Original members Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa have announced a massive Mental As Anything 2026 tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Australian band.

After 25 Years, Mental As Anything Founders Peter O'Doherty And Reg Mombassa Reintroduce The Band To Melbourne As Mental As Anything Celebrates 50 Years

The story of one of Australia's most distinctive and influential bands is heading to the big screen. Live It Up: The Mental As Anything Story will receive a nationwide theatrical release on 5 March 2026, arriving as Mental As Anything reform to mark their 50th anniversary and prepare for a national tour led by original members Reg Mombassa and Peter O'Doherty.

St Kilda Festival has confirmed its return for 2026 with the first five acts unveiled for what is shaping as one of the biggest editions in the event's long and storied history. Set across two days on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 February 2026, the iconic free festival will once again transform Melbourne's bayside into a celebration of Australian music, culture and summer.

Reg Mombassa and Peter O’Doherty have pretty much tied their Mental As Anything album output (especially counting the double album Medicated Spirits as two records).

Pete and Reg’s Dog Trumpet has taken top billing for the 10th birthday of the Nimbin Roots Festival but there is some bad news attached, it will also be the last year of the festival.

On 11 July 2025 Dog Trumpet will release their ninth album ‘Live Forever’.
