‘Beyond the Valley’ went over and beyond this year to ensure that patrons had one of the most enjoyable experiences in a Victorian festival ever. Supplying a large range of food vans, some amazing relaxation places, and plenty of store’s supplying to everyone’s needs, where good times are impossible not to have.

Just before midday on my favourite day of the year (Laneway day), I find myself in an Uber to Flemington Racecourse. It’s my first Laneway in Melbourne, though I haven’t missed the festival since 2018. Depending on who you ask, I was too early for anyone worth seeing, such as headliners Dominic Fike or Stormzy. But, as I prepared for my fifth Laneway, I knew I was in for a marathon day of the best up-and-coming local acts sharing the stage with some of the world’s finest talent.
