STAGE 666

Stage 666 returns to Good Things with a brand new line-up of freaks and weirdos pushing the limits of the human body! Catch daily performances by Cirque Le Strange, fresh from its national tour. This unforgettable punk-circus sideshow has to be seen to believed! This year’s show features world class aerialist and fetish club superstar Katrina Louise performing hair hanging and aerial chains. Plus Australia’s strangest strong man The Great Gordo Gamsby will shock and amaze you by lifting weights with his eyesockets and swallowing swords. And the bendiest woman in the Southern Hemisphere Soliana Ersie will confuse and entice with her crazy contortions and rubber limbs!

Our demonic parlour will again be hosted by Melbourne’s punk-rock legend Annaliese Replica (Triple R - Neon Sunset), and feature prize giveaways like our annual watermelon eating contest, plus the return of the Landlord piñata! But that’s not all!

For the first time since 2023, Stage 666 will also feature aerial acts, including the gory grandeur of humans hanging from flesh hooks courtesy of High Tea Suspensions (Sydney only). Roving artists Conjah (Melbourne) and The Voiid Collective (Brisbane) will ensure that no one misses the fun! Throw in incredible pole dancing artists, joining a fresh lineup of local punk bands in each city - and this is an unmissable part of your festival.

All this and more can be seen only at Stage 666 programmed by Oozing Future, exclusive to Good Things 2026!
