GOOD THINGS FESTIVAL NEWS: WINNERS OF BAND COMP, CHANGES TO LINE-UP AND SET TIMES DROPPED
Prepare yourselves, the madcap chaos of Australia's largest travelling music festival is nearly upon us; yes, Good Things Festival season will officially kick off next week, with three East Coast festival dates, a horde of headline sideshows and a stacked bill of international heavyweights, old favourites, hungry up-and-comers, and Aussie staples all ready to make 2024's Good Things Festival one for the ages.
Originally set to perform on Stage 5 alongside some headline sideshow performances, Sacramento's DESTROY BOYS are devastated to announce today that they will no longer be performing at Good Things this year:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will have to cancel our appearance at Good Things and Australia shows. To our Aussie fans - we are sorry we can’t make it this time, and we can’t wait to meet you in the future! ” - Destroy Boys
In leiu of DESTROY BOYS performing, the band's co-headliner for their previously planned headline sideshows, ALEX LAHEY, joins the festival lineup for 2024 in their place, with the beloved Aussie alt-rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist set to bring her melodically-charged and endlessly relatable anthems to a festival setting for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Also set to add local flavour to Good Things Festival next week will be the winners of the official Battle Of The Bands competition, with BODY PRISON winning in Melbourne, PYREFLY in Sydney, and COSMICA in Brisbane. With over 220 bands and over 20 thousand votes in the pre-heat round, the competition spanned three local heats before the final battles this week. Each winning band from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will open their respective hometown events on Stage 5, and will also take home consultations with some of the best in the biz, from booking agents and promoters, through to publicists, managers, social media and more to help them thrive beyond their Good Things experience.
And witness some extra Aussie talent at Good Things Festival this December, with the addition of some stellar local talent in each city, we are pleased to welcome BELLE HAVEN in Melbourne, INERTIA in Sydney, and BAD NEIGHBOUR in Brisbane.
The final tickets for Good Things Festival are on sale now, but don't say we didn't warn you - these tix won't last long! Secure your spot today and come soak up the beautiful madness in 2024!
