Filling a rather mammoth void that touring heavy music fest Soundwave left behind in 2015, the newly minted Good Things Festival has finally quit it with the drip-feeding of artists and dropped the entire lineup, set to hit Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne in December. Mates, it’s a fuckin’ doozy.

Legends of skate punk, The Offspring, are making their return (and playing their 1994 album Smash in FULL) and bringing along metal heavy-hitters Stone Sour, iconic emo kings Dashboard Confessional (who are playing their classic From The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most and ~fan faves~), and acts like Tonight Alive, Emmure, Babymetal, and The Used, along for the trip – just to name a few.
The big fest will be popping up at Paramatta Park, Melbourne Showground, and Brisbane Showground at the start of December and hoo boy if summer wasn’t hot enough, it’s about to be searing with this red hot lineup.

Honestly, 15-year-old me is beside herself right now. There’s absolutely no denying that my emo ~phase~ has actually lasted a solid 10+ years. I’m just leaning into it at this point and that’s totally foine by me.
All the gigs are 15+ (hell yeah!!) and tickets go on sale through Oztix from 9am Thursday, August 30, and you can sign up for presales over on the Good Things website right fkn now.
Something has entered the atmosphere.
Something positive;
Something…Good.
Something…Different.
