LOOKING BACK AT LAST YEAR’S INAUGURAL GOOD THINGS FESTIVAL, IT’S HARD TO NOT FEEL YOUR ENGINES REVVING ONCE MORE; IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST OF A TIME. THE GREATEST THING SINCE SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS, SOME HAVE SAID. WE AREN’T SURE WHO EXACTLY, BUT SOME. DEFINITELY. SURELY. GOOD THINGS FESTIVAL AND THE CROWD OF HARD-SCHEMING MUTTLEYS THAT MADE ITS 2018 EVENT POSSIBLE ARE THRILLED TO PRESENT YOU IT'S 2019 LINE-UP IN ALL ITS FINELY TUNED GLORY.
This year, Sydney fans will be marvelling at the spectacle from Good Things’ new Sydney digs at Centennial Park, a doosey of a course if there ever was one. Good things come to those who wait...And now here they are...The astounding group of artists that assemble the 2019 edition of Good Things Festival. The bands are approaching the starting line... First, is the Incredible Ire driven by Parkway Drive, fresh from headlining major European Festivals and now headlining their first ever Australian touring festival playing their only Australian shows for 2019. It’s been 3 long years for fans, but the wait is finally over…in joint pole position is the Degenerates in A Day To Remember. Manoeuvring for position is the Mansfield Maniacs, Violent Soho for their only Australian shows of 2019. Right behind is no pads, no helmets, just the pop punk anthems of Simple Plan. Then there's Peddlers of punk the legendary Bad Religion. Next we have Simple Creatures with Mark Hoppus (blink-182) and Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) followed by metal heavyweights Trivium, Australian surf rock royalty Skegss, Australian rock titans Karnivool and Enter Shikari, global pop superstars The Veronicas, the dynamic duo, and right on their tail is prog rock kings Coheed & Cambria. And there's Falling In Reverse with Dance Gavin Dance. Cruising along below is that Mean Machine with those double dealing do-badders Reel Big Fish, buzzing metal pop sensation Poppy, Thy Art Is Murder, Ice Nine Kills and Slowly Slowly. Rounding out this cavalcade of stars is some of the best young Australian bands on the circuit including The Bennies, Voyager, Yours Truly, Windwaker and The Beautiful Monument and Gravemind.
