The Good Things Festival is just days away, and the excitement is building as we count down with you.

Life can be unpredictable, and moments like these remind us just how important it is to come together, support one another, and cherish the experiences that connect us. Good Things Festival isn’t just about music, it’s about community. Over the years, you’ve become like family to us.

We rally together in the highs and stand together through the challenges, and this moment is no different, as unfortunately, we would like to share an important update that due to family emergencies The All-American Rejects and Knocked Loose will no longer be able to perform.

“We’re heartbroken to share that due to a sudden family loss, we won’t be able to make it to Australia as planned. This has been an incredibly difficult moment for us, and as much as it devastates us to miss such a great opportunity to reconnect with our Australian fans, family has to come first.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and all the love you continue to give this band. We’ll make it up to you as soon as we’re able.” – The All American Rejects

“We’re very sorry to everyone but we have to cancel our Australia trip, including the Good Things Festival and our headline shows around it.

Anyone familiar with this band knows we do not take cancelling shows lightly; but family will always come first. We are already planning our return and cannot wait to be back as soon as possible. Love you all.” – Knocked Loose

Critically acclaimed and resoundingly adored, Sydney’s Stand Atlantic and Aussie metalcore behemoths Alpha Wolf will join the line up.

Due to the extensive logistics involved with trucking, flights, accommodation, and stage production for these bands across three days, we’re unable to adjust the timetable. As a result, the newly added bands will fill the existing schedule slots.

“Our hearts are with The All-American Rejects – it’s never an easy decision to make no matter what the circumstances are. We are honoured, nervous, and ready to show up and do what we do best.” – Stand Atlantic

“Unfortunately, our friends in Knocked Loose are unable to play the Good Things Festival, we’re sending them all our love and we’re going to try our best to fill their shoes on super short notice. Catch us on the Main Stage at 3:30pm in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this weekend!” – Alpha Wolf

Our thoughts are with the band and their families during this time. We want to also acknowledge our fellow artists and colleagues who feel this absence alongside us.

While life can throw unexpected hurdles our way, the show will go on, and this weekend, we’ll come together as one community to create a great experience.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. We look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience for you all.

Brennan Heart, Dual Damage and Charly Lownoise lead the Dutch lineup for the “Netherlands Edition” – Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, Charlotte de Witte,
Holy Priest, Lilly Palmer, Scooter, Timmy Trumpet, Vini Vici and more kick off the international announcements.

The preparations for AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2026 are in full swing. The 23rd edition will take place from 8–12 July 2026 and will transport visitors to the “Netherlands”, home to countless DJ megastars and birth­place of the modern festival culture. Fittingly, the first artist announcement already features a strong Dutch contingent.

Fans can look forward to four heavyweight acts from the Dutch dance scene. Leading the charge is Brennan Heart, the undisputed Mister Hardstyle and one of the genre’s global icons. After his spectacular Mainstage set at the last edition—marking the first-ever Hardstyle performance on that stage—he will once again deliver the harder sounds in 2026. And of course, “Wonderful Days” needs no introduction: the legendary Happy Hardcore anthem by Dutch duo Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo. Charly Lownoise has practically become a Butterfly Stage resident, guaranteeing the most euphoric throwback journey of the weekend. The Dutch Hardstyle duos D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage complete the first Harder Stage announcement.

Techno has long since reclaimed Mainstages worldwide, and AIRBEAT ONE was one of the first festivals to showcase the genre at this scale. With Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte and Lilly Palmer, 2026 will bring three Techno queens to the Mainstage. Joining them are three major German Techno heavyweights: Alfred Heinrichs, Boris Brejcha and Holy Priest. Adding to the impact is Scooter—one of the most successful Techno acts of all time—returning to Neustadt-Glewe.

EDM remains an essential part of one of the world’s largest and most spectacular Mainstages. Australian superstar and Top 10 DJ Timmy Trumpet will bring his unmistakable energy to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Psytrance legends Vini Vici from Israel and Novah complete the first Mainstage announcement.

On the Arena Stage, fans can expect dark, driving sounds from German DJ Kobosil, along with cinematic hard techno from Nicolas Julian and Schrotthagen. The PsyTrance community can look forward to stars like Andrew Rayel and Slovakian DJane Nifra on the Second Stage.

A brand-new stage will debut in 2026: the Groove Castle. The first confirmed acts, Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi, will deliver vibrant house and groove sounds.

The Butterfly Stage will once again transform into a nostalgic sanctuary with Charly Lownoise, Aquagen, Cascada, DJ Gollum and DJ Quicksilver delivering unforgettable classics.

In total, the first 25 artists for the “Netherlands Edition” of AIRBEAT ONE Festival are now confirmed. Ticket sales are already in high demand. The 3-Day Regular Ticket – Full Weekend is currently available in presale phase 1 for €175.99 including fees via https://airbeat-one.myticket.de

AIRBEAT ONE is a subsidiary of DEAG Deutsche Entertainment AG. Exclusive ticket partner is myticket.de.

Halfmoon offers the perfect alternative with sunshine, sea views, incredible music and a global community of like-minded travellers.

With its unique two-day format and famously high definition and super sized production, all in an otherworldly island setting, Halfmoon Festival has long offered one of the most transportive dance music experiences in the world. Each edition kicks off at the stunning Harmony Beach Club where you ease in with beachside beats, fire dancers and exotic performers, making for plenty of daytime fun. There are pool parties and endless tropical cocktails to enjoy as the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand and leads into day two.

The second night then transforms the Magical Forest into a surreal nighttime playground. Surrounded by palms and jungle canopy, three custom-built stages – The Prime Stage, G Floor, and The Cave – are all curated with their own soundtrack and host everything from melodic techno and psychedelic trance to house, indie, hip-hop and experimental live sets.

HOSTED BY ELIZA HULL
FEATURING MATHILDE ANNE, R.EM.EDY AND COOPER SMITH

Continuing to redefine their status as one of the premier live music discovery platforms in the country, Live Nation’s ONES TO WATCH series today announces their final edition for 2025: 

an event held in Melbourne on Wednesday 26 November, to coincide with 

International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD) – observed on Wednesday 3 December.

Championing and celebrating incredible artists who have been breaking down barriers with their music, encouraging inclusivity and an industry shake-up that has long been needed to benefit those living with myriad disabilities, ONES TO WATCH is excited to bring a new roster of expertly curated talent to a room full of fans and industry professionals alike.

Working closely with award-winning songwriter, performer and activist ELIZA HULL, the ONES TO WATCH team is excited to present a lineup of artists who represent some beautiful creative corners of Australian music that are positioned to crest new waves of success in the near future.

The evening will be hosted by Eliza Hull, who will also close the night with a special performance – a poignant reminder of her own status as one of Australia’s best voices. A striking songwriter, Hull’s music has been embraced by Australian and international audiences alike in recent years, touring throughout Australia and the UK, delivering spellbinding performances to growing numbers of fans who have been instantly drawn to her natural gifts as a storyteller. 

With a new record due in 2026, Hull has remained busy across a number of different projects while not on tour, including international collaborations and exploring the fruits of a recently signed worldwide publishing deal with Sony Music, while led to an emotive reimagining of Silverchair’s ‘Tomorrow’ for Australian drama, Playing Gracie Darling.

In working with ONES TO WATCH to shape this November event, Hull has explained, “This is exactly what the industry needs right now – a night to celebrate and amplify the incredible artists with disability in this country. I’m incredibly grateful to Live Nation for stepping in and showcasing talent that is so often underrepresented. I’m super proud of the artists I’ve curated. As a musician with a disability myself I know firsthand that there are still barriers in the industry, but moments like this give me real hope for what’s ahead.”

Set to perform at this final ONES TO WATCH event for the year, Melbourne-based pop artist MATHILDE ANNE will captivate with her unique blend of pop and indie stylings. Making waves with her alt-pop debut album NORMAL in 2024, Mathilde has since risen prolifically within the local space; her music weaving through ethereal sounds and evocative songwriting, exploring themes of young adulthood, womanhood and living with neurodivergence. Mathilde has shared stages with the likes of Cub Sport, Telenova and more, and is looking ahead to a busy 2026 with the highly-anticipated release of her new EP, Cigarettes and Anxious Sex.

Joining her will be R&B/pop chameleon, R.EM.EDY, a fellow Melbourne-based artist who has been shifting boundaries in her effortless blend of genres and sonic influences. Ranging from R&B to soul, pop, hip-hop and dance music, r.em.edy has found a natural calling in music as a way for her to not only tell her own stories, but to be a vessel for inspiration and change. Advocating for fellow artists with disabilities including ADHD, Autism and POTS, re.me.dy has generated more than 5 million streams for her music, as well as a fiercely loyal fanbase around the country.

Completing this ONES TO WATCH lineup is talented Australian DJ, COOPER SMITH. Creating music and soundscapes that are instantly engaging as they are electrifying, Cooper’s success as a DJ has been driven by a spirit to create a new lane for himself in a scene already dominated with unique personalities. His commitment to breaking barriers has seen Cooper’s profile continue along a rapid, upward trajectory, with shows alongside the likes of Torren Foot, Airwolf Paradise; on the Australian Open Main Stage, and in renowned clubs including New Guernica and Revolver, cementing his status as a talent to keep an eye on.

Throughout 2025, the ONES TO WATCH music discovery series has delivered successful events right around Australia, bringing packed out events to venues in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Byron Bay. Providing a stage for Australian and international artists alike to captivate an audience of fans and influential industry players, in a unique and intimate setting, Live Nation’s ONES TO WATCH has become a globally renowned and respected pathway for artist exposure and support. 

Capping off another busy year with this final event in Melbourne, raising awareness for and celebrating International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD), ONES TO WATCH is keen to continue their support of up and coming artists who are changing the culture and game in Australian music.

“Collaborating with Eliza Hull on this Ones To Watch showcase to elevate these voices reinforces our shared commitment to championing inclusivity across the industry, and it’s a proud moment to celebrate the incredible talent of these artists in the lead-up to the International Day of People with Disability.

As part of the broader Ones To Watch program, this event helps create real pathways for emerging talent, opening doors, building connections, and ensuring every artist has the chance to be seen, heard and supported by the industry” Michelle Lucia, SVP, Product & Innovation, Live Nation Australia & New Zealand.
