For Australian music fans, simply hearing that a major festival is returning can feel like a win these days.
Good Things Festival has officially confirmed its 2026 dates, locking in a three city run across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this December.
The festival will hit Melbourne on December 4th, Sydney on December 5th and Brisbane on December 6th, with organisers encouraging fans to pre register for first access to tickets and upcoming lineup announcements.
While no artists have been revealed yet, the announcement alone is enough to spark excitement in a live music landscape that has endured more than its fair share of setbacks in recent years.
Australian festival fans have watched a growing list of events disappear, pause or struggle amid rising costs and softer ticket sales. The challenges have been felt across the industry, with several major festivals either cancelling editions or taking extended breaks as promoters navigate increasingly difficult conditions.

Since 2018
Since launching in 2018, the festival has established itself as one of Australia’s premier destinations for rock, punk, metal and alternative music, regularly attracting international heavyweights alongside local favourites. Past editions have featured everyone from Korn and Bring Me The Horizon through to TOOL, Weezer, Garbage and The All-American Rejects.
The next big question is when fans can expect the lineup?
If recent years are any indication, the wait may not be long, Good Things unveiled its 2025 lineup on August 12th after teasing the reveal date just weeks earlier, suggesting a similar August announcement window could be on the cards for 2026.
Until then, speculation is already beginning to build around who could make the trip Down Under, with fans flooding forums and social media with wishlist lineups and predictions. In a period where festival cancellations have often dominated headlines, Good Things 2026 moving forward feels like good news the Australian music scene could use.
