The Huge 2024 Good Things Lineup Is Here with Korn, Sum 41, Violent Femmes and Billy Corgan
There's no shortage of big names hitting the stage in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane when this music fest returns in December 2024.
There's something about the end of winter that gets Australian music festivals locking in their plans for spring, summer and beyond. Already as 2024's frostiest season come to a close, Meredith, Always Live, Beyond The Valley, Bluesfest, Lost Paradise and SXSW Sydney have either announced or added to their lineups. Next up: Good Things.
Back when winter was just beginning, the fest confirmed that it'd be back this year and set its dates across the country's east coast. Now, its roster of acts is here just before spring arrives. Korn, Sum 41, Violent Femmes and Billy Corgan will lead the bill when Good Things heads to Melbourne on Friday, December 6, then Sydney on Saturday, December 7 and finally to Brisbane on Sunday, December 8.

As in previous years, Good Things is again taking over Flemington Racecourse, Centennial Park and Brisbane Showgrounds. That's where you'll hear 'ADIDAS', 'Got the Life', 'In Too Deep', 'Pieces', 'Blister in the Sun', 'Add It Up', 'Today', '1979' and more from the fest's first four big names alone.
The complete lineup features both international and local highlights, including Germany's Electric Callboy, plus America's Mastodon, The Gaslight Anthem, Kerry King and L7. Among the homegrown acts, Jet, The Living End and The Butterfly Effect will all take to the stage, as will Killing Heidi performing their 2000 album Reflector in full.
Festivalgoers can also look forward to carnival-style stunts and acts at STAGE 666, which returns after proving a hit in 2023.
This year's hefty list of bands follows in the footsteps of the reunited TISM, Bring Me the Horizon, The Amity Affliction, NOFX, Millencolin, Devo, Fall Out Boy, Limp Bizkit, Corey Taylor and Pennywise, all of which have graced Good Things in the past two years alone.
