Men At Work returns to Brazil for 6 shows in May

With 30 million records sold and a Grammy Award under their belt, Men At Work lands in Brazil in May 2026 for six nights of pure 80s Australian pop rock.

A band that stood the test of time

Men At Work was formed in Melbourne, Australia in the late 1970s. By the early 80s, they had taken the world by storm, winning the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1983. Their debut album, “Business as Usual” (1981), set the record for the longest stay at number one on the US charts for a debut release.

Music videos for “Be Good Johnny”, “Down Under” and “Who Can It Be Now?” became staples of early MTV. Despite their massive success, the band split in 1985. Colin Hay pursued a solo career and reunited with keyboardist and saxophonist Greg Ham in 1996 to re-form the group, including a stop in Brazil where they recorded a live album. The second chapter ended in 2012, following Ham’s passing.

In 2019, Hay relaunched the band with his Los Angeles-based musicians, while also serving as a member of Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band. Since then, the group has drawn large crowds worldwide, a testament to the enduring power of the MAW catalog.

The setlist fans have been waiting for

The tour setlist features all the band’s greatest hits, including “Who Can It Be Now?”, “Down Under”, “Be Good Johnny”, “Underground”, “High Wire”, “Overkill”, “It’s a Mistake”, “Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive”, “Everything I Need”, “Maria” and “Man with Two Hearts”, among many others.
