Good Things festival, brought to us by promotors Destroy All Lines and taking over Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane across the first weekend of December is delighting heavy fans with the release of their 2025 lineup - covering some of metal, rock and punk’s finest and most nostalgic American and global heroes.
Since 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. The 2025 lineup upholds this standard, bringing the best nostalgic alternative, punk and metal bands from across the globe to Australian soil, as well as championing up and coming acts.
Four-time Grammy award winning American heavy metal band Tool is set to headline, marking their first Australian show in over five years, and first Australian festival appearance since Big Day out in 2011.
Joined by age-less iconic American rock band Weezer, and American alt-rockers Garbage, who released their last album 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light' in May, the headliners transport audiences to the sweet spot of 90’s heavy and rock music.
