No Sum 41? Good Things Festival Was Definitely Good!

So, you're thinking "No Sum 41? What gives?!" Yeah, I get it. Sum 41 were supposed to be at Good Things Festival. Big bummer, right? But let's be real, even without them, Good Things 2023 still absolutely killed it. This wasn't some lame consolation prize; it was a rock 'n' roll rollercoaster.

The Lineup That Rocked (Even Without Sum 41)

Let's face it, missing Sum 41 sucked. Seriously, their absence was a major talking point before the fest even started. But the organizers absolutely nailed the replacement acts, creating a lineup that felt fresh and exciting. We got a killer mix of genres, from hardcore punk to melodic metalcore. It was seriously epic!

Highlights That Blew My Mind

• Bad Omens: These guys were phenomenal. Their set was tight, energetic, and their stage presence was electric. I'm officially a fan.
• Parkway Drive: Need I say more? These Aussie legends absolutely demolished their set. A true highlight of the festival. Pure raw energy.
• The Amity Affliction: These dudes brought the emotional weight. Their music hits hard, and their performance matched the intensity. Got a little misty-eyed, I'll admit.

Beyond the Music: The Good Things Vibe

It wasn't just the bands; the vibe at Good Things was something special. Everyone was there to have a good time, moshing and singing along. Seriously, the energy was infectious. You could feel the love for the music in the air.

A Few Minor Gripes (Because No Fest Is Perfect)

Look, even the best festivals have a few hiccups. The food lines were a bit long at times. Finding a decent bathroom could sometimes be a quest. But honestly, these were minor inconveniences compared to the overall amazingness. Totally worth it.

The Takeaway: Still a Good Things Experience

While Sum 41's absence was a bummer, Good Things 2023 proved to be a truly awesome festival. The replacement acts stepped up big time, and the overall atmosphere was electric. If you missed it, you missed out – but there's always next year!

Pro-Tip for Future Good Things Attendees:

• Hydration is key: Bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the day. Trust me.
• Comfortable shoes are your best friend: You'll be doing a lot of walking and moshing.
• Check the set times: Plan your day so you don't miss your favorite bands.

So, yeah…No Sum 41. But still, a totally wicked Good Things Festival. I'd go again in a heartbeat. What about you? Let me know in the comments what your favorite moment was!
