As with every other year, anticipation surrounding the first lineup announcement for Good Things 2025 was almost at a fever pitch. Social media experts and promoter wannabe’s all shared their projected line-ups – but most were well off the mark.
Good Things is possibly one of the hardest festival line-ups armchair critics get to sink their teeth into, with the diversity and seemingly flippant mashing of genres meaning pretty much any band from any genre could make the final cut. And this year was no exception.
When TOOL were announced as headliners, a large number of punters were already scrambling for tickets, but a quick scan through the rest of the line-up proves the eclectic tastes of organisers and the variety of live music on show for fans of most persuasions.
Rock? Tick. Weezer, Garbage.
Pop Punk? Tick. All Time Low, New Found Glory.
Punk? Tick. Refused.
Metal? Big tick. Machine Head. Knocked Loose, Dayseeker.
But one band stands out more than others for their brutality. And of course theirs is the only logo on the poster almost unreadable to the non-metal trained eye. That band is Lorna Shore, and HEAVY was fortunate enough to speak with guitarist Adam Demicco earlier this morning about their Good Things appearance plus their new album.
