Colin Hay To Release 12th Solo Album Next Year People

Colin Hay leads a new Men At Work touring lineup through Australia, revisiting the catalogue that made the band an international success, alongside a selection of his solo material.

Australian Crawl returned to the stage for the first time in 40 years and Men At Work for the first time in 25 years when the Red Hot Summer Tour opened in Toowoomba on 17 October 2026, with James Reyne, David Reyne and John Watson carrying the Crawl name and Colin Hay leading Men At Work.

Australian Crawl and Men At Work will share the stage for the first time in more than four decades, with Brisbane and Melbourne added to the 2026 Red Hot Summer Tour.

Men At Work built their following at Melbourne's Cricketers Arms Hotel before conquering the world. Today, the Richmond pub's own website celebrates its history without mentioning the band that began its journey there.

Colin Hay will lead the current Men At Work line-up with four additional Australian tour dates in October and November, marking 45 years since the release of the band's landmark debut album, Business As Usual.

The Red Hot Summer Tour has recorded another sell-out, with the Hunter Valley event at Roche Estate reaching capacity as demand continues for Australian Crawl's first official performances in 40 years and a rare reunion with Men At Work.

The 2026 Red Hot Summer Tour has added two more sold out events, with Berry Showground in New South Wales and Sandalford Wines in Western Australia's Swan Valley now reaching capacity ahead of the national tour.
