SUM 41
WITH SPECIAL GUEST GRANDSON*

WEDNESDAY 4 DECEMBER – FORTITUDE MUSIC HALL, BRISBANE
TUESDAY 10 DECEMBER – AEC THEATRE, ADELAIDE
THURSDAY 12 DECEMBER – MARGARET COURT ARENA, MELBOURNE
SATURDAY 14 DECEMBER – HORDERN PAVILION, SYDNEY*


*Grandson not appearing

The SUM 41 Australian swan song this December will see the Canadian rockers go out with a bang, with Good Things Festival and their headline sideshows marking the band’s last-ever ‘Tour of the setting Sum’ tour on our shores. Come for the infectious hooks, and stay for the heaving anthems!

A band who never fit in, and never wanted to in the first place, SUM 41 erupted into view at the turn of the century with an unforgettable style spanning high octane pop punk and hard-hitting heavy metal dexterity, casting a staggering shadow over popular culture and cementing themselves as a beacon of millennial domination. With a Grammy Award nomination, eight studio albums, including their formative album trinity consisting of All Killer No Filler (2001), Does This Look Infected? (2002) and Chuck (2004), as well as their most recent double-LP Heaven :x: Hell, SUM 41 have sold 15 million albums worldwide, featured in an array of major franchises, from Spider-Man through to American Pie and Bring It On, and remain to this day one of the most potent live acts on the scene.Having amassed a staggering 1 billion streams and counting, the platinum-certified Canadian / American maverick, GRANDSON, molds genres by sculpting rock, hip-hop, and electronic into a vision of alternative you’ve never quite heard, seen or felt before. 

GRANDSON is the rare outlier who can appear with Senator Bernie Sanders on a livestream and has collaborated with everyone from Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Steve Aoki to Travis Barker, Kesha, K. Flay, X Ambassadors, Whethan, Two Feet, and DE’WAYNE, to name a few. He joined forces with Tom Morello for Hold The Line and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with the legendary guitarist. In 2023 he released his critically acclaimed sophomore album I Love You, I’m Trying and has garnered praise from Rolling Stone, Variety and Billboard.

KORN Announce Only Australian Headline Show – 2024

Calling all Adelaide KORN fans – It’s On! Today, the Gobal metal icons announce a special one-off Good Things Festival 2024 headline sideshow for Adelaide, taking place on Wednesday 4 December at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena.

For decades, KORN have wielded a formidable reputation, spanning their early days spearheading the heavy music revolution of the mid 1990s through to their more recent works. In command of two GRAMMY® Award wins, multi-platinum album certifications, and over 40 million records sold worldwide, KORN have also remained an enduring fan favourite down under with three #1 albums in Australia under their belts, including their most recent 2022 full length Requiem.

Roaring into view in 1994 via their debut self-titled album, KORN have remained true leaders in their field, tirelessly seeking outside the box while sharpening their trademark concoction of downtuned guitars, eerie production, savage grooves, and gripping lyricism. Few who were there from day one will ever forget the likes of singles Blind and Daddy, or immortalised tracks Freak On a Leash and Got the Life that soundtracked the late 90s. So great was the impact of KORN’s hybrid take on heavy music at the time, their influence sparked Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and many more, all following the undisputed leaders hailing from Bakersfield in California.

Over the years, KORN have also cultivated a ravenous following for their live shows, with their unwavering sonic vision incorporating everything from dubstep and hip-hop to the bagpipe sections of frontman Jonathan Davis. KORN balance brutality with melodic moments and mosh-pit-ready mayhem; like a well-oiled hurricane extremely well versed in how to put on a spectacle for the ages time and time again.

As the coveted headliners for Good Things Festival 2024, the KORN will off the leash and their headline show in Adelaide is one absolutely not to be missed!
