Beyond the Valley (commonly known as BTV) is an Australian multi-day music festival that has been held annually since 2014. Currently it is held at Barunah Plains Homestead in Hesse, Victoria, Australia over the New Year's Eve period. It has previously taken place at Phillip Island Circuit, Phillip Island, Lardner Park, Warragul, and in Melbourne city.

History

The festival was first held in 2014 on Phillip Island, just south of Melbourne. From 2015 through 2019 it was held at Lardner Park, Warragul, east of Melbourne. In 2020 the festival was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 the festival was held at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne city, then in 2022 moved to Barunah Plains Homestead, about 1.5 hours drive west of Melbourne, where it has been held annually since. The Barunah Plains site encompasses a 100,000 square metre natural amphitheatre, from which the festival can be staged.

Attire

Many people who attend BTV are referred to as the 'Naarmy Army', with attendees dressing in 'Naarmcore' style clothes. Naarmcore is a fashion trend that combines the Aboriginal name for Melbourne, Naarm, with the "normcore" style. It became popular on TikTok and is characterized by clothing like puffer jackets, cargo pants, hiking boots, and beanies.

Popular clothing items worn at BTV include scarves, bleached hats, jorts, baggy shirts, and carabiners around one's pants.

Controversies

Festivalgoers in the 2022-23 edition of BTV were forced to wait upwards of eight hours in their cars in 37-degree heat, as the festival's traffic management plan came under scrutiny.
