Ahead of the Good Things 2026 lineup dropping next Tuesday 11 August, organisers have revealed the venues for this year's festival.

Arguably the best travelling heavy, alternative and punk festival in Australia, Good Things takes over the East Coast this December.

Kicking off in Melbourne on Friday 4 December, the festival returns to Flemington Racecourse, followed by dates at Sydney's Showground on Saturday 5 December and Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday 6 December.

All venues remain the same as last year, with fans keen to be kept in the loop regarding the lineup urged to sign up to the Good Things mailing list and follow their social accounts on Instagram and Facebook.

Since its inception in 2018, Good Things has grown into the perfect Soundwave replacement, curating a diverse lineup of artists for those who like their music on the heavier side.

Last year’s event was another major success headlined by TOOL alongside the likes of Garbage, Weezer, All Time Low, Machine Head, Refused, Goldfinger and many more.
