Good Things is back for 2025 with Tool, Weezer and Garbage leading the 2025 line-up.

Tool last played Australia in 2020 weeks before the Covid lockdown. Weezer played Australia in 2023. Garbage were lost in Australia in 2016.

The Good Things Festival in Australia has been running since 2018, making it a relatively young, yet firmly established event on the Aussie music calendar.

The inaugural Good Things Festival launched in 2018, featuring headliners like The Offspring and Stone Sour, and touring through Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The festival returned in 2019 for a second edition, maintaining its multi-city format. In 2020 and 2021 the festival went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed in 2022 and has continued annually, most recently staging events in December 2024 and planning the 2025 edition for December 5–7.
