Since the first Good Things in 2018, the festival has established itself as Australia’s top alternative, punk and metal festival, taking over the mantle once held by the now defunct Soundwave Festival.
Last year’s event was a belter, headlined by Korn, Violent Femmes, Mastadon and Billy Corgan alongside The Gaslight Anthem, The Living End, Northlane, Jet and more.
Taking to Facebook to announce the dates of Good Things, organisers posted: “Good Things Festival 2025. SAVE THE DATES. Australia, we hear you! Yes, Good Things Festival is returning! Yes, we have the dates!”
