After endless hours of speculation, the line-up for the 2026 edition of the Good Things Festival has arrived, and as expected, it’s one to write home about.

Leading the charge for this year’s festivities is none other than nu metal icons Limp Bizkit, who return for the first time since the 2023 edition of the festival, where they upped the ante by urging fans to Break Stuff not once, but twice per set.

Joining them on the top end of the bill are fellow Good Things veterans Simple Plan, who featured on the 2019 line-up, and were last here in 2025 as part of a national run of dates.

Canadian metal outfit Spiritbox will also make their Australian return, as will local metalcore icons Polaris, who have been spending the majority of the year overseas supporting some massive names.

The All-American Rejects also join the bill, having had to pull out at the eleventh hour in 2025 following a family emergency. They’re followed by punk pioneers Bad Religion as part of their ‘45 + 1 Anniversary’ celebrations; Canada’s Alexisonfire who will play Crisis in full; Swedish punks Millencollin who will offer a run-through of Pennybridge Pioneers; and US genre-defier Bilmuri.

Local legends Grinspoon are in attendance, as are frequent visitors Ministry who will use their appearance to say farewell, MxPx, Chad Gray (who plays the songs of Mudvayne and Hellyeah), P.O.D., SPEED, Slowly Slowly, The Devil Wears Prada, and Aussie rock veterans the Choirboys.

It’s not done yet though, because fans will also get a chance to rock out to local and international acts such as All Them Witches, The Black Queen, The Home Team, Headwreck, Voice Of Baceprot, and much, much more.

This year’s festival follows the standard Good Things route, launching at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Friday, December 4th, before visiting Sydney Showground and Brisbane Showgrounds over the coming two days. Once again, all dates are open to those aged 16 and over.

Tickets to the 2026 edition of Good Things go on sale from 10am AEST on Thursday, August 20th, with a pre-sale launching at 10am AEST on Tuesday, August 18th, with sign ups open now.

This year’s festival marks the seventh outing for Good Things, having first launched back in December 2018. Last year featured a massive line-up boasting the likes of Tool, Weezer, Garbage, Machine Head, All Time Low, and the final Australian shows of Swedish legends Refused.
