As the countdown begins for Good Things Festival 2025, speculation is running wild across the Aussie heavy music scene. With Melbourne locked in for December 5, Sydney on December 6, and Brisbane on December 7, fans are already buzzing with theories, leaks, and dream headliners. And here at Metal on Tap, Jai and Drew are diving headfirst into the madness with our ultimate Good Things Festival line-up prediction video!
This year’s rumour mill is hotter than ever. Could Linkin Park make a long-awaited return to Australia with a new vocalist? Are System of a Down finally heading back Down Under after years of silence? What about a Creed reunion, or even a pop-punk twist with Avril Lavigne? We cover it all — from the most realistic possibilities to the wildest what-ifs!
But it’s not just about the headliners. Good Things Festival 2025 is known for blending genres and generations, and this year could deliver its most diverse line-up yet. We dig into potential appearances by heavy hitters like Machine Head, Architects, Anthrax, and DragonForce — the kind of bands that could tear up festival stages and bring serious energy to the line-up.
Then we look closer to home. Could 2025 finally be the year we see Aussie legends like Karnivool, Wolfmother, or even Rose Tattoo added to the bill? And with the rise of modern metal and deathcore, there’s huge potential for acts like Fit For An Autopsy, Shadow of Intent, or Alien Weaponry to make their mark at Good Things Festival 2025.
We also highlight the names climbing fast in the scene – bands like Beast In Black, Knosis, and New Found Glory — all potential candidates to round out an absolutely stacked lineup.
This episode isn’t just a wishlist — it’s an educated guess based on Good Things Festival’s past lineups, current tour schedules, and the bands making serious noise in 2025 and beyond. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the breakdowns, or something in between, our predictions will get you hyped for what could be the biggest Good Things Festival yet.
