Those who love some heavy metal, nu-metal, punk, rock, alternative music and everything in between are about to have a thrilling December, with Good Things returning with a self-proclaimed “bonkers” line-up.
Headlined by Korn, making their way to Australia after six long years, and Sum 41 on the second line – as part of the band’s last-ever Tour Of The Setting Sum tour in Australia – this year’s travelling rock festival is already banging.
Also on the line-up is Violent Femmes, returning to Australia after seven years; German heavy music sensation Electric Callboy bringing the Hypa Hypa; Billy Corgan teaming up with The Delta Riggs for performances of solo and Smashing Pumpkins hits; the return of the formidable Mastodon; the teased appearance of Kerry King confirmed; and more.
Further on the bill, you’ll find Aussies, including The Living End, Jet, Northlane, The Butterfly Effect, and this year’s hottest metal band, Alpha Wolf, sharing stages alongside Bowling For Soup (their first Australian shows in over 15 years), The Gaslight Anthem (returning to Australia after almost a decade), L7, Sleeping With Sirens, and 311 (first Australian dates since 1998).
Good Things Festival has also locked in Australian award-winning songwriter AViVA, American punk rockers Destroy Boys (who were teased in a Good Things video this month), the legendary Dragon, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Killing Heidi playing Reflector in its entirety, British metallers Loathe, Sydney up-and-coming metal group Reliqa, and more.

A Word from the Organiser
Organiser took to social media earlier this year with a message to fans promising an even bigger 2024 festival: “We are beyond excited to be working behind the scenes to assemble our 2024 lineup for you. We know that music festivals have been in the news for the wrong reasons of late, but we are here and can’t wait for December to roll around once again!”
