Tonight Alive formed in 2008, emerging as a powerful force in Sydney’s alternative scene and quickly earning a reputation as one of Australia's most trailblazing femme-led bands. Rising from the underground with grit and vision, the band gathered a global following in the 2010s, releasing three albums under Sony Music and Fearless, and a fourth with Hopeless Records and UNFD. Cutting their teeth on relentless international tours, Tonight Alive shared stages with scene heavyweights like All Time Low and Pierce the Veil, and appeared at iconic festivals including Vans Warped Tour, Reading & Leeds, and the inaugural Good Things Festival in 2018. Known for cathartic, high-energy performances, the band is led by Jenna McDougall, whose voice and message connected with a generation of outcasts and seekers. Influenced by the golden era of early 2000s pop punk, Tonight Alive’s evolution included collaborations with their idols: Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) on “Thank You and Goodnight,” Benji Madden (Good Charlotte) on “Breakdown,” and Corey Taylor (Slipknot) on “My Underworld.” Their music featured on major platforms like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack (“The Edge”) and Guitar Hero Live (“The Ocean”), further cementing their cultural impact. Celebrated for their unwavering commitment to authenticity, Tonight Alive built a legacy not just of sound, but of spirit. After a four-year hiatus, they returned in 2024 with comeback appearances at When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas and two sold-out hometown shows. Good Things 2025 marks one of a select few appearances, as the band embraces a redefined relationship to touring.
