Leading the 2026-27 line-up is global dance music powerhouse John Summit, who takes on the festival’s most coveted moment, the New Year’s Eve countdown. Alongside him are multi-platinum American superstars Black Eyed Peas, who will play an exclusive Australian show.

Fresh off the release of his latest album ‘CTRL ESCAPE’ and a headline set at Tomorrowland 2026, John Summit joins the Beyond The Valley line-up as one of dance music’s biggest global stars. The DJ, producer and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 US dance radio hits and landed eight Top 10 tracks on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. With three sold-out headline shows at LA’s Kia Forum and a headline debut at London’s O2 Arena, Summit sits among the most in-demand names in dance music. This New Year’s Eve, he’ll headline Beyond The Valley’s countdown into 2027, taking on one of Australia’s most iconic festival moments.
One of the best-selling groups of all time in the digital era, Black Eyed Peas make an Australian-exclusive appearance at Beyond The Valley. The six-time GRAMMY winners have amassed sales of over 35 million albums and more than 120 million singles sold worldwide; their landmark albums ‘Elephunk’ and ‘The E.N.D.’ delivered era-defining anthems including ‘Where Is The Love?,’ ‘Boom Boom Pow’ and ‘I Gotta Feeling.’
KI/KI has emerged as one of electronic music’s most exciting and influential voices. The Dutch DJ and producer has reshaped the global rave landscape on her own terms, selling out 20,000-capacity shows, gracing the cover of DJ Mag, and becoming a Spotify Global EQUAL Ambassador. In 2025, she made history as the first woman to win the Dance category at the Netherlands’ Edison Pop Awards. Her recent collaboration with electronic legends Underworld, ‘Arp12,’ marked a landmark moment, following singles ‘Going Existential In The Rave’ and ‘Here With Me.’ KI/KI returns to Barunah Plains for an iconic three-hour set, bringing her blend of 90s touchstones and modern club energy.
Skepta returns to Beyond The Valley for the first time since the 2019-20 edition. The Tottenham-born grime MC, rapper, producer and fashion director helped define a generation of UK rap and remains among its most celebrated figures. In 2025, he delivered a standout Glastonbury set after stepping in at short notice and has joined forces with Fred again.. on singles ‘Victory Lap’ and ‘Back 2 Back.’ Known for era-defining tracks including ‘Shutdown’ and ‘That’s Not Me,’ Skepta brings his pioneering sound back to Barunah Plains.
