COFU 26 backed by Revive Live

We’ve got some absolutely massive news to share—and we’ve been itching to tell you!

Caltowie COFU has officially received funding through the Australian Government’s Revive Live program, and we couldn’t be more pumped. This incredible support helps keep grassroots music alive, strengthens regional festivals like ours, and ensures we can continue delivering the unforgettable COFU experience you all know and love.

For a tiny town, this means BIG things.

Revive Live is all about championing Australia’s live music scene—especially in the regions where community, connection, and good vibes are everything. To have the AusGov Office for the Arts recognise the value of what we’re building here in Caltowie is something we’re truly grateful for.

So, what does this support help us do?

  • Deliver exceptional production that brings our artists—and your festival day—to life

  • Boost PR, helping spread the COFU magic far and wide

  • Keep tickets as affordable and accessible as possible so more legends can roll into town and enjoy the festival

It’s a huge win not just for COFU, but for live music in South Australia and all the passionate supporters who believe in what we do.

We’re fired up for 2026, and trust us… what’s coming is going to be an absolute ripper. 🔥🤘
Stay tuned, stay excited, and stay ready to get Chilled Out ’n’ Fired Up again.
