Australian Crawl and Men at Work have added two new co-headline shows to their 2026 Australian run, following strong demand for their previously announced Red Hot Summer Tour dates.
The new concerts are set for Friday, Nov. 20, at Brisbane’s Riverstage and Sunday, Nov. 22, at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The two bands will be joined at the newly announced shows by Vika & Linda and Boom Crash Opera.
The additions follow a run of sold-out dates across the Red Hot Summer Tour, including stops at Sandstone Point, Berry, Manly, the Hunter Valley, Coolangatta, Mornington and Swan Valley. Shows in Toowoomba, Ballarat and Glenelg are also selling fast, according to the announcement.
Presales for the newly announced Brisbane and Melbourne concerts begin Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m. local time via Red Hot Summer Tour and Face to Face Touring. General onsale begins Thursday, Sept. 10, at noon local time.
The 2026 shows will bring together two of Australia’s best-known bands from the late ’70s and ’80s. For Australian Crawl, the run centers on the reunion of James Reyne and David Reyne, who will perform together in celebration of the band’s catalog. The shows mark the first time in more than 40 years that the original members will share the stage, according to the announcement.
The Australian Crawl lineup for the upcoming shows also includes John Watson, who played with the band from 1983 to 1986, alongside Brett Kingman, Josh Owen, Andrew McIvor, Sean Johnson, Melinda Jackson and Nicole Kurta.
Men at Work remain one of Australia’s biggest U.S. crossover stories. The band topped the Billboard Hot 100 with both “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under,” while their debut album, Business as Usual, spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the early 1980s.
The co-headline dates add to a wider summer schedule for both acts, with the Red Hot Summer Tour also featuring Birds of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe and Killing Heidi’s Ella Hooper on select dates.
The newly announced dates are below.
Nov. 20 — Brisbane, Australia @ Riverstage
Nov. 22 — Melbourne, Australia @ Sidney Myer Music Bowl
