For the first time in Good Things Festival history, the travelling alternative event has confirmed that it’s secured the exclusive rights to the top three acts on this year’s line-up.

That means headliners Limp Bizkit, as well as second-billed artists Simple Plan and Spiritbox, won’t be performing any sideshows. The festival also hinted at more “exclusive-to-the-festival” announcements, which will be coming soon.

Good Things Festival confirmed the news on social media today (10 September), captioning their post:
