Y.O.G.A * COWTECH
Sunday 31 May 2026

Y.O.G.A * COWTECH

Make the most of the long weekend as Y.O.G.A brings the energy to Busselton.

Y.O.G.A. (You’re Only Great Always) is the renegade solo project of Reuben Styles-one half of ARIA-winning duo Peking Duk. Mixing outlaw country spirit with late-night rave energy, Y.O.G.A. turns dust and neon into more freedom than Tennessee whiskey itself.

From Stagecoach USA and CMC Rocks to Gympie Muster, Japan, and his very own cow☆tech Saloon takeover at Snow Machine New Zealand, Reuben’s rowdy, heart-thumpin’ sets have made Y.O.G.A. a festival favourite.

Viral remixes and millions of plays later, he’s blazing a trail where twang meets techno and the rulebook’s long gone missing. With a massive 2026 ahead, including tour support for Jason Aldean, Y.O.G.A. is a reminder to raise hell, dance hard, and remember: You’re Only Great Always.
