Recent Live praise for COG:

“Cog’s connection with the audience was immediate and undeniable. Sing-alongs erupted, fists rose, and the already humid room became a pressure cooker of sound and motion.” – Amnplify

“Each song seemed to carry so much emotional weight proving very, very powerful, more than a show but an experience. The crowd reaction, the impassioned singing and the intensity that the band played with was incredible to watch.”  – HiFi Way

“Cog delivered it all. Love, anger, hope, anguish, and everything in between. A band that in their years have not lost their edge, their connection, their sound, and their hope.”  – The Hot & Heavy Show

In 2026, prepare to share even more space with Aussie rock icons Cog, with the band announcing eight additional shows for the new year. Joining their two added Western Australian performances later this month, April will now find Cog heading to Gosford, Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Canberra, Wollongong, Penrith, Hobart, Chelsea Heights and Barwon Heads.

Celebrating the release of Walk The Line, Cog’s first new music since 2019, this upcoming 2026 headline run will offer fans a chance to revel in new and old favourites, and will also notably mark the band’s first Tasmanian performance in a decade since their sold out 2016 reunion tour. And for those in Wollongong and Hobart who may fancy making it a family affair, we have good news for you: both Wollongong and Hobart shows are all ages, so bring the grommies!

Closing out 2025 with performances in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Newcastle, Brisbane, Caloundra, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour, it’s no secret that Cog’s voracious live energy continues to go from strength to strength, and 2026 is primed for even more unforgettable moments from the revered trio consisting of Flynn Gower, Luke Gower and Lucius Borich.

Last September, Cog released their first new music since 2019 via Walk The Line; an immediate Cog classic with raw yet blissful dynamic shifts, showcasing the trio in their most assured form to date while brandishing real-world themes of life as a musician in the modern music scene.

Emerging in the late 90s, Cog’s enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, global touring, and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000’s Pseudo, and part one and part two of 2002’s Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would firmly cement in 2005 in the form of their debut full-length The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touring Australia, embarking on overseas runs, and igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongside adding a stellar second album release to their repertoire with the certified Gold 2008 opus Sharing Space.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, Cog emerged from a five year hiatus in 2016, with an entirely sold out comeback tour across Australia that same year. And some new music soon followed in 2018 courtesy of the band’s first new material in a decade: The Middle. From here, Cog have continued to expand their creative spirit, releasing additional singles, Altered States, Drawn Together, and, as of 2025, Walk The Line, while also remaining active on the touring circuit, including headlining The Other Festival and Thrashville in recent years along with their headline adventures.

“The feedback and response we’ve had so far to Walk The Line and the upcoming shows has been fantastic,” shares vocalist Flynn Gower. “It makes us feel so good to know that people are enjoying what we’ve put so much time and love into.”
Australia, you asked and Cog have delivered! Don’t miss your chance to catch Cog live in 2026.
