As this year’s Good Things Festival approaches, so does the time for planning: the sideshows are here, so your December is about to fill up.
Headlining act Korn were already announced to host a one-off sideshow in Adelaide (which is already sold out), but last night (27 October), Good Things Festival organisers revealed the stacked list of sideshows, with 34 shows across 14 different events.
The highlights of the 2024 Good Things sideshows include Sum 41 with special guest grandson, Violent Femmes with a one-off show at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, Billy Corgan with The Delta Riggs, Mastodon with special guest Kerry King, Bowling For Soup with special guest Taylor Acorn, Destroy Boys teaming up with Alex Lahey for a co-headline string of shows, 311 with their first Aussie shows since 1998, Frank Turner And The Sleeping Souls in intimate venues, and more.
You can check out the list of sideshows below.
Tickets for the sideshows are expected to sell out fast. Fans can access Early Bird pre-sale tickets to any of the shows from Wednesday, 30 October, at 9 am local time – you can register for pre-sale tickets here. General tickets go on sale on Friday, 1 November, at 9 am local time via the Good Things Festival website.
And if you can’t make it to the sideshows and are thinking about a fun day out, tickets remain for the Good Things Festival dates in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane—but they are selling fast.
At the time of publication, Good Things Melbourne is 86% sold, Sydney is 81%, and Brisbane is at 87%. You can grab your tickets here.
