Good Things Festival 2026 announces Limp Bizkit-led line-up for East Coast return
Good Things Festival is back this December with over 30 acts across a wide array of genres with nu-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit leading the charge. Fred Durst and co. are on a crazy resurgence pushed by nostalgia for simpler times, but the band’s clearly got something to prove. If their recent shows are anything to go by, Australia’s about to get the full treatment.
Simple Plan and Spiritbox slot in either side of them, one bringing pure nostalgia, the other bringing the kind of buzz that’s had the whole heavy scene talking. Polaris rounds out the local top-liners, riding a wave of momentum that’s put them right up there with the biggest metalcore exports this country’s produced.
The All-American Rejects are deep into an unlikely, genuinely fun comeback, Bad Religion are still out here proving punk doesn’t have an expiry date and Alexisonfire are dusting off an old favourite for the occasion. Grinspoon and Millencolin round out the big hitters that spans generations without missing a beat.
Beyond that, the lineup only gets more intriguing and exciting: industrial legends, pop-punk and nu-metal throwbacks, and a stacked undercard of heavier acts across three stages, with a dedicated heavy stage for anyone who wants to go the whole day without their ears getting a break.
Pre-sale opens Tuesday, August 18 at 10am AEST.
General tickets follow Thursday, August 20 at 10am AEST via Oztix.
