==History==
==History==
In early-2018, music tour organiser [[Destroy All Lines]] announced a new music festival, ''Good Things''. It would become the biggest music festival held in Australia since [[Soundwave (Australian music festival)|Soundwave]] in 2015.<ref name="junkee" /> The Good Things festival debuted in Melbourne, before playing at Sydney and Brisbane. On 19 November, the [[New South Wales Police Force]] issued a statement addressing accusations that they "made it impossible" for the Good Things festival to operate as all-ages in Sydney by imposing "multiple impediments" and charging “exorbitant” policing fees. The next day Destroy All Lines announced that the Sydney festival would no longer be an all-ages event, and it would restricted to 18-and-over. Under-age ticket holders for the Sydney festival were later contacted and given full refunds.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/nsw-police-issue-statement-following-good-things-festival-accusations/|title=NSW Police Issue Statement Following Good Things Festival Accusations|first=Emmy|last=Mack|publisher=[[Music Feeds]]|date=20 November 2018|accessdate=18 December 2018}}</ref>

Two weeks before the first festival, Destroy All Lines announced that under-aged ticket holders would have to be accompanied by a responsible adult at the Melbourne festival.

Good Things is a music festival held in major cities around Australia. It features a number of international and Australian music acts, from various genres including rock, metal, punk, and emo.[1]

History

[edit]

In early-2018, music tour organiser Destroy All Lines announced a new music festival, Good Things. It would become the biggest music festival held in Australia since Soundwave in 2015.[2] The Good Things festival debuted in Melbourne, before playing at Sydney and Brisbane. On 19 November, the New South Wales Police Force issued a statement addressing accusations that they "made it impossible" for the Good Things festival to operate as all-ages in Sydney by imposing "multiple impediments" and charging "exorbitant" policing fees. The next day Destroy All Lines announced that the Sydney festival would no longer be an all-ages event, and it would restricted to 18-and-over. Under-age ticket holders for the Sydney festival were later contacted and given full refunds.[3]

Two weeks before the first festival, Destroy All Lines announced that under-aged ticket holders would have to be accompanied by a responsible adult at the Melbourne festival. The move was met with outrage as festival-goers and parents alike described it as 'unfair'. The Brisbane festival had no restrictions and was an all-ages event.[4] At the Sydney show, during Tonight Alive's set a 46-year-old security guard died due to a suspected heart attack.[5]

Good Things confirmed via their Facebook page that they would be back to host a 2019 festival.[6] On 19 August 2019, organisers announced the dates and venues for Good Things 2019. The Sydney venue was changed to Centennial Park to accommodate more people.[7]

The 2020 festival was cancelled due to the then-ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. Dates were announced for the 2021 festival for 3–5 December in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.[8] However the 2021 festival was also cancelled from an outbreak of the then-recent COVID-19 Omicron variant. Dates and the planned lineup still stand for the 2022 festival, which was announced alongside the former's cancellation.[9]

2018

[edit]

The 2018 festival was sponsored by Nintendo Switch, Marshall Amplification, Vans, Uppercut Deluxe, Dangerfield, Jack Daniel's, Furphy Ale, Captain Morgan, and Smirnoff.[11]
