Australian rock trio COG are returning to the Sunshine Coast in December as part of three end-of-year holiday shows.
After spending time at Key Sound Studios in Byron Bay working on new material, the band will step back onto the stage in Booval, Caloundra and Byron Bay before 2026 wraps up.
The Kings Beach Tavern show lands on Saturday, December 12, with Kodiak Empire and Elko Fields joining the bill. Both support acts will also appear at the Racehorse Hotel in Booval the previous night.
