News: Weezer, Garbage, Refused and More Join TOOL for Good Things Festival

Good Things Festival returns this December with one of its most ambitious line-ups yet, spanning alternative, punk, metal, and rock. The 2025 edition will see TOOL headline their first Australian festival since Big Day Out 2011 – and their first national tour in over five years – bringing career-defining tracks from Ænima to Fear Inoculum. Joining them are power-pop and alt-rock giants Weezer, grunge-era icons Garbage, pop-punk mainstays All Time Low, and groove metal veterans Machine Head.

Also confirmed are The All-American Rejects, making their first trip to Australia in 16 years, and Swedish hardcore pioneers Refused, who will play their final Australian shows. US heavy hitters Knocked Loose and Lorna Shore return after recent sold-out tours, alongside New Found Glory, Make Them Suffer, Dayseeker, and ARIA Hall of Famer James Reyne.

The line-up also delivers nostalgia and chaos in equal measure with Kublai Khan TX, Cobra Starship, Goldfinger, Tonight Alive, Bad Nerves, Civic, Dead Poet Society, Fever 333, GWAR, High Vis, Inertia, Palaye Royale, Scene Queen, South Arcade, Wargasm, Windwaker, and Yours Truly.

Beyond the music, Stage 666 returns with sideshow spectacle including Lizardman, Jacqueline Furey, Captain Ruin, and Kill Your Pop Stars’ Ozzy Osbourne tribute, adding fire-breathing, sword-swallowing, stunt acts, and rock karaoke to the mix.

Good Things Festival hits Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this December.
