Chance The Rapper, ZHU, Montaigne & More Named On Massive Beyond The Valley First Line-Up

It was announced this past June that Victoria New Years festival Beyond The Valley has expanded to four days and they're gonna need it because the first batch of acts for the 2016 event has just dropped and it is HUGE.

The first announcement is led by international acts, US hip hop artist Chance The Rapper, (who will also partake in WA's Origin Fest) and electro producer ZHU.

The two massive acts are joined by many more big names including Montaigne, Ladyhawke, What So Not, Sticky Fingers, Alex Lahey, Hot Chip (DJ set) and Jarryd James, just to name a few.
