Are you ready for the madcap chaos of Australia’s largest travelling music festival? Good Things season returns with a head-spinning lineup fit for a fever dream. Across three East Coast dates, this year’s 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 will deliver a trip down the rabbit hole with a stacked bill of international heavyweights, old favourites, hungry up-and-comers, and Aussie staples. And in a boon for younger attendees, Sydney’s Centennial Park festival date will be a 16+ event for the first time!
No one has cultivated a cult of personality quite like 𝗞𝗢𝗥𝗡. As the coveted headliners for 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, the Californian nu-metal pioneers will be celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of their landmark self-titled debut album and a career trajectory that speak volumes: two GRAMMY® Award wins, multi-platinum album certifications, and over 40 million records sold worldwide. Continually pushing the limits of the alternative, metal, and rock across their back catalogue, 𝗞𝗢𝗥𝗡’𝘀 unwavering sonic vision incorporates everything from dubstep and hip-hop to the bagpipe sections of frontman Jonathan Davis. Forever for the freaks, 𝗞𝗢𝗥𝗡’𝘀 Good Things appearance will find them in fine form and off the leash.
Seeing 𝗦𝗨𝗠 𝟰𝟭 will be a bittersweet occasion for dedicated Aussie fans, as the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 acts as the band’s last-ever ‘𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙪𝙢’ tour Down Under. Pulling from their formative album trinity—𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘕𝘰 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 (2001), 𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥? (2002), and 𝘊𝘩𝘶𝘤𝘬 (2004)—along with their recent 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯 :𝘹: 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭 double-LP, the Canadian rockers are determined to go out with a bang, one befitting their status as a beacon of millennial domination. Come for the high-energy pop punk, and stay for the heavy metal anthems.
Speaking of anthems, it’s hard to deny the impact 𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗘𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗦 have had on the broad history of alternative music. The Milwaukee outfit have been festival mainstays throughout their awe-inspiring 40-year career, and direct influences on Pink, John Cusack, Mark Morris, The Pixies, and more. German heavy arena sensation 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗕𝗢𝗬 known for their viral hits like 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘢 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘢, 𝘞𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘈𝘛𝘈𝘛𝘈 and their pulsing cover of Cascada’s 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘞𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 have proven that the group’s blend of retro pop synths, arena rock, and metalcore is both a recipe for chart-topping success and captivating audiences worldwide.
After bringing their own curated The World Is A Vampire Festival to Australia last year, and the recent release of the band’s thirteenth studio album, 𝘈𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪 𝘔𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪 𝘔𝘦𝘪, The Smashing Pumpkins frontman 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗡 will wow the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 crowd with a spirited set supported by The Delta Riggs as his backing band. Festival punters will be treated to tracks from 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗡’𝘀 expansive solo catalogue as well as songs he’s written for The Smashing Pumpkins. 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗢𝗡 have racked up numerous accolades that transcend their sludge metal origins. Alongside collaborations with 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, Adult Swim, and DC Comics, the Atlanta quartet finally took home a GRAMMY® Award after six career nods. 2021’s 𝘏𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 & 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘮 double-LP took meditations on grief and transformed them into moments of melodic mourning and raging bursts of energy. Guitarist/songwriter 𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 will bring a taste of his trademark fury to the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 for 2024. With 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚’𝘀 first solo LP outside of thrash titans Slayer, 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘦, unleashed on the world, expect a dose of blunt-force riffage and pointed lyrical themes with some Slayer classics thrown in as the kicker.
The long-awaited return of 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 to Australian shores has been almost a decade in the making. With the release of their highly anticipated comeback album, 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴, in October last year, it’s now Australia’s turn to be a part of the band’s rebirth. Newfound ARIA Hall of Famers 𝗝𝗘𝗧 will also get their shine on as they take to the stage to celebrate the recent twentieth anniversary of their multi-platinum debut album, 2003’s 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘯. Fans can expect to hear radio rock hits like 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘉𝘦 𝘔𝘺 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭, 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘑, and more. With their reputation as seasoned pros and one of the country’s most incredible live acts, punk rockers 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗡𝗗 will get the crowd pumping with iconic anthems like Second Solution and Prisoner of Society, making their only live shows for 2024 ones to remember. After playing their seminal Bricks Are Heavy LP on the road last year, 90s punk icons L7 return to give audiences another taste of Californian riot grrrl history including favourites like Pretend We’re Dead, Shitlist, Wargasm and more.
Sydney futurists 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗘 are global ambassadors for Australian metal, known for their exhilarating live show and unrivalled creative expression. With consecutive ARIA Award wins and #1 chart debuts already in the bag, the band’s latest 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘌𝘥𝘨𝘦 EP is their most daring effort yet. Fans will also see 𝗕𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗣 on their first trip Down Under in over fifteen years. The Texan pop punkers are fresh off a pair of 2024 Download Festival performances, and celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their fan-favourite 𝘈 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 LP. While 2024 already belongs to 𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗛𝗔 𝗪𝗢𝗟𝗙, their Good Things appearance is set to cap off the metalcore crew’s most successful year to date. The Melbourne quintet just wrapped up a completely sold-out Australian headline tour following the release of their acclaimed third full-length, 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.
For the alternative rockers, Orlando emo sensation 𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗦 are no strangers to devoted Australian crowds, and their 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 set will deliver on stratospheric hooks and huge sing-a-longs. Not to be outdone, Brisbane’s 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗟𝗬 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 will bring their emotionally charged performance to the festival stage, anchored by frontman Clint Boge's powerful croon. 90s flagbearers 𝟯𝟭𝟭 were last in the country in 1998 and have since maintained their standing as one of the genre’s most entertaining outfits with a groove-laden sound dipping into rap, reggae, and funk.
Award-winning songwriter, artist, and novelist 𝗔𝗩𝗶𝗩𝗔 will rally her “Outsider” community to the call with her idiosyncratic spin on pop-rock immediacy. Sacramento’s 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗬 𝗕𝗢𝗬𝗦 will be eager to unleash tracks from their brand new 𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 #4 LP and expand on their bratty punk origins. With a career spanning half a century, legacy rockers 𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗢𝗡 will showcase their heavy prog pedigree and penchant for soul-flavoured melodies. Meanwhile, DIY rock troubadour 𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗦 will mark another return to Australia as part of the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹, this time supporting his acclaimed new album, 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.
Pennsylvanian outfit 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗘𝗪 have climbed to the front of the rock vanguard, embracing the freedom of hybridity and experimenting with hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative sounds. Known for stretching genre descriptors into alluring new forms, alt artist 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗢𝗡 has netted over one billion streams and a dizzying list of high-profile collaborators including Mike Shinoda, Travis Barker, and Tom Morello. Backing up with another trip Down Under following 2023’s ‘The Midnight Demon Club’ tour, Cape Cod iconoclasts 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧 will bring their rule-breaking rock philosophy to the festival stage with cuts from their shiny new full-length, 𝘈𝘴 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘚𝘰 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸. Swedish heavy purveyors 𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 will introduce Aussie crowds to the uncompromising alt-metalcore vision of their bludgeoning fifth full-length,𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬—this is one set metalheads do not want to miss.
𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗗𝗜 will throw it back to the early 00s when their album debut 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 became a four-time ARIA winner and mega-smash single 𝘞𝘦𝘪𝘳 was an inescapable earworm, playing the record in full for the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 crowd. As one of Britain’s breakout heavy exports, 𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘 have built a reputation for their intense, multi-media live show, as seen on a recent North American tour run supporting Knocked Loose. Mixing metalcore with shades of electronica, pop, and post-hardcore on their stunning debut full-length, Secrets Of The Future, Sydney newcomers 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗤𝗔 will dazzle with their intricate take on progressive metal stylings. Influenced by early 90s and 00s pop-punk, 𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗡’𝘀 sound is imbued with youthful exuberance and relatability, tackling mental health struggles and head-on with catchy hooks and earnest vulnerability.
2024 also marks the return of the talented 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝟲𝟲𝟲 Artists and their carnivalesque Freak Show lounge. Witness the knife-throwing, gravity defying stunts of host Captain Ruin, or be amazed by Princess Tweedle Needle’s daring feats of bodily transgression as the “princess of pain” performs the ‘human pincushion’ act, skewering her flesh with glee, swinging a beer keg with her lady bits. Direct from the underground nightclubs of Berlin, you don’t want to miss out on 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝟲𝟲𝟲’𝘀 guest star!
