The title reflects a heartfelt “boisterous” gratitude from the artists and fans who have called the space home, turning the closure into a high-energy celebration of its history rather than a somber departure.

The 2026 event schedule features multiple dates with diverse lineups to give the venue a proper send-off. A major highlight occurs on March 28, 2026, headlined by the melodic punk veterans SHANK.

These performances are designed to capture the eclectic and intimate spirit of Club COCOA, offering fans one last chance to experience the raw, close-quarters energy that defined the Hakodate underground before the venue transitions into local legend.
