Australia’s major rock and alternative festival, Good Things, is returning in December 2025 with a massive lineup, three major cities, and plenty of reasons to go hands-free. Whether you’re heading to Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, this year’s edition promises big names, big crowds and big fun.
🎤 The Line-Up & Cities
The festival takes place across three cities:
- Friday 5 December at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne.
- Saturday 6 December at Sydney Showground, Sydney.
- Sunday 7 December at Brisbane Showgrounds, Brisbane.
Headliners include Tool and Weezer — two massive names in rock. Other acts include Garbage, All Time Low, The All-American Rejects, plus hardcore and metal acts like Machine Head and Knocked Loose.
🚉 Getting There & Venue Info
Melbourne – Flemington Racecourse
Flemington is well-connected via train and tram from Melbourne’s city centre. Allow extra time for crowds, and arriving via public transport is strongly recommended.
Sydney – Sydney Showground
The organisers encourage using public transport here, and tickets often include train travel to the venue. Buses and train services will be busy, so plan ahead and travel light.
Brisbane – Brisbane Showgrounds
Easily accessible via train and bus from Brisbane’s city centre. As with all three cities, expect heavy traffic and delays if driving — public transport is the smart move.
🎒 Why Stasher Makes a Difference
At festivals like this, you’ll face long queues, large crowds, and limited movement. Having to manage a suitcase or big bag can slow you down or stop you from fully enjoying the moment. That’s where Stasher comes in: storing your bags before the big day means you’re free to move, dance, browse merch, meet friends, and just have fun without being overloaded.
- Drop your bag early at a nearby Stasher location, then head into the festival unburdened.
- Explore the surrounding city on your arrival day without the suitcase — maybe grab a coffee in Melbourne, visit Sydney’s nightlife scene before the show, or enjoy brunch in Brisbane.
- Feel secure: Stasher points are insured and vetted — you don’t have to stress about leaving your gear in an alley or car park.
- Make transport easier: Trams, trains and buses are faster when you’re bag-free. It means less waiting, quicker transfer and more time for bands.

🧭 City-by-City Highlights
Melbourne
Arrive early if you can. Check out the city’s famous live-music bars before heading to Flemington Racecourse for the festival. With Tool and Weezer headlining, you’re looking at a huge crowd and a top-tier live experience.
Sydney
At Sydney Showground, with improved capacity and transport links, this venue is designed for efficiency. After storing your bags, you might wander around the nearby inner-west precincts or grab dinner before the show — then head in with nothing holding you back.
Brisbane
Brisbane Showgrounds tends to have a slightly more relaxed vibe compared to the other two cities. With the same headline acts but a little more breathing space, you could arrive early, store your bags, enjoy the festival atmosphere, and maybe stay for a post-show drink nearby.
📌 Final Preparation for Good Things 2025
- Secure tickets and transport early: Check rail, tram and bus options ahead of time, especially into Sydney’s Showground, where public transport is busiest.
- Arrive early: Getting your gear stored and settled before the headliners hit the stage makes for a smoother experience.
- Stay hydrated and bag-light: Festivals are long days — with Stasher you’ll have fewer burdens and more energy.
- Plan logistics: Know where you stored your bag, how you’ll leave afterwards, and when your last train, bus or ride share departs.
- Enjoy the line-up: With names like Tool, Weezer and Garbage, plus a diverse supporting cast, Good Things Festival 2025 is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet.
