Limp Bizkit to Headline Australia’s Good Things Festival 2026

Limp Bizkit will headline the 2026 edition of Good Things Festival, the Australian travelling heavy-music event announced Tuesday (Aug. 11), atop a bill of more than 30 acts across nu-metal, pop-punk, metalcore and hardcore.

The lineup also features Simple Plan, Spiritbox, Polaris, The All-American Rejects, Bad Religion, Alexisonfire, Grinspoon, Millencolin, Ministry, MxPx, Neck Deep, P.O.D. and The Devil Wears Prada. The festival runs Dec. 4 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Dec. 5 at Sydney Showground and Dec. 6 at Brisbane Showgrounds, with all dates 16-and-over. Presale tickets go on sale Aug. 18.

Limp Bizkit headline after appearing at the 2023 festival and playing sold-out sideshows. Formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1994 and fronted by Fred Durst, the band’s 1999 album Significant Other debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, earned two Grammy nominations and was certified seven-times platinum on the strength of “Nookie” and “Break Stuff.”

Its 2000 follow-up Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water also debuted at No. 1, opening with more than one million U.S. copies — at the time a record for the fastest-selling rock album of the SoundScan era. The band has sold more than 40 million records worldwide.

Elsewhere on the bill, Spiritbox’s 2021 debut Eternal Blue reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200, and its 2025 follow-up Tsunami Sea hit No. 26 while topping the U.K. Independent Albums chart; the Canadian band has earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance. Simple Plan return for the first time since the 2019 festival, while Australian metalcore band Polaris topped the ARIA Albums Chart with 2023’s Fatalism.

Several acts are marking milestones. Alexisonfire will play their 2006 album Crisis in full for its 20th anniversary, Millencolin will perform 2000’s Pennybridge Pioneers in full, and Bad Religion mark their 45th year. Ministry’s dates have been billed as the industrial band’s final Australian shows. Grinspoon also feature, weeks after frontman Phil Jamieson cancelled a solo tour following a fractured vertebra, alongside a card that includes Speed, Slowly Slowly, Neck Deep, MxPx, Bilmuri and Voice of Baceprot.
