Good Things Festival 2026 has dropped its official set times, giving fans their first chance to plan out a massive weekend of live music across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. 

With five stages packed with international heavyweights and local favourites, festival punters will have their work out for them trying to catch everyone on their must-see list. And with several major acts going head-to-head, some tough choices are inevitable.

Leading the charge are Limp Bizkit, who will close out Stage 1 from 8.30pm. But anyone hoping to catch every minute of Fred Durst and co. will have to sacrifice Bad Religion, whose 8.30pm headline slot on Stage 3 runs until 9.30pm.

Love Music?

Get your daily dose of metal, rock, indie, pop, and everything else in between.

And that’s just the beginning of the scheduling headaches.

Pop-punk favourites Simple Plan and post-hardcore heavyweights Alexisonfire are both locked in for 7.30pm, while Spiritbox and Millencolin go head-to-head at 6.30pm.

Earlier in the evening, Polaris and MXPX will overlap, while fans of The All-American Rejects, Chad Grey and Ministry will have some decisions to make during the late-afternoon stretch.

Elsewhere, the lineup features Grinspoon, Bilmuri, The Devil Wears Prada, P.O.D., Neck Deep, Slowly Slowly, House of Protection, The Home Team, Vianova, and plenty more.

The festival’s fifth stage also features a handful of city-specific additions, with RINRIN appearing in Melbourne, Feel the Pain in Sydney, and Diamond Construct in Brisbane.

And for anyone who somehow finds a spare moment between sets, organisers are also promising the return of the chaos of Stage 666.

Following a massive 2025 edition featuring Tool, Garbage, Weezer, Knocked Loose, Machine Head and More, Good Things is once again shaping up as one of the biggest weekends on Australia’s heavy music calendar.

The full set times for all three cities have been released, which gives festival goers just over six weeks to work out their game plan. Whether that means racing between stages, catching half a set or reluctantly choosing favourites is another matter entirely.

Good Things Festival 2026 takes place in Melbourne on Friday, December 4th, Sydney on Saturday, December 5th, and Brisbane on Sunday, December 6th. Remaining tickets are available via goodthingsfestival.com.au.
