Good Things Festival returns this December, and now we finally know when the highly anticipated line-up will drop: next Thursday (22 August) at 10 am AEST.

Plugging the American punk rock band Destroy Boys in a teaser trailer posted to social media yesterday (11 August), organisers confirmed the line-up date, dates and venues and advised punters to sign up for the Good Things Festival website to hear news of the line-up as soon as it arrives.

In 2024, Good Things Festival will be returning to its usual haunts over one weekend in December: Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne (Friday, 6 December), Centennial Park in Sydney (Saturday, 7 December), and the Showgrounds in Brisbane (Sunday, 8 December).

Stay tuned for the line-up drop next week, and sign up for the Good Things Festival mailing list here.

In other Good Things news, organisers kickstarted a petition for under-18 punters to vote to attend Good Things Festival in Sydney. In Melbourne and Brisbane, the festival is a licenced 15+ event.

Good Things Festival also recently ran a competition to guess the announcement date for the line-up and win a pair of tickets, with one winner per city to be drawn. Entries to the competition closed at 5 pm yesterday, with winners to be announced soon.

Back in June, it was confirmed that Good Things Festival would return this year, dropping the dates for this year’s event. 

Last year’s festival was headlined by pop-punk legends Fall Out Boy, nu-metal outfit Limp Bizkit, and curveball with legendary ‘80s group Devo. Other acts on the line-up included Corey Taylor (vocalist of Slipknot), I Prevail, Bullet For My Valentine, Spiderbait, Enter Shikari, Slowly Slowly, Sepultura, Taking Back Sunday, PVRIS, Boom Crash Opera, Jebediah, Eskimo Joe, Make Them Suffer, and more.

Reviewing the Brisbane edition of Good Things 2022, The Music’s Tim Price and Jess Wall wrote: “All in all, Good Things Festival has planted the flag back in the ground for larger-scale, international-artist-led festivals again. Morale was high, fashion was incredible, the sounds a joy to hear in the open air once again, and LONG LIVE LIVE MUSIC!”
