GOOD THINGS FESTIVAL 2025 have released an update for the DATES & VENUES to be performed. the festival season will start on FRIDAY the 5th DECEMBER at FLEMINGTON RACECOURSE, mELBOURNE; before continuing SATURDAY the 6th of DECEMBER at the updated venue of the SYDNEY SHOWGROUND, SYDNEY; finishing off on SUNDAY the 7th of DECEMBER, BRISBANE SHOWGROUNDS, BRISBANE.
"For Sydney, 2025 will see the Good Things experience levelled up across the board, with the Sydney Showground venue boasting a bigger capacity, more shelter and existing facilities, and is a much more accessible-friendly venue for patrons. The venue will also mean better transport options and integrated transport, making your journey to and from Good Things Festival way easier so you can focus on the important things: the bands, the vibes and all the good things that come with this annual extravaganza."
Hopefully with the updated facilities in sydney this will mean a more "sound wave" style lineup with more stages added to the roster.
