Less than 200 Tickets Remaining for Melbourne Leg

There's no prizes for guessing why there was palpable excitement about Monolith Festival when it was announced in late 2021. It will be the very first time in seventeen years that Aussie rock legends KARNIVOOL and COG will tour together on the same line-up!

Heading up the line-up is KARNIVOOL. With their acclaimed debut, Themata, the ground-breaking follow-up, Sound Awake and the ARIA winning #1 album Asymmetry, KARNIVOOL have established themselves as one of the most vital global forces in progressive modern music. KARNIVOOL have gained high praise from international press titans such as Rolling Stone, Billboard Magazine, Kerrang! and Rocksound. A rare sight to see them on a festival line-up, it’s even more special when it has them reuniting for the first time in 17 years with long time musical brothers, COG!

Since their return in 2016 after their critically acclaimed albums The New Normal and Sharing Space and subsequent five-year hiatus, COG have been immersing themselves in their craft with renewed vigour, already having a plethora of new ideas and structures from which to draw new material. First releasing The Middle in 2018 – the first new material released by COG in ten years – Altered States and Drawn Together followed, each song providing further proof that although COG had been gone, they had lost none of their firepower.

Rounding out the seven band line-up is the enigmatic/eccentric OCEAN GROVE, the guitar mastery and groove-laden riffs of PLINI, the post-rock power and majesty of SLEEPMAKESWAVES, the outright force of nature that is RELIQA, and the up-and-coming instrumentalists YOMI SHIP opening up proceedings.
