By the end of the year, Colin Hay will have been to Clearwater three times in one year. In April, the Men at Work frontman performed a sold-out solo gig downtown, and in September—if all goes well—he’ll share the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage with Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band.

But before his Beatle adventures continue, Hay is spending his summer touring under the Men At Work name (albeit with no original members of the Australian band) for the first time in the U.S. in over two decades.
Though the “Down Under” band is about to tour American amphitheaters alongside Rick Springfield and John Waite, only Waite will be present to open this gig happening on Thursday, Aug. 4 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater.
