Men At Work & Toad the Wet Sprocket with Shonen Knife

Grammy Award-winning rock band Men At Work, led by original member Colin Hay, announce a summer 2026 U.S. headlining tour. Joining the band are beloved alternative rockers Toad the Wet Sprocket and seminal Japanese pop-punk band Shonen Knife.
Due to demand, Men at Work have toured in fits and starts since 1996, most consistently beginning in 2018. “What has clearly stood the test of time, are the songs. Forty five years on, I still hear them in the street, on the radio, in supermarkets, they are still going strong. I would never have predicted back in 1985, that 40 years on, I would still be fronting Men At Work, this version featuring Cubans, a Peruvian, an American, and me.”
The current touring line up of Men At Work is Jimmy Branly on drums, Yosmel Montejo on bass, and SanMiguel on guitar, all originally hailing from Cuba. On sax, flute and keyboards is Rachel Mazer, and Cecilia Noël on harmony vocals and percussion.
“Over the last few years, I have gone out on tour as Men At Work, on a quest of discovery. To discover whether or not we still have an audience. Turns out we do, people of all ages, of all different backgrounds, who find something in the songs that brings them joy.
This summer of 2026, we are happily traveling with our musical compatriots, Toad The Wet Sprocket, and Shonen Knife. Very much looking forward to it.”
In 2003, Colin Hay released Man @ Work, a career retrospective of solo studio renderings from the Men at Work catalog, remixes of solo works and cover songs. The latest in the series, Man @ Work: Volume 2, was released in 2025.
