THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY 8 DECEMBER – NORTHCOTE THEATRE, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now and forever, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS proudly remain \u201ca band of the people\u201d, balancing raw honesty with uncompromising artistic integrity since forming at the turn of the century.<\/p>\n

An antidote to the age of opulence and over-stimulation, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS\u2019 bulletproof back catalogue incites adoration from day-one OG fans through to brand new converts, with earlier hits like Dirty Little Secret, Move Along and It Ends Tonight joining with more recent creative terrain, including their fifth 2026 studio album Sandbox.<\/p>\n

Beginning a renaissance in the 2020s, the band sold out venues across North America on their first proper headline tour in over a decade, and continue to cut through the bullshit, silence the noise and meet audiences exactly where they are to this very day with the music that they need; and this fact was witnessed with gusto via Sandbox, their first ever independent release and a resounding reminder of rock’s unsung antiheroes doing what they do best: pulling no punches, and delivering sticky, sharp and sometimes sweet anthems.<\/p>\n

2026 will also mark THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS’ first performances in Australia in over 17 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MILLENCOLIN<\/strong><\/span>
\n‘PERFORMING PENNYBRIDGE PIONEERS IN FULL’<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – NORTHCOTE THEATRE, MELBOURNE
\nTUESDAY 8 DECEMBER – TIVOLI, BRISBANE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nMILLENCOLIN<\/strong>\u00a0may have been started by a group of goofy teenagers singing about overeating and playing video games, but for over 25 years, the Swedish punk pillars have perfected their ever-evolving brand of melodic punk, continuously achieving global success, and also shaping skate punk in the 1990s and 2000s in the process.<\/p>\n

Now nine albums in, with thousands of shows and a lineup that has survived and thrived the entire time, MILLENCOLIN<\/strong>\u00a0have toured the globe both as headliners as well as alongside the likes of The Offspring, Bad Religion and countless others. And most recently, the group released their 2019 album\u00a0SOS<\/em>\u00a0which saw them stretch into new sonic and lyrical territory, praised by The AU Review for\u00a0“its punchy punk rock beat, mixed with the relatable and at times cheeky lyrics the band have produced in the past”.<\/em><\/p>\n

MILLENCOLIN <\/strong>will touch down in Australia later this year after previously electrifying crowds down under with Pennywise in 2025, and delighting Good Things Festival crowds in 2022. And as an extra icing on top this year, MILLENCOLIN<\/strong> will perform their groundbreaking and platinum-certified 2000 album Pennybridge Pioneers<\/em> in full at the festival this December.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
BILMURI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY 8 DECEMBER – MEOW NUI, WELLINGTON
\nWEDNESDAY 9 DECEMBER – POWERSTATION, AUCKLAND<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nFrom a DIY phenomenon to selling out tours around the world and sharing stages with Sleep Token, BABYMETAL and Bad Omens, Columbus, Ohio singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer BILMURI <\/strong>has spent the past decade defying expectations while also catching the eyes and ears of some of the biggest names in the scene.<\/p>\n

2024’s\u00a0AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS<\/em>\u00a0revved up a breakthrough, gathering over 100 million streams and properly introducing widespread audiences to\u00a0BILMURI<\/strong>‘s signature sound. And this talented creative, aka Johnny Franck, knew he had to come out swinging for the follow-up: enter 2026’s\u00a0KINDA HARD<\/em>\u00a0where the guitars chug harder, the melodies stick around longer, the lyrics cut deeper, and everything is a lot more\u00a0Muri….<\/p>\n

Via his uncanny hybrid of alternative rock hooks, heavy metal riffs, emo introspection and countrified charisma, BILMURI<\/strong> now boasts over 418 million streams, a staunchly dedicated and ever-evolving global fanbase, and he continues to wow on stages around the world. Following his debut Australian national tour in 2026, BILMURI<\/strong> will return to electrify Aussie festival-goers this year at Good Things.<\/div>\n

MINISTRY<\/strong><\/span>
\n‘FAREWELL AUSTRALIA’<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY 8 DECEMBER – LIBERTY HALL, SYDNEY
\nTHURSDAY 10 DECEMBER – HINDLEY STREET MUSIC HALL, ADELAIDE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Attention planet Earth: MINISTRY\u00a0<\/strong>visionary Al Jourgensen is leaving the building.<\/p>\n

With a history built upon 17 studio albums, 8 live releases, 8 side projects, multiple touring campaigns across 5 continents, an autobiography, 2 documentaries, the administration of last rites no less than 3 times, and the countless numbers of devoted acolytes and fans, the aural and charismatic magus of MINISTRY\u00a0<\/strong>is boarding up the door in his psychic studio for the final time.<\/p>\n

Pioneering electronic synth pop coated with abrasive industrial metal terrain, Chicago-hailing heavies MINISTRY<\/strong> defined the industrial world in the mid-to-late 80s with thrashing percussion and neon-soaked distortion, fearlessly helmed by Jourgensen. Poised to release album #17 this October, the band\u2019s upcoming record Hate to Go \u2013 Take Out or Delivery<\/em> will join some of their commercial juggernaut records like 1989\u2019s The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste <\/em>and 1992\u2019s GRAMMY Award-nominated and platinum-certified Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With their 2026 Good Things Festival appearances also marking their final Australian performances, don\u2019t miss your chance to farewell MINISTRY <\/strong>with a send-off like no other.<\/div>\n

P.O.D.<\/strong>
\nWITH SPECIAL GUESTS OCEAN GROVE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SUNDAY 29 NOVEMBER – THE TRIFFID, BRISBANE
\nWEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – 170 RUSSELL, MELBOURNE
\nTUESDAY 1 DECEMBER – THE GOV, ADELAIDE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been a band \u2014 and a vital one at that \u2014 for more than 30 years. But ask rock icons P.O.D<\/strong>. what still inspires them after all this time, and they\u2019ll tell you they still operate as if they\u2019re perpetual underdogs. Yes, with every new album they release, with every show they play, these musical lifers still feel they have something to prove. \u201cWe\u2019re still here and we\u2019re still creating some of the best music we\u2019ve ever made,\u201d <\/em>says guitarist Marcos Curiel. \u201cWhen it comes to heart, grit and soul, P.O.D. is your band.\u201d <\/em>Adds vocalist Sonny Sandoval: \u201cWe\u2019re always still proving who we are \u2014 always having that punk-rock mentality.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

American nu metal pioneers P.O.D.<\/strong> have spent decades crafting their unique sound, bolstered by heavy riffs lined with hip hop, reggae and rap rock. Balancing aggressive sounds with uplifting themes, P.O.D.<\/strong>\u2019s commercial appeal has seen them tour the globe time and time again, including their most recent Australian appearances back in 2018, while also unleashing era-defining singles like Youth of the Nation<\/em>, Boom <\/em>and Alive<\/em>, sell over 12 million records worldwide and appear on high profile movie soundtracks including The Matrix Reloaded<\/em>, Little Nicky<\/em>, Any Given Sunday <\/em>and many more.<\/p>\n

An eclectic trio of misfits spawning from Melbourne, Australia,\u00a0OCEAN GROVE<\/strong>\u00a0have rapidly transcended into a global phenomenon, helmed by inventive thinking and staggering creativity that transcends definitions and defies musical norms. Merging nu metal, hardcore and alternative rock into their signature sound, aka Oddworld Music,\u00a0OCEAN GROVE<\/strong>‘s influences span Korn, N.E.R.D, Faith No More and beyond, ultimately delivering an unforgettable sonic experience that is equally visceral and thought-provoking.<\/div>\n

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA<\/strong><\/span>
\nWITH SPECIAL GUESTS FUTURE PALACE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – LION ARTS FACTORY, ADELAIDE
\nTUESDAY 8 DECEMBER – THE TRIFFID, BRISBANE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nTHE DEVIL WEARS PRADA<\/strong>\u00a0have always explored life\u2019s extremes in their music. They\u2019ve never shied away from staring down darkness, dealing with depression, making sense of confusion, soothing anxiety, or grappling with faith, existence, and death. At the same time, they\u2019ve mirrored life\u2019s ups and downs by alternating between crushing heaviness and heart-wrenching melodies. After over two decades of making music, their union as bandmates\u2014but more importantly as friends\u2014is stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA<\/strong> most recently showcased their powerful bond as bandmates and creatives with their 2025 critically-acclaimed album Flowers<\/em>, expanding into their most honest and heartfelt iteration to date, and seamlessly adding to their hallowed fan-favourites like Danger: Wildman<\/em>, Hey John<\/em>, What\u2019s Your Name Again?<\/em> and Dez Moines<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With emotional intensity and expansive soundscapes, Germany alt metal act FUTURE PALACE<\/strong> have been traversing the avenues of post hardcore, metal, electronica and synth pop since forming in 2018. From the vocal acrobatics of Maria Lessing through to their bewitching sonic output, FUTURE PALACE <\/strong>also just unleashed their fourth studio album Resurgence<\/em>, retaining their crown as one of the biggest rising acts in modern metal.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, FUTURE PALACE<\/strong>\u00a0have built a reputation as an exceptional live band. They have performed at some of Europe’s biggest festivals, including Wacken Open Air, Graspop Metal Meeting, Hellfest and Rock am Ring, while also completing their first successful North American tour. Their headline shows continue to grow in size, with many dates selling out across Europe as their fanbase expands worldwide.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
ALL THEM WITCHES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER – LION ARTS FACTORY, ADELAIDE
\nWEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – CORNER HOTEL, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find ALL THEM WITCHES<\/strong>\u00a0on the outskirts. This collective of creative outliers have never followed a pre-trodden path or comfortably fit into an existing scene or style. Instead, the band resides at an elusive crossroads where clouds of slow-burning meditative distortion soak up strains of stratospheric psychedelia, out-of-body blues, and thundering no-frills hard rock.<\/p>\n

Ticking off their debut Australian performances earlier this year, Nashville-hailing ALL THEM WITCHES<\/strong>\u00a0first materialised in Nashville, TN, in 2012 and their organic progression was evident in fan-favorite releases, including Our Mother Electricity<\/em>\u00a0(2012), Lightning at the Door<\/em>\u00a0(2013), Dying Surfer Meets His Maker<\/em>\u00a0(2015), Sleeping Through the War<\/em>\u00a0(2017), and ATW<\/em>\u00a0(2018). They reached a critical high watermark on Nothing as the Ideal<\/em>\u00a0(2020), and earlier this year they harnessed the power of their unbreakable union as collaborators and friends on their seventh full-length LP\u00a0House Of Mirrors<\/em>.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
KAMI KEHOE\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – OXFORD ART FACTORY, SYDNEY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KAMI KEHOE <\/strong>has spent nearly her entire life making music, but she\u2019s finally reached a point where she\u2019s able to make it without boundaries. Following the viral breakout of SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD<\/em> and her acclaimed debut, REVIVED<\/em>,\u00a0KEHOE<\/strong> has become one of hard rock’s most exciting names: earning heavy support from SiriusXM Octane, touring with Daughtry, Seether, P.O.D. and Breaking Benjamin, appearing at Louder Than Life, Warped Tour and Shiprocked, being named an Artist to Watch by Pandora, and having been featured in Billboard.<\/p>\n

No longer interested in choosing between the different sounds she grew up loving, KEHOE\u00a0<\/strong>spent the past two years embracing them all, laying the foundation for her new LP LOVE IS A WEAPON<\/em>: a genre-bending collection that expands her sound in every direction, blending dark pop, alternative, punk, metal, R&B and electronic into something uniquely her own.<\/div>\n

\nWEDNESDAY 9 DECEMBER – CORNER HOTEL, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KAMI KEHOE <\/strong>has spent nearly her entire life making music, but she\u2019s finally reached a point where she\u2019s able to make it without boundaries. Following the viral breakout of SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD<\/em> and her acclaimed debut, REVIVED<\/em>,\u00a0KEHOE<\/strong> has become one of hard rock’s most exciting names: earning heavy support from SiriusXM Octane, touring with Daughtry, Seether, P.O.D. and Breaking Benjamin, appearing at Louder Than Life, Warped Tour and Shiprocked, being named an Artist to Watch by Pandora, and having been featured in Billboard.<\/p>\n

Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based rising pop punk star L\u00d8L\u00d8<\/strong>\u2019s journey started long before she became the\u00a0 fully formed pop rock force we now know today, gracing the stage with her hard hitting passion and tour de force performance energy. As a child rifling through her eclectic and extensive CD collection including everything from the Wizard of Oz soundtrack, to Hilary Duff, to Green Day, she learned how to play Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)<\/em> and never put the guitar down from that point on. Emerging in 2018, she attracted a rabid fan base with heart-on-her-sleeve lyrics and hard-hitting melodies spiked with a pop rock spirit.<\/p>\n

L\u00d8L\u00d8 <\/strong>has since toured with everyone from Boys Like Girls to New Found Glory and Against The Current, collaborated with Simple Plan, and has performed at Lollapalooza, Sad Summer Festival, and Slam Dunk Festival. Along the way, she has released two full-length albums, including her most recent record, 2026’s acclaimed\u00a0god forbid a girl spit out her feelings.\u00a0Good Things Festival will also mark L\u00d8L\u00d8<\/strong>\u2019s debut Australian performances later this year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nWEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER – THE ESPY, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nSeattle-based quartet THE HOME TEAM<\/strong> will add some heavy pop vibes to the Good Things vibes this December, brandishing their mix of traditional pop punk and metal, lined with R&B, funk, jazz and straight up pop stylings that saw them score a 4\/5 from Kerrang!<\/em>\u00a0for their 2024 album The Crucible of Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The band has gone to great lengths to be creatively genuine with their audience, which has rewarded them many times over with an extremely dedicated and passionate fan base. Having shared stages with bands such as The Used, Don Broco, Senses Fail, and Real Friends over the years,\u00a0THE HOME TEAM<\/strong>\u00a0uses unique production to bring their electrifying performance to life; and Aussie fans will be soaking in the spectacle later this year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

HOUSE OF PROTECTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY 9 DECEMBER – THE BRIGHTSIDE (OUTDOORS), BRISBANE
\nTHURSDAY 10 DECEMBER – HOWLER, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nRaw, hard-hitting, avant-garde and leading the charge for a new era of art-rock intensity, Los Angeles duo HOUSE OF PROTECTION<\/strong> balance confidence and chaos, bringing together Stephen Harrison (The Chariot) and Aric Improta (Night Verses) for a collision of post hardcore pedigree and boundless sonic experimentation that has seen them open for Poppy, Bad Omens and, most recently, Architects nationally for their 2025 Australian run.<\/p>\n

Lauded by the likes of NME, The Guardian, and Revolver, and named a Spotify Artist to Watch for 2025, HOUSE OF PROTECTION<\/strong>\u00a0has ignited a new era of art-rock intensity, with the confidence and chaos of a band redefining what LA\u2019s heavy scene sounds and feels like in 2026.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
IVRI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER – THE ESPY, MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Florida-born artist IVRI\u00a0<\/strong>builds the world she sings from\u2014one shaped by D.I.Y. alternative, intense pop, shoegaze, rock, and sci-fi soul. Her emotionally raw writing and genre-blurring sound have earned billions of views, hundreds of millions of streams, and early praise from outlets like OnesToWatch.<\/p>\n

Her breakout moment came when SadBoyProlific sampled her vocals on Alone<\/em> and went viral, opening the door to a wave of collaborations and her own rising catalog. In 2025, she delivered her defining moment with tower of memories<\/em>, a global phenomenon with nearly 4.5B+ video creations and chart-topping success across TikTok and SoundCloud. It paved the way for her acclaimed 2025 project, the theory of you<\/em>, and in 2026 IVRI\u00a0<\/strong>turned the page on her next chapter with the arrival of her latest EP evidence of you<\/em>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Released in 2016, Fever Daydream<\/em> defied easy categorization. Blending electronic experimentation with cinematic synth textures, industrial undercurrents, post-punk atmosphere, deeply emotive songwriting, and razor-sharp production, the album carved out a space entirely its own. Over the past decade, its reputation has continued to grow, finding new audiences while remaining a touchstone for listeners drawn to music that values atmosphere, emotional vulnerability and sonic ambition in equal measure.<\/p>\n

After astounding Australian fans back in 2019, heightened power synth pop group THE BLACK QUEEN<\/strong> will return later this year armed lashings of 80s production with glossy and emotional depth this December; prepare for shadows, synths and sweat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\nThe vision of vianova <\/strong>came to life when the brothers Felix and Paul Vogelgesang decided to move to Berlin in 2014. Driven by the desire to create music and evoke emotions, they aspired to write nothing but authentic and energetic metal songs. Between 2015 and 2019 the formation released a five-track EP and two singles, played an array of shows throughout Germany and managed to handle a couple of line-up changes. During the 2020 pandemic, the band reinvented themselves both visually and musically, and in 2024 vianova <\/strong>signed with label powerhouse Arising Empire.<\/p>\n

Now a meeting point between metalcore, elasticated 80s vibes, jazz, R&B and rap, vianova <\/strong>straddle hard-hitting immersion with a fearless pursuit of genre fusion. With over 19.1 million streams across their catalogue to date and counting, vianova<\/strong>\u2019s viral trajectory has led to them enamouring TikTok and sharing stages with Thornhill, ERRA, Chamber and many more.<\/div>\n
