Plus The Chaos Of Stage 666!

In a time of digital chaos and concrete sprawl, the frequencies have locked in and a citadel for heavy and alternative music will emerge once again in 2026. Welcome to the next evolution of Australia’s largest travelling music celebration, with Good Things Festival returning this year for another monumental cycle, armed with a colossal lineup from every sector, spanning culture-shaping legends through to the current defining generation of the alternative scene and emerging artists set to shape the future. Locked in across the East Coast this December, all event dates will once again be 16+ and up. The network is alive, and the architectural soundscape awaits to welcome all generations in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this December.

Leading the primary frequency for Good Things Festival in 2026, 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧’s imprint on nu metal and alternative culture has generated an enduring and towering reputation throughout the band’s 30+ year career. As one of the major pioneers of nu metal, and one of the most successful bands in the scene of all time, 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧’s signature collision of rap rock, grooves, searing riffs, angsty themes and larger than life performances has transcended the group from the late 90s breeding ground of MTV and teenage frustrations into enamouring a multi-generational fanbase with high octane party anthems and entertaining chaos decades since their formation. Exploding out of the gates with their debut full-length album, 1997’s 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡, 𝙔’𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧’s sophomore 1999 album 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 reached #1 on the US Billboard 200, ticked off two 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗠𝗬 Award Nominations, was certified 7 x Platinum, and spawned some of the band’s perennially adored singles, including 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 and 𝘕𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘦. Now with six studio albums under their belts, including 2000’s 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙩 𝘿𝙤𝙜 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 which set the record for the fastest-selling rock album of all time, and their most recent full-length venture, 2021’s 𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙎𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙎, 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧 continue to blitz streaming charts to this very day, sell out international tours and headline powerhouse global festivals, including Download Festival earlier this year. 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧 will make their return to Good Things Festival in 2026 as headliners following their unforgettable performances at the 2023 edition and selling out their headline sideshows in Brisbane and Melbourne. Believe the hype, there’s nothing quite like a 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝗕𝗜𝗭𝗞𝗜𝗧 live show, and these will be monolithic performances to truly rattle the mainframe.

As one of the most culturally and commercially successful bands in rock, 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 have spent over two decades cultivating and evolving their status as pop punk legends. Now in command of over 10 billion streams worldwide, almost 2 billion views on YouTube, and an inescapable social media presence that bridges their longtime fans with a whole new generation, 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 have never been a band content to rest on their laurels. The group’s multi-platinum 2002 album 𝙉𝙤 𝙋𝙖𝙙𝙨, 𝙉𝙤 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙨…𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 introduced the world to smash singles like 𝘐’𝘥 𝘋𝘰 𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘈 𝘒𝘪𝘥, 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 and 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵, while later hits spanning 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘛𝘰 𝘔𝘺 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 (𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘰 𝘔𝘦?) and more catapulted the Montreal-hailing quartet onto the main stages of Vans Warped Tour and When We Were Young, along with performances at the 2010 Winter Olympics, worldwide amphitheatre and arena tours with some of the scene’s biggest names, and massive headline treks along the way. Famous for their buoyant performances laden with pop punk anthems and infectious enthusiasm, 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 have also raised more than $3 million through their Simple Plan Foundation over the years. Recently celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2025, including a co-headline run with The Offspring down under, 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 will once again wow Good Things Festival crowds in 2026 after their mesmerising appearances at the event in 2019.

This December, a monolithic sonic sanctuary awaits. Escape the corporate static. Plug into the spectacular chaos. Embrace the noise. The future is now. Good Things are here. End of transmission.

Performers

Neck Deep
Neck Deep are a pop-punk band from Wrexham, Wales who formed in 2012. The band have one studio album to their name along with three E.P’s and have toured all over the world as both a headliner and a support act.
Ministry
Born in 1981 in Chicago. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal Sire/Warner albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination (the first of six). Eight more albums would follow on various labels including their own 13th Planet imprint. After a break in 2013, the band reformed, toured and signed to Nuclear Blast with three releases. AmeriKKKant (2018), Moral Hygiene (2021), and HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES (2024). Late 2024, Ministry signed with Cleopatra Records and released The Squirrely Years Revisited. Celebrating the early synth pop years with new studio takes.

Grinspoon
Grinspoon are an Australian rock band from Lismore, New South Wales, formed in 1995 and fronted by Phil Jamieson on vocals and guitar with Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass guitar and Kristian Hopes on drums. Also in 1995, Grinspoon won the Triple J-sponsored Unearthed competition for Lismore, with their post-grunge song "Sickfest". The name "Grinspoon" was taken from Dr. Lester Grinspoon, an associate professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who supported marijuana for medical use. The Grinspoon sound changed to more mainstream rock at the release of the 2002 album, New Detention, gaining fans and peaking at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Charts; similarly 2007's Alibis & Other Lies also reached No. 2. The 2004 album, Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills, which peaked at No. 4, won the 2005 'Best Rock Album Award' at the ARIA Music Awards.

vianova
Since forming in 2016, Vianova have carved out their own niche between progressive metal and djent, paying no heed to the conventions of the scene. After their debut EP “A Place I Want To Live In But I Don't Want To Die For” (2018), the quintet from Berlin gained a ton of stage experience and grew together as a musical friendship project with their own unique style. You can hear this on their follow-up EPs “Looking For...” (2022) and “...A Way Out” (2023) as well as at their hugely intense concerts, which have earned them acclaim well beyond Germany. Word has got around that Vianova are now among the local leading lights of metalcore, breathing new life into the genre with rapid release bends and pitch shifts, atmospheric electronic passages and razor-sharp precision playing. The guys themselves call it “angry dance music”. Who are we to argue? There couldn't be a more innovative sound to dance, go wild and shout along to.

Speed
Since their inception in 2019, hardcore five-piece SPEED has evolved from a DIY Australian band to a global powerhouse. Their 2024 debut album ONLY ONE MODE catapulted the group into the spotlight; but in the midst of SPEED’s unprecedented success, tragedies struck. SPEED’s latest project, ALL MY ANGELS, is a three-track EP that reflects on the passing of three close friends in recent years. Those events brought intense heartbreak to their community, but over time, they’ve magnified what SPEED have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret. In the years prior to ALL MY ANGELS, the band wrestled with their collective grief and life on the road. On ALL MY ANGELS, that same collective grief has brought the five friends closer together; emboldening them to live life with greater clarity. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, more vulnerable and raw than ever before. Musically, ALL MY ANGELS further explores what SPEED can contribute to modern hardcore; hitting deeper pockets of groove, experimenting with synths and samples, and delivering cathartic hooks that make it their most soul-baring effort. More than ever, SPEED is a band that’s being guided by their lived experiences, from eye-opening triumphs to the most harrowing losses. In any case, they’ll continue to move forward with love and conviction.
