Good Things 2026 Lineup: Limp Bizkit, Spiritbox + MORE

GOOD THINGS HAVE ARRIVED.

After spending the past few days drip-feeding us dates, venues and one extremely unsubtle ‘Dirty Little Secret’, Good Things Festival has finally ripped the tarp off its monster 2026 lineup – and once again, Australia’s annual heavy music Christmas party has delivered an absolutely cooked collision of metal, punk, hardcore, emo, nu-metal, pop-punk and… Choirboys?

Yep. More on that shortly.

Leading the charge are Limp Bizkit, returning to headline Good Things after causing scenes at the festival’s 2023 edition, alongside pop-punk royalty Simple Plan and modern metal juggernauts Spiritbox.

The frankly enormous bill also features Aussie metalcore giants Polaris, The All-American Rejects, Bad Religion, Alexisonfire, Grinspoon, Millencolin, Bilmuri, Ministry, Chad Gray, MxPx, Neck Deep, Speed, Slowly Slowly, P.O.D. and The Devil Wears Prada.

There are some particularly juicy special sets buried in there, too.

Alexisonfire will celebrate 20 years of their landmark 2006 album Crisis by performing it in full, while Millencolin will give Pennybridge Pioneers the full-album treatment. Ministry, meanwhile, are billing their Good Things appearances as their final Australian performances, while Mudvayne and HELLYEAH frontman Chad Gray will celebrate “30 Years Of Madness” with material from both bands.

And then there’s The All-American Rejects, whose appearance essentially confirms yesterday’s extremely unsubtle Good Things tease.

The emo/pop-punk hitmakers were actually supposed to play the festival last year, but were forced to withdraw at the eleventh hour following a sudden family loss, with Stand Atlantic stepping in to replace them.

At the time, the band promised Aussie fans: “We’ll make it up to you as soon as we’re able.”

Well, consider the raincheck officially cashed, with Good Things 2026 set to mark The All-American Rejects’ first Australian performances in more than 17 years.

Elsewhere, the undercard is stacked with All Them Witches, The Black Queen, Future Palace, Headwreck, The Home Team, House Of Protection, ivri, Kami Kehoe, Locked Shut, LØLØ, vianova and Indonesian metal trio Voice Of Baceprot, plus the returning chaos of Stage 666.

And because apparently somebody at Good Things HQ spun the Australian music roulette wheel and decided to respect wherever it landed, Choirboys are also playing.

Yes. Run To Paradise Choirboys.

The Aussie pub-rock veterans will be bringing more than four decades of homegrown rock history to a festival otherwise populated by breakdown merchants, emo heroes, hardcore bands and people who probably own significantly more black clothing than the national average. And you know what? We kind of love the chaos tbh.

Good Things Festival 2026 will once again hit the East Coast across one gigantic weekend this December, kicking off at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Friday, 4th December before heading to Sydney Showground on Saturday, 5th December and Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday, 6th December.

All three events will be 16+.
