Are you ready for the madcap chaos of Australia’s largest travelling music festival? Good Things season returns with a head-spinning line-up fit for a fever dream. Across three East Coast dates, this year’s Good Things Festival will deliver a trip down the rabbit hole with a stacked bill of international heavyweights, old favourites, hungry up-and-comers, and Aussie staples. And in a boon for younger attendees, Sydney’s Centennial Park festival date will be a 16+ event for the first time!
As the coveted headliners for Good Things Festival 2024, Californian nu-metal pioneers Korn will be celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of their landmark self-titled debut album and a career trajectory that speak volumes. Seeing SUM 41 will be a bittersweet occasion for dedicated Aussie fans, as the Good Things Festival acts as the band’s swansong of the Setting Sum Tour Down Under.
Speaking of anthems, it’s hard to deny the impact Violent Femmes have had on the broad history of alternative music and what about German heavy arena sensation Electric Callboy?
The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will wow the Good Things Festival crowd with a spirited set supported by The Delta Riggs as his backing band, while Mastodon and Kerry King add something a little heavier to the bill.
Dragon will showcase their heavy prog pedigree and penchant for soul-flavoured melodies, and elsewhere DIY rock troubadour Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls will mark another return to Australian shores.
Pennsylvanian outfit From Ashes To New ride back into town, with alt artist Grandson and Cape Cod iconoclasts Highly Suspect joining Swedish heavy purveyors Imminence who are touring Australia for the very first time.
Killing Heidi will throw it back to the early 00s, while one of Britain’s breakout heavy exports Loathe play alongside Sydney newcomers Reliqua and Taylor Acorn.
2024 also marks the return of the talented STAGE 666 Artists and their carnivalesque Freak Show lounge, with lots of entertainment throughout the day.
The long-awaited return of The Gaslight Anthem to Australian shores has been almost a decade in the making while Jet also get their shine on as they take to the stage to celebrate the recent twentieth anniversary of their multi-platinum debut album, 2003’s Get Born.
Punk rockers The Living End will get the crowd pumping, and L7 return to give audiences another taste of Californian riot grrrl history.
Sydney futurists Northlane take to the stage, while Bowling For Soup make their first trip Down Under in over fifteen years. Alpha Wolf cap off the metalcore crew’s most successful year to date and Orlando emo sensation Sleeping With Sirens join Brisbane’s The Butterfly Effect, with 311 to make their first Down Under since 1998.
Aviva will rally her Outsider community to the call with her idiosyncratic spin on pop-rock immediacy, and Sacramento’s Destroy Boys will be eager to unleash tracks from their brand new Funeral Soundtrack #4.
