The lineup for the highly anticipated Good Things Festival 2025 in Australia has been officially revealed, featuring renowned acts such as Tool and Weezer as headliners, promising an unforgettable experience for fans of rock and alternative music.

This exciting rock, metal, and punk festival will make its grand return to major Australian cities, including Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, with performances scheduled from December 5 to December 7. Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with live music from some of the best in the industry.

Leading the festival this year are legendary performers from Los Angeles, including the iconic prog-metal band Tool, who will be gracing Australian stages for the first time since their 2020 headline tour. Joining them are the beloved alt-rock band Weezer, who recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, affectionately known as The Blue Album. This blend of talent guarantees an electrifying experience for festival-goers.

This year’s Good Things Festival features a strong lineup of U.S. artists, including popular groups such as Garbage, All Time Low, Machine Head, Knocked Loose, and the All-American Rejects. Notably, this marks the return of the All-American Rejects to Australia after a lengthy absence of 16 years, which is sure to excite long-time fans.

Among the highlights of the festival, the renowned Swedish hardcore band will be making their final appearances in Australia, alongside local favorites Make Them Suffer and the reunited Tonight Alive. The inclusion of James Reyne, the former frontman of the ARIA Hall of Famers Australian Crawl, may seem unconventional to some, but he adds a unique touch as a veteran Aussie act, appealing to a diverse audience.

Exciting international newcomers such as Bad Nerves, Dead Poet Society, and Wargasm will also be taking the stage for their inaugural performances in Australia. Additionally, local talents like Civic, Inertia, Windwaker, and Yours Truly will contribute to the festival’s dynamic lineup, showcasing a mix of emerging and established artists.

Launched in 2018, the Good Things Festival emerged in Australia to fill a significant gap in the live music scene, particularly for fans of heavier music, following the unfortunate end of the Soundwave festival a few years prior. This festival has rapidly become a cherished event for music lovers across the country.

Since its inaugural edition, the Good Things Festival has hosted an impressive array of local and international headliners, including The Offspring, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, Korn, and many more. In 2024, the festival was set to feature the final Australian shows of the iconic Canadian punk band Sum 41, but they were regrettably forced to cancel due to lead singer Deryck Whibley being diagnosed with pneumonia.
