Good things come to those who wait, and for those who looked at the Good Things Festival 2023 line-up and couldn’t get enough: today is your day, as the sideshows have arrived.
In case you missed it: Good Things, Australia’s premier alternative music festival, hits Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane on the first three days of December with a line-up led by Fall Out Boy, Limp Bizkit and Devo.
Elsewhere on the line-up, alternative artist PVRIS, groove metal pioneers Sepultura, metalcore favourites Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor, Japanese metal chameleons Hanabie, pop-punk favourites Taking Back Sunday, and many more take over stages across the east coast.
In the last week of November and the first week of December, Good Things acts will travel across the country – with Limp Bizkit and Behemoth also booking sideshows in Auckland, New Zealand – performing in theatres and clubs for their most devoted fans.
Highlights from the Good Things 2023 sideshows include Limp Bizkit taking special guests Hanabie to Auckland and Sydney (Hordern Pavilion), with dates at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall and Melbourne’s John Cain Arena.
Devo are hosting a theatre run, appearing at Sydney’s ICC Super Theatre, Brisbane’s QPAC and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, while I Prevail host a one-off sideshow at Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel with special guests The Plot In You.
