If you were holding out for a Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan or Spiritbox sideshow this December, Good Things has shut that door.
The festival has confirmed that its three top-billed acts will be exclusive to Good Things 2026, with no sideshows in Australia or New Zealand. For fans weighing up a festival ticket against a possible headline show, that answers the big question.
Organisers say it is the first time in Good Things history that the festival has secured exclusive rights to all three bands at the top of its bill.
“For the first time in Good Things Festival history, we have secured EXCLUSIVE rights to the top three bands on the bill. NO SIDESHOWS IN AUSTRALIA OR NEW ZEALAND.”
The announcement makes Good Things the only opportunity to catch Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan and Spiritbox in Australia or New Zealand this December. Anyone hoping the run might extend beyond the three east coast festival stops will need to factor that into their plans.
More Festival Exclusives Are Still To Come
Good Things has also told fans to stay tuned for further festival-exclusive announcements. That does not mean the entire lineup has been ruled out for sideshows: this announcement specifically names Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan and Spiritbox, with more exclusives yet to be revealed.
As covered in BLUNT’s Good Things Festival 2026 lineup announcement, the trio lead a bill that also includes Polaris, The All-American Rejects, Bad Religion, Alexisonfire and Grinspoon.
Alexisonfire will perform Crisis in full, while Millencolin are bringing a full-album performance of Pennybridge Pioneers. Ministry’s appearances are billed as their Australian farewell.
