Fast becoming Australia’s biggest festival, the organisers behind Good Things Festival have confirmed the dates and venues of this year’s festival.
The punk, alternative and metal fest once again takes place in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane across the first weekend of December, with Sydney getting a venue upgrade.
Good Things Festival 2025 takes over Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Friday 5 December, then moves to its new home at Sydney’s Showgrounds on Saturday 6 December, before the final festival at Brisbane’s Showgrounds on Sunday 7 December.
The decision to move the Sydney event to the Showgrounds means a bigger crowd capacity, better facilities and more shelter. Sydney Showgrounds are also a much more accessible-friendly venue for patrons.
Promotors Destroy All Lines have promised the lineup is coming soon, with punters urged to sign up to the Good Things mailing list and follow their social accounts on Instagram and Facebook to keep updated on all the details regarding this year’s festival.

Since the first Good Things burst onto the Aussie festival scene in 2018, the one-day music extravaganza has established itself as Australia’s top alternative, punk and metal festival, taking over the mantle once held by Soundwave Festival.
Last year’s event was headlined by Korn, Violent Femmes, Mastadon and Billy Corgan alongside The Gaslight Anthem, The Living End, Northlane, Jet and more.
