US Artists Cancel Good Things Festival: 'Beyond Our Control'

Eight days out from Good Things Festival igniting mosh pits across the East Coast of Australia, event organisers have announced that the US electronic duo 3OH!3 and emo rap sensation Jxdn will no longer perform at the festival "due to circumstances beyond our control."

It's not all bad news, however, as Melbourne nu-metal band Ocean Grove and Adelaide Unearthed favourites and SAM Award winners Teenage Joans have been added to the line-up. 

Today's announcement follows the recent additions of You Am I, Japanese metalcore act Paledusk, Melbourne cinematic metal band The Gloom In The Corner, Perth-raised alternative rockers Those Who Dream, and Sydney deathcore band To The Grave, who will only appear at the Melbourne and Brisbane Good Things dates.

Good Things Festival has also unveiled updated timetables and maps to allow punters to begin planning their day; look below.

As previously noted, Good Things 2022 is headlined by Bring Me The Horizon, who will play a 75-minute set on all dates. The bands closest to them on the bill - Deftones, NOFX, TISM, Gojira, and Regurgitator will perform for an hour. The remainder of the acts have 30 to 45-minute sets allocated to them.  

There will be five stages at Melbourne's Flemington Showgrounds, Sydney's Centennial Park, and Brisbane Showgrounds. The festival will end at approximately 9:45 pm in all states, which gives punters enough time to head to the official after-parties at Stay Gold in Melbourne, the Burdekin Hotel in Sydney, and The Brightside in Brisbane. The good (things) vibes will go on all night.  

In addition to the epic festival, Destroy All Lines has announced an abundance of headline sideshows, including:

Deftones will play one sideshow at Adelaide's Thebarton Theatre on Wednesday, 30 November. 

Gojira and special guests Lacuna Coil will hit Sydney's Roundhouse on Tuesday, 29 November, the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Thursday, 1 December, and Eaton's Hill Hotel in Brisbane on Tuesday, 6 December.

Swedish skate punks Millencolin are in Melbourne on Wednesday, 30 November, at 170 Russell and The Tivoli in Brisbane on Monday, 5 December. 

The savage Soulfly will feature Fear Factory's Dino Cazares as a special guest - you won't want to miss out on the shows on Thursday, 1 December, at Melbourne's Croxton Bandroom and Manning Bar, Sydney on Tuesday, 6 December.

Emo/pop-punk icons Sleeping With Sirens are bringing Melbourne's The Beautiful Monument and Bad/Love along for three side shows at The Gov, Adelaide, on Wednesday, 30 November, Max Watt's in Melbourne on Thursday, 1 December, and The Triffid in Brisbane on Tuesday, 6 December.
