Good Things 2024 Festival Line-Up: Korn, Sum 41, and Violent Femmes to Ignite Australia’s Summer
Australia’s premier alternative music festival, Good Things, is back in 2024 with a lineup that’s set to ignite the summer and rock the East Coast. If you’re a fan of metal, punk, emo, or rock, this year’s edition is one you absolutely can’t miss. The festival, known for its eclectic mix of both international icons and local legends, will be making its much-anticipated return to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this December.
Headlining this year’s event is none other than the legendary Californian nu-metal band, Korn. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut self-titled album, Korn is set to deliver a performance that will blend nostalgic hits like "Freak on a Leash" with newer tracks, showcasing their evolving sound that has kept fans hooked for decades. Korn's presence at Good Things 2024 marks their first Australian appearance since 2018, and they’re sure to remind everyone why they’ve been a dominant force in the metal scene for three decades.
Joining Korn on the lineup is Canadian pop-punk sensation Sum 41. This performance will be particularly special as it marks the band’s final tour before disbanding. Sum 41 has been a staple in the pop-punk world since their 2001 breakthrough album All Killer, No Filler , which featured hits like "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep". Frontman Deryck Whibley has expressed that this farewell tour is all about celebrating the band’s legacy, promising fans that their last show on Australian soil will be one for the history books.

Another major highlight of the festival is the iconic Violent Femmes, the indie rock trailblazers who first captured the world’s attention in the 1980s with their unique blend of folk-punk. Their timeless anthem, "Blister in the Sun," is set to resonate through the crowd, offering a trip down memory lane for long-time fans and an unforgettable experience for new ones.
The festival doesn’t stop there. German metalcore juggernaut Electric Callboy is ready to electrify the crowd with their infectious energy, bringing viral hits like "Hypa Hypa" to the stage. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will also make an appearance, performing a mix of his solo work and classic tracks from his band’s illustrious career.
Local acts are well-represented too, with Melbourne rockers Jet, best known for their hits "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Rollover DJ," making a return to the stage. They’ll be joined by The Living End, one of Australia’s most revered live bands, as well as Killing Heidi, who will perform their iconic debut album Reflector in its entirety.
In addition to the music, Good Things 2024 will feature carnival-style stunts and acts at STAGE 666, adding a thrilling and unpredictable element to the festival experience.
The festival kicks off on December 6th in Melbourne at Flemington Racecourse, moves to Centennial Park in Sydney on December 7th, and wraps up at Brisbane Showgrounds on December 8th. With tickets going on sale on August 29th, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their spot at what promises to be one of the most memorable festivals of the year.
