Good Things Festival 2026 Lineup Unveiled

After months of speculation and internet rumours, Good Things Festival have dropped its 2026 lineup, and we must say we are impressed.

Topping the bill of this year's heavy, alternative, punk and rock fest is none other than Limp Bizkit, who have enjoyed a resurgence of late. The Fred Durst-fronted nu metal outfit has done it all across a career spanning more than 30 years, with the band performing at all three dates in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Joining Limp Bizkit are pop punk legends Simple Plan, who were in Australia last year celebrating their 25th anniversary alongside The Offspring; Canada’s Spiritbox, who made their Australian live debut in 2023; Sydney metalcore giants Polaris and American rockers The All-American Rejects.

Punk fans are in for a treat, with Bad Religion celebrating their 45th (+1) anniversary, Swedish favourites Millencolin performing their hit album Pennybridge Pioneers in full and pop punkers MXPX finally returning down under after a 13-year absence.

Post-hardcore groovers Alexisonfire are playing their seminal album Crisis in full alongside sets from Aussie alt-rock titans Grinspoon, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Bilmuri and Chicago industrial metal heavies Ministry, playing their final Australian gigs.

The lineup also features heavy metal vocalist Chad Gray performing songs from both Mudvayne and HELLYEAH, British rockers Neck Deep, Sydney hardcore brutes SPEED, indie rockers Slowly Slowly, nu metal pioneers P.O.D. and Ohio metalcore success The Devil Wears Prada.

Good Things has become known for hosting one legacy act each year, and the 2026 edition of the festival features Australian rock royalty in the form of Choirboys. The pub rockers will perform all their biggest tracks, including 'Run to Paradise', 'Boys Will Be Boys' and 'Never Gonna Die'.

Rounding out the bill are All Them Witches, Locked Shut, Headwreck, Locked Shut, vianova, The Black Queen, Voice Of Baceprot, ivri, The Home Team, Future Palace, House Of Protection, Kami Kehoe, LØLØ, plus the return of The Chaos Of Stage 666!
