Beyond the Valley’s Partnership With Humanitix Generates $250K for Charity

Punters who attended the 2022 edition of Beyond the Valley kicked-in $250,000 for good causes, many of them without even realising it.

Held at its new home in Barunah Plains, a picturesque spot 90 minutes’ from Melbourne, Untitled Group’s popular fest bookended New Year’s Eve, with a bill headlined by Bicep, Denzel Curry, Dom Dolla, Diplo, and featuring a headline-grabbing comeback performance by Nelly Furtado.

More than 30,000 people walked through the gates for this year’s eighth edition, which, for the first time, partnered with registered charity Humanitix as its official ticketing platform.

As reported in The Music Network, so far, a quarter-million dollars has been directly attributed to the contribution from the four-day fest’s booking fees.

The majority of that sum goes towards Yalari, an organisation which provides Indigenous children from regional, rural and remote communities across the country the opportunity to receive a full boarding school scholarship for their entire secondary education.

Through not-for-profit Humanitix’s booking fees, education projects are funded for the world’s most disadvantaged children to close the global education gap.

Operating in the U.S., U.K., Canada and on both sides of the Tasman, Humanitix’s model has raised upwards of $2.5 million.

With the partnership deemed a success, Untitled Group will use the platform for some of its other festival assets including the four-day festival Pitch Music & Arts and Sun Cycle NYD.

“Untitled Group and Beyond the Valley are proud to be partnering with this organisation and to be contributing to this important cause,”
