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] At its inaugural festival, the headline act was The Offspring.

History

In early 2018, 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. Two weeks before the first festival, Destroy All Lines announced that under-aged ticket holders would have to be accompanied by an adult. The move was met with outrage as festival-goers and parents alike described it as 'unfair'.[3] At the Sydney show, during Tonight Alive's set a 46-year-old security guard died due to a suspected heart attack.[4]

The 2018 festival was sponsored by Nintendo Switch, Marshall Amplification, Vans, Uppercut Deluxe, Dangerfield, Jack Daniel's, Furphy Ale, Captain Morgan, and Smirnoff.[5]
