KORN, Sum 41 and Violent Femmes head up the line-up of this year’s Good Things Festival, to be held across the first weekend of December in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of their game-changing debut album, Korn will headline the event with Sum 41 making the festival as part of their final world tour.

The legendary Violent Femmes also fill out the top of the card, crowning a diverse bill that also includes Billy Corgan, Mastodon, Kerry King, Electric Callboy, Northlane, Jet, The Living End, L7, The Gaslight Anthem, Bowling for Soup, 311, Alpha Wolf, The Butterfly Effect and Sleeping With Sirens.

Nineties rockers Killing Heidi are also appearing, performing Reflector in full.

Loathe, Frank Carter, Destroy Boys, Reliqa, From Ashes to New, Grandson, Highly Suspect, Taylor Acorn and Aviva are also part of the show, with a special appearance by Dragon, for some reason. Importantly, the Sydney event will be a 16+ show this year, with Melbourne and Brisbane 15+.
