Rolling Coverage: Good Things Fest 2022 Confirms, Clues, Predictions and more…
With the return of international guests to Australia, it’s time to look toward the end of the year at the return of Good Things Festival and the stack of guests who will be embarking on the maiden trip up the East Coast for an epic three days of fun, frothies and throwdowns…
On the big return, organisers say:
It’s been a long wait for fans to revel in some of the best international and local acts from the lands of rock, metal, punk, emo and beyond. But, as they say, good things come to those who wait, and the 2022 edition, following on from 2019’s triumphant event, has made good use of the time cultivating an incredible line-up of acts that will make any alternative loving fan weak at the knees.

What about Mastodon or/and Gojira?
Is slipknot not to big to headline?
Not when you look at the past headliners – they could come back hard (especially since we missed that Sliptallica tour) or I could be wrong!
