For most of us who grew up during the 90s and early 2000s, there’s nothing more nostalgic than popping that long-forgotten All-American Rejects CD back into our dusty car CD player and head-banging to Gives You Hell.
But now, that nostalgia can transcend you beat-up ride for the festival grounds at this year’s Good Things. If you’re living on the East Coast, this is the time to lock in. The Good Things 2026 lineup has just dropped and it’s pretty stacked with all your pop-punk and nu metal favourites.
