Australia’s biggest travelling alternative festival, Good Things Festival, returns in December with a line-up headlined by Limp Bizkit. And if the big day, hitting Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, wasn’t exciting enough for punters, today the sideshows have been announced.
Bands including The All-American Rejects, Ministry, P.O.D., The Devil Wears Prada, All Them Witches, Millencolin, House of Protection, and many others are set to perform at Good Things’ sideshows, as revealed today.
The Good Things Festival team also confirmed that, along with the top three acts on the bill – Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan, and Spiritbox – additional bands performing exclusively at Good Things include Bad Religion, Alexisonfire, Bilmuri (playing two sideshows in New Zealand), Chad Gray, MxPx, Neck Deep, and Voice of Baceprot.
Check out the stacked list of sideshows – the artists, dates and venues – below.
