There has been a little bit of a gap in the Australian rock scene ever since we lost Soundwave in 2015. But with the recent success of UNIFY and Download Festival, it has sparked the birth of a brand new touring festival that is going to excite the punk-rock lovers of Australia. The inaugural event, Good Things Festival will kick off in Melbourne on December 7 before heading to Sydney and Brisbane for some slick summer fun shows. The epic line boasts a collection of your favourite rock-punk bands like The Offspring, Stone Sour, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Bullet For My Valentine and The Used, just to name a few. With tickets selling fast they have just announced a couple of exclusive and exciting sideshows for you to get up close and personal with a couple of your favourite acts.
Check out all the side show information below! Tickets are on sale Friday 19 October at 9am local time, so get in quick! Please note no other sideshows or second shows will be announced so these are exclusively the only sideshows for Good Things Festival 2018!
