Australia's Good Things Festival is a touring rock and metal event that returns each December, moving through Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. For its 2026 run, organisers have confirmed nu-metal band Limp Bizkit as the headline act, joined by a lineup of more than thirty other acts spanning different rock and metal styles. The shows are for audiences aged 16 and over, with presale tickets due to open in mid-August.
Limp Bizkit rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s as part of the nu-metal movement, blending rock, hip-hop and electronic influences, and remain known for that era's commercial success. Alongside them, the wider Good Things bill includes acts from various points in rock and metal history, some of whom are using their festival slots to mark milestones such as anniversary album shows or farewell tours.
The announcement matters chiefly to fans of rock and metal music in Australia, as well as to the touring and live music industry, since festival lineups like this reflect broader trends in which genres are drawing large audiences and ticket sales at present.
