FALL OUT BOY: Leading the Parade
Heading the 2023 line-up is the American sensation, FALL OUT BOY. Their journey from Myspace legends to one of the rock’s paramount bands is nothing short of legendary. Their recent album, “So Much (For) Stardust,” reinforces their consistent brilliance. When FALL OUT BOY hits the stage, expect an electrifying mix of nostalgia and contemporary genius.
From LIMP BIZKIT’s Nu Metal Dominance to DEVO’s Farewell
Florida’s LIMP BIZKIT brings their timeless nu metal energy, ensuring fans, whether new or long-standing, are in for a treat. Meanwhile, DEVO’s appearance marks a bittersweet milestone. The band, renowned for blending rock and electronic, will grace the Good Things Festival stage for their last-ever Australian performances.
A Star-Studded Line-up
The musical variety is vast:
- Post-hardcore magicians, I PREVAIL, promise an atmospheric performance.
- The mighty BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE is set to unleash their distinctive heavy metal energy.
- COREY TAYLOR, the voice behind Slipknot, will showcase his solo genius.
- Punk icons PENNYWISE and SPIDERBAIT represent the genre’s best.
- Australia’s SLOWLY SLOWLY and indie heavyweights like ENTER SHIKARI and TAKING BACK SUNDAY ensure an eclectic mix for festival-goers.
Celebrating Australian Music Icons
It wouldn’t be a true Australian fest without the likes of ESKIMO JOE and JEBEDIAH, bands that defined the Aussie rock scene in their prime. The festival also brings punk rock mischief with FRENZAL RHOMB and the energetic sounds of SHORT STACK and BOOM CRASH OPERA. And let’s not forget the powerful performances we can anticipate from LUCA BRASI, MAKE THEM SUFFER, BLOOM, and TAPESTRY.
A Metalcore Extravaganza and Beyond
Fans of metalcore are in for a treat. From Japan’s HANABIE to Ohio’s THE PLOT IN YOU and Australia’s OCEAN SLEEPER, the genre gets a significant nod. Russian sensations SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL promise a mosh pit experience like no other.
Upcoming Sensations to Watch
Florida’s MAGNOLIA PARK and solo star ROYAL & THE SERPENT highlight the future of music. Moreover, Sydney’s STAND ATLANTIC is all set to surprise fans with fresh tunes.
