Armed with their unmistakable blend of punk-rock energy and reggae groove, Hightime have been a vibrant presence in the Australian music scene for nearly two decades — making friends, memories and a joyful mess across the country.

But on the eve of releasing their third record Thrive in 2020, the world shut down overnight. The chance to celebrate those songs on stage disappeared, and what followed was a long, unintended break. Still, for a band built on deep friendship, it was never going to be a final chapter — more of a pause.

Our setlist centres around the Blues.  Why?

Because it's the mother of all jazz, soul and rock. 

After exploding into the spotlight in 2014, acclaimed rapper and industry stalwart Ivan Ooze has built a cult following through tours with Wu Tang Clan, Ice Cube, Azealia Banks and Peking Duk, as well as his own sold out national tours. He garnered a devoted audience for his infamous live show that would include everything from backflips, freestyles and stage dives and for developing real connections with his fans via social media, where you can always find him rapping over well-known tracks.  

Cog’s connection with audiences remains immediate and undeniable—a live force where sing-alongs erupt, fists rise, and every song carries crushing emotional weight. Praised for delivering “love, anger, hope, anguish, and everything in between,” Cog shows are more than gigs; they’re immersive, sweat-drenched experiences that leave rooms buzzing long after the last note.
