Fans of Australian rock bands are having a great week after a new Red Hot Summer Tour was announced. The event features legendary group Men at Work, which in itself is worth getting excited about, but to add to the hype, another band is reuniting after 40 years for the tour.
Australian Crawl, which disbanded in 1986, is coming back together after decades to perform on this tour. Frontman James Reyne is getting back together with guitarist Simon Binks and drummer David Reyne for the special event. This will also be the first time Australian Crawl and Men at Work have toured together, as reported by Rolling StoneAustralia.
The tour will take place all over Australia, with 10 dates set for October and November 2026. The first date will be in Toowoomba, Queensland, on Oct. 17, while the tour will wrap up in Glenelg, South Australia, on Nov. 15.

Talking about the band's legacy, David said, “Back in 1979, a bunch of us from the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula twanged some guitars, banged some drums, blended together some tunes and played a gig or two for the local board riders’ club. Australian Crawl was born."
"What a delight it will be to do it all again with those of us from the original gang who haven’t yet propped permanently at Heaven’s Bar," he concluded. A few former members of Australian Crawl have died. Founding member and guitarist Brad Robinson dying in 1996 from lymphoma, while rhythm guitarist Guy McDonough died in 1984 due to complications from pneumonia.
Despite only being active from 1978 to 1986, Australian Crawl made their mark on rock music, with hits like "Reckless (Don't Be So…)," "The Boys Light Up," and "Beautiful People," among others.
