Australia’s loudest travelling circus of riffs, pits, and mayhem – Good Things Festival – is set to tear through Melbourne (Dec 5), Sydney (Dec 6), and Brisbane (Dec 7), armed with its biggest lineup to date.
Now, as if that wasn’t enough to send the nation’s moshers into cardiac arrest, the fest’s organisers have dropped the long-awaited sideshow lineup, an atomic bomb of headline gigs giving fans a chance to catch some of the festival’s biggest acts up close and sweaty.
Good Things 2025 Sideshows
From a fresh sideshow for prog metal titans TOOL, to a new batch revealed for fans of pop-punk icons All Time Low, to metalcore juggernauts Lorna Shore, ska-punk legends Goldfinger, and boundary-pushers like Fever 333, this is the biggest and most diverse slate of Good Things sideshows yet.
Suss down below for your complete breakdown of who’s playing where and when & good luck picking just one!
