a “cohesive spread” of disparate yet complementary musical genres and styles.
Taking place over two days, December 30 and 31, at the Phillip Island Circuit, Beyond The Valley is taking extra measures to ensure patrons are comfortable and safe while adhering to the festival's vision of environmentally sustainable operation. High-quality consumables are being promised, with “a diverse range of gourmet food options” as well as boutique beer and cocktail bars peddling delicious wares from a multitude of cultures being made available for attendees.
As a two-dayer, Beyond The Valley comes with a camping dimension (and VIP packages) that likewise promises rolling hills and lush scenery, along with a pop-up luxury hotel featuring its own concierge and A-grade amenities, as well as a daily hangover spa. In other words, the festival is aiming to be one giant, luxe party.
The full line-up announcement is due next month, but in the interim you can start acquainting yourself with the ethos of the fledgling festival by signing up to its social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
