By William On Dec 3, 2022

The Sydneysiders have turned up in droves, and in some very unusual outfits, for a music festival celebrating rock, grunge, metal and all things punk.

The Good Things Festival kicked off Saturday in Centennial Park in the city’s eastern suburbs, with thousands taking the opportunity to don some of its wildest gear.

Melbournes had already enjoyed a day at the festival on Friday, and Queenslanders were able to catch the show in Brisbane on Sunday.

Headline acts include British rock band Bring Me the Horizon, Australian metal group The Amity Affliction, Melbourne group Kisschasy, and American metal band Deftones.

The festival is 18+ only in Sydney, while in Brisbane the minimum age is 15, and the event draws huge crowds of alternative music-loving fans.

Black seemed to be the most popular color for the occasion, and most of the revelers dressed in their dirtiest clothes.

Some had made their own outfits, while others chose to wear as little as possible to the festival.

Good Things has only been around since 2018 and due to Covid the show had to be canceled during 2020 and 2021.

Just two years into the event, fans were desperate for tickets with the Melbourne leg of the festival sold out.

Some other household names in the event’s lineup over the years include The Veronicas, Simple Plan, The Offspring, and Violent Soho.

The Sydney leg of the festival was 18+, while in Brisbane and Melbourne the minimum age was 15.

Saturday marked a glorious day for festival goers with clear skies and temperatures reaching a balmy 23°C in Sydney.

Queenslanders heading to Good Things are in for an equally hot and sunny day on Sunday with a high of 25°C.

The festival comes a week after Canberra hosted the popular music event Spilled Milk.

But with thousands in attendance, festival-goers have been warned to watch for any symptoms of meningococcus, after a reveler ended up in hospital with the disease.

Common symptoms of the disease include sudden onset fever, headaches, stiff neck, joint pain, a red/purple spot or bruise like rash, irritability in bright light, nausea, and vomiting.
