Sing Along for a Good Cause: The Great Cover Up Returns

It’s that time of year again—The Great Cover Up is back for 2026 with three weekends of Friday and Saturday night shows at Kings, bringing together a stacked lineup of local musicians covering your favorite songs, all in support of organizations doing meaningful work in the Triangle and beyond.
