After months of speculation, Good Things Festival has finally revealed its 2026 lineup, and it is looking very good indeed.
Leading the charge is nu metal heavyweight Limp Bizkit, with Fred Durst and crew heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as headliners. The band has enjoyed a major resurgence in recent years, making their return one of the biggest draws on this year’s bill.
They’ll be joined by pop punk favourites Simple Plan, Canadian metalcore powerhouse Spiritbox, Sydney’s Polaris and American rockers The All-American Rejects.
Punk fans are also well catered for, with Bad Religion celebrating their 45th (+1) anniversary, while Swedish favourites Millencolin will perform their hit album Pennybridge Pioneers in full. MXPX will also make their long-awaited Australian return after 13 years away.
Post-hardcore favourites Alexisonfire will perform their seminal album Crisis in full, while Grinspoon, Bilmuri and Chicago industrial metal legends Ministry are also on the bill, with the latter playing their final Australian gigs.
There’s plenty more heavy action across the lineup, including Chad Gray performing songs from Mudvayne and HELLYEAH, Neck Deep, SPEED, Slowly Slowly, P.O.D. and The Devil Wears Prada.
Continuing its tradition of featuring an Australian legacy act, Good Things will welcome rock royalty Choirboys, who will perform classics including Run to Paradise, Boys Will Be Boys and Never Gonna Die.
Rounding out the massive bill are All Them Witches, Locked Shut, Headwreck, vianova, The Black Queen, Voice Of Baceprot, ivri, The Home Team, Future Palace, House Of Protection, Kami Kehoe, LØLØ and more, alongside the return of The Chaos Of Stage 666.
Good Things Festival hits Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Friday 4 December, followed by Sydney on 5 December and Brisbane on 7 December. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Tuesday 18 August at 10am AEST, with general public tickets available from Thursday 20 August.
