Transmission Update…The Good Things Festival 2026 Sideshows Are Here!

Now nine albums in, with thousands of shows and a lineup that has survived and thrived the entire time, MILLENCOLIN have 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 SOS which saw them stretch into new sonic and lyrical territory, praised by The AU Review for “its punchy punk rock beat, mixed with the relatable and at times cheeky lyrics the band have produced in the past”.

MILLENCOLIN 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 will perform their groundbreaking and platinum-certified 2000 album Pennybridge Pioneers in full at the festival this December.

2024’s AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS revved up a breakthrough, gathering over 100 million streams and properly introducing widespread audiences to BILMURI‘s signature sound. And this talented creative, aka Johnny Franck, knew he had to come out swinging for the follow-up: enter 2026’s KINDA HARD where the guitars chug harder, the melodies stick around longer, the lyrics cut deeper, and everything is a lot more Muri….

Via his uncanny hybrid of alternative rock hooks, heavy metal riffs, emo introspection and countrified charisma, BILMURI 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 will return to electrify Aussie festival-goers this year at Good Things.

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 is boarding up the door in his psychic studio for the final time.

Pioneering electronic synth pop coated with abrasive industrial metal terrain, Chicago-hailing heavies MINISTRY 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’s upcoming record Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery will join some of their commercial juggernaut records like 1989’s The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste and 1992’s GRAMMY Award-nominated and platinum-certified Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs.

With their 2026 Good Things Festival appearances also marking their final Australian performances, don’t miss your chance to farewell MINISTRY with a send-off like no other.

American nu metal pioneers P.O.D. 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.’s 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, Boom and Alive, sell over 12 million records worldwide and appear on high profile movie soundtracks including The Matrix Reloaded, Little Nicky, Any Given Sunday and many more.

An eclectic trio of misfits spawning from Melbourne, Australia, OCEAN GROVE have 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, OCEAN GROVE‘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.

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

With emotional intensity and expansive soundscapes, Germany alt metal act FUTURE PALACE 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 also just unleashed their fourth studio album Resurgence, retaining their crown as one of the biggest rising acts in modern metal.

Over the past few years, FUTURE PALACE have 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.

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

No longer interested in choosing between the different sounds she grew up loving, KEHOE spent the past two years embracing them all, laying the foundation for her new LP LOVE IS A WEAPON: 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.

Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based rising pop punk star LØLØ’s journey started long before she became the  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) 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.

LØLØ 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 god forbid a girl spit out her feelings. Good Things Festival will also mark LØLØ’s debut Australian performances later this year.

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, THE HOME TEAM uses unique production to bring their electrifying performance to life; and Aussie fans will be soaking in the spectacle later this year.

Lauded by the likes of NME, The Guardian, and Revolver, and named a Spotify Artist to Watch for 2025, HOUSE OF PROTECTION has ignited a new era of art-rock intensity, with the confidence and chaos of a band redefining what LA’s heavy scene sounds and feels like in 2026.

Her breakout moment came when SadBoyProlific sampled her vocals on Alone 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, 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, and in 2026 IVRI turned the page on her next chapter with the arrival of her latest EP evidence of you.

Released in 2016, Fever Daydream 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.

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

Hailing from an area without much of a built-in scene, LOCKED SHUT have been putting it together themselves, booking shows and buolding it as they go. Revered for their relentless energy, blisteringly fast runtimes and barbed-wire grooves, LOCKED SHUT are the breakneck band of your dreams for anyone who loves hardcore music that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Come for the intensity, stay for the unpredictable pandemonium.
