In Australian news ‘All Good Things Festival‘ is back this December with a huge lineup of alternative music legends, today’s biggest acts and exciting new artists. The festival will visit Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane with every event open to fans of 16 years of age and over. Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan and Spiritbox lead the Good Things lineup for 2026.
Leading the way are ‘Limp Bizkit whos imprint on nu metal and alternative culture has generated an enduring and towering reputation throughout the band’s 30+ year career. As one of the major pioneers of nu metal, and one of the most successful bands in the scene of all time, Limp Bizkit’s signature collision of rap rock, grooves, searing riffs, angsty themes and larger than life performances has transcended the group from the late 90s breeding ground of MTV and teenage frustrations into enamouring a multi-generational fanbase with high octane party anthems and entertaining chaos decades since their formation. Exploding out of the gates with their debut full-length album, 1997’s Three Dollar Bill, Y’all, Limp Bizkit’s sophomore 1999 album Significant Other reached #1 on the US Billboard 200, ticked off two GRAMMY Award Nominations, was certified 7 x Platinum, and spawned some of the band’s perennially adored singles, including Break Stuff and Nookie. Now with six studio albums under their belts, including 2000’s Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water which set the record for the fastest-selling rock album of all time, and their most recent full-length venture, 2021’s STILL SUCKS, Limp Bizkit continue to blitz streaming charts to this very day, sell out international tours and headline powerhouse global festivals, including Download Festival in the UK earlier this year. Limp Bizkit will make their return to Good Things Festival in 2026 as headliners following their unforgettable performances at the 2023 edition and selling out their headline sideshows in Brisbane and Melbourne. Believe the hype, there’s nothing quite like a live show, a Limp Bizkitnd these will be monolithic performances to truly rattle the mainframe.’
‘As one of the most culturally and commercially successful bands in rock, Simple Plan have spent over two decades cultivating and evolving their status as pop punk legends. Now in command of over 10 billion streams worldwide, almost 2 billion views on YouTube, and an inescapable social media presence that bridges their longtime fans with a whole new generation, Simple Plan have never been a band content to rest on their laurels. The group’s multi-platinum 2002 album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls introduced the world to smash singles like I’d Do Anything, I’m Just A Kid, Addicted and Perfect, while later hits spanning Welcome To My Life, Summer Paradise, Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?) and more catapulted the Montreal-hailing quartet onto the main stages of Vans Warped Tour and When We Were Young, along with performances at the 2010 Winter Olympics, worldwide amphitheatre and arena tours with some of the scene’s biggest names, and massive headline treks along the way. Famous for their buoyant performances laden with pop punk anthems and infectious enthusiasm, Simple Plan have also raised more than $3 million through their Simple Plan Foundation over the years. Recently celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2025, including a co-headline run with The Offspring down under, Simple Plan will once again wow Good Things Festival crowds in 2026 after their mesmerising appearances at the event in 2019.
The sonic equivalent of capturing lightning in a bottle, Canada’s Spiritbox solidified themselves as a household name in 2020 via their blistering breakout single Holy Roller. Instantly capturing attention and exploding into a meteoric rise, the progressive heavy metal mainstays have notably never plateaued along the way, exceeding every expectation in 2021 with the release of their debut studio album Eternal Blue, which debuted at #13 on the US Billboard 200, and ultimately rewrote the genre’s playbook in the process. With three GRAMMY Award nominations under their belts for Best Metal Performance, including for Jaded in 2024, Cellar Door in 2025 and Soft Spine in 2026, Spiritbox remain one of the most influential acts in modern metal today; a fact echoed by the band’s equally beloved 2025 sophomore studio album Tsunami Sea, which hit #26 on the US Billboard 200, cracked the top 20 in the UK charts, reached #1 on the UK Indie charts and #12 on the Top German Album charts. A band simultaneously capable of boundless innovation, fearless reinvention and an unwavering connection to their burgeoning global audience, Spiritbox’s live show boasts arena-level production, skull-crushing heaviness morphed alongside ethereal atmospherics, while immersing audiences head-first into the band’s unwavering energy and artistry that most recently was on display for audiences down under when the group made their debut Aussie performances at Knotfest Australia in 2023.
