TOOL, Weezer, Garbage Lead Huge 2025 Good Things Festival Line-Up

Australia’s loudest summer tradition is back and this year’s Good Things Festival line-up is nothing short of colossal. Headliners TOOL, Weezer, and Garbage will lead the 2025 East Coast rock, punk, and metal extravaganza, joined by a stacked bill of international heavyweights and homegrown heroes.

Returning to Australia for the first time since early 2020, prog-metal icons TOOL will deliver their trademark labyrinthine riffs and the haunting vocals of Maynard James Keenan. They’re joined by alt-rock favourites Weezer, ready to roll out sing-alongs like Buddy Holly, Island in the Sun, and their viral Africa cover. Meanwhile, Garbage makes their first Aussie appearance since 2016, fronted by the ever-magnetic Shirley Manson and armed with new album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light.

The bill also features farewell performances from Swedish hardcore legends Refused, alongside Machine Head, All Time Low, New Found Glory, The All-American Rejects, Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore, Cobra Starship, and many more. Aussie acts include Make Them Suffer, Tonight Alive, Windwaker, Yours Truly, and even pub rock icon James Reyne.

Good Things Festival hits Melbourne (Dec 5), Sydney (Dec 6), and Brisbane (Dec 7). Tickets go on sale 10am AEST, Thursday August 21 via the official Good Things website.

This summer, the mosh pit is calling — and it’s louder than ever.
