Men At Work, best known for such hit songs as “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under,” has announced dates for a U.S. summer tour.
Following an appearance at the BottleRock Festival in Napa, California, on May 22, the band, featuring original member Colin Hay, will hit the road for U.S. dates with special guests Toad The Wet Sprocket and Shonen Knife.
“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,” Hay says. “Turns out we do, people of all ages, of all different backgrounds, who find something in the songs that brings them joy.”
He adds, “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.”
The tour kicks off July 16 in Pompano Beach, Florida, with stops in Atlanta, Detroit, Nashville and more. It wraps Aug. 20 in Los Angeles.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday. A complete list of dates can be found at ColinHay.com/MenAtWork.
To coincide with the tour announcement, Men At Work are set to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday, where they’ll play their hit song “Who Can It Be Now?”
Until then, Hay has a busy schedule ahead of him. He’ll launch a solo acoustic tour in Palm Springs, California, on April 8, while Men At Work also have dates booked in Mexico and Brazil starting April 30. Hay is also part of Ringo Starr‘s All-Starr Band, which launches a tour on May 28 in Temecula, California.

The legendary Dolly Parton turned 80 on Monday, and she received a special birthday surprise from U2 frontman Bono.
Dolly shared an Instagram video of bagpiper Pat Darcy playing “Happy Birthday” in a conference room, as a cake reading “Love Bono” was brought in. She then blew out all the candles, joking, “I did it!”
“Now that’s what you call a surprise!” Dolly wrote in the caption. “This old bag sure feels the love! Thank you, Bono and @u2 for making my birthday extra special.”
In the video, Dolly tells Darcy, “Well, thank you. I saw that cake said, ‘From Bono,’ so he must have sent you as a present to me. Well, thank you guys. I appreciate all of you.”
Darcy replies, “It’s an absolute delight to be here on behalf of the whole band.”
Darcy also posted about the experience on his Instagram, writing, “This morning I had the pleasure of playing a few tunes, on behalf of Bono and the boys, for Dolly Parton for her 80th birthday.” He added, “I also presented her with a pint of Guinness. There was even time for a nice chat.”
“She was exactly who you’d hope she’d be,” he concluded. “Happy 80th Birthday Dolly!”
Def Leppard released Pyromania, their third studio album and the first to feature Phil Collen, who replaced the band’s original guitarist Pete Willis.
The album, produced by Mutt Lange, featured future Def Leppard classics “Photograph,” “Foolin’” and “Rock of Ages.” It spent a total of 124 weeks on the Billboard 200, although it only peaked at #2.
Pyromania went on to become Def Leppard’s most successful record, selling over 10 million copies and earning a Diamond certification by the RIAA.
In 2024, in celebration of the album’s 40th anniversary, Def Leppard released a deluxe edition of Pyromania, featuring unheard demos from the band’s archives.

Rob Hirst, founding member and drummer of the Australian rock band Midnight Oil, has died at age 70.
“After fighting heroically for almost three years, Rob is now free of pain – ‘a glimmer of tiny light in the wilderness,'” Midnight Oil writes in an Instagram post published Tuesday. “He died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.”
Hirst had revealed in 2025 that he’d been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer following the conclusion of Midnight Oil’s farewell tour in 2022.
“We are shattered and grieving the loss of our brother Rob,” the Oils add in a separate post. “For now there are no words but there will always be songs.”
Hirst cofounded Midnight Oil in 1976. The band became beloved in their native Australia and broke out worldwide with their 1987 album, Diesel and Dust, which spawned the singles “Beds Are Burning” and “The Dead Heart.”
The Oils were also known for singles including “Blue Sky Mine,” “Forgotten Years,” “King of the Mountain” and “Truganini.”

Billy Idol‘s longtime guitarist and collaborator Steve Stevens has worked with him since the early ’80s and has a good idea as to why Idol’s popularity has lasted as long as it has.
“I think it’s always been cool to like Billy Idol, and our records were never something you could pigeonhole,” he says in a new interview with Guitar World.
“I came from the rock side with guitar heroes like Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, a little prog, some new wave and New York punk,” he says. “Then you have Billy with the punk-rock/Elvis thing, and our early producer Keith Forsey came from working with [Italian composer] Giorgio Moroder on dance records like Donna Summer. So, because we’ve always had this gumbo of different styles, we were never pigeonholed when it came to writing music.”
Stevens notes that while Idol’s biggest hits, like “Rebel Yell,” “White Wedding” and “Eyes Without a Face,” came in the ’80s, “Billy’s roots go back to 1977 London.”
“I think that’s served us really well. He’s got a timeless image and people appreciate that,” Stevens adds. “He’s a real-deal rock ’n’ roll star. Honestly, we sound better now than we did back then.”
Idol released his last album, Dream Into It, in 2025. A documentary on his life, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, was recently acquired by Evan Saxon Productions and is expected to have a theatrical release in early 2026.

Phil Collins has sat down for an interview that will be part of a new podcast for the BBC.
BBC Eras: Phil Collins, hosted by Zoe Ball, is a five-part podcast on the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. It features new interviews with such stars as Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant, Sir Bob Geldof and more, along with interviews from the BBC Archive.
The first four episodes are out now, with the fifth and final installment debuting Jan. 26. The final episode features a brand-new interview with the Genesis frontman, which, according to a post on Instagram, has him “reflecting on his iconic career through its era-defining chapters covering the past 6 decades.”
“Phil Collins’ music is woven into all our lives, those songs are time machines, full of heart, drama and joy,” says Ball. “I’ve been lucky enough to chat with Phil a few times over the years, but to dive into his extraordinary story for Eras and sit down with him again for such a special, intimate conversation about music, family and everything in between is an absolute dream.”

A planned Poison tour celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary isn’t happening, reportedly because frontman Bret Michaels was asking for too much money.
Talk of the tour began over the summer after guitarist C.C. DeVille wrote on social media, “Poison tour 2026. Are you ready?” But now drummer Rikki Rockett tells the New York Post’s Page Six it’s not happening because Michaels demanded to be paid six times what Rockett, DeVille and bassist Bobby Dall were getting.
“We had a great offer, I thought. But we left the table,” Rockett says. “It didn’t work.”
“Really what it came to was C.C., Bobby and I were all in, and I thought Bret was, but he wanted the lion’s share of the money, to the point where it makes it not possible to even do it,” says Rockett. “It’s like $6 to every one of our dollars. You just can’t work that way.”
“I don’t do this just for the money. I do have a love for this, absolutely,” he adds. “But at the same time, you don’t want to go out and work really hard just to make somebody else a bunch of money.”
Rockett hasn’t ruled out a tour in the future, joking that it would be “a perfect Poison folly to do a 41st anniversary tour.” He notes that while replacing Michaels is “not out of the question,” it is “the last resort.”
“I don’t want to do that. I’m not quarreling with Bret[.] … We just didn’t come to agreement,” he says. “I don’t like it, and I’ll say that, but it’s not like, ‘Let’s put up our dukes.’ I don’t think there’s a better frontman for Poison.”

The Black Crowes have debuted the music video for “Profane Prophecy,” one of two singles from their upcoming album, A Pound of Feathers.
In the video, according to its description, the band has “conjured seven devils (representing each deadly sin) to wreak havoc on this little fairytale world of stark morality and harsh retribution.”
“‘Profane Prophecy’ is about the devil you know, the devil you never knew, the devil inside of me and devil inside of you,” The Crowes’ Chris Robinson says. “The mischief and madness in the beautiful expression that is rock n roll … and you can dance to it.”
A Pound of Feathers, dropping March 13, is The Black Crowes’ 10th studio album and their first since 2024’s Happiness Bastards. In addition to “Profane Prophecy,” they previewed the album for fans by releasing the track “Pharmacy Chronicles.”
The Black Crowes have already announced several dates for 2026. They’ll kick off a tour in Australia on April 2 in Melbourne, followed by two nights in Japan on April 14 and 15. The band also has dates booked across the U.K. and Europe in June and July, and will open four shows on Guns N’ Roses‘ North American tour, starting Aug. 22 in Las Vegas.
