Atlanta, get ready to turn back the clock in the best possible way. On July 21, 2026, the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre becomes the epicenter of alternative rock nostalgia when Men At Work and Toad the Wet Sprocket — with special guests Shonen Knife — storm the stage for what promises to be one of the most electrifying concert experiences of the year. This is not a drill, Atlanta. This is the real deal, and you absolutely cannot afford to sit this one out.

Icons of an Era, Together in Atlanta

Men At Work burst onto the global stage in the early 1980s with an irresistible blend of new wave and pop rock that produced some of the most recognizable songs in radio history. From the infectious groove of Down Under to the anxious energy of Who Can It Be Now?, this Australian outfit became the soundtrack to a generation. Lead vocalist Colin Hay has continued to carry that torch with passion, charm, and a voice that still sends chills down your spine. When Men At Work rolls into Atlanta, expect a set packed with the anthems that defined a decade.

Toad the Wet Sprocket brings a completely different — but equally powerful — emotional punch. The Santa Barbara band became cult heroes of the early '90s alternative scene with deeply introspective, melodically rich tracks like All I Want and Walk on the Ocean. Their music has a timeless, soulful quality that resonates just as deeply today as it did when MTV was still king. Atlanta fans who grew up with these songs know exactly how transformative a Toad performance can be live.

Shonen Knife: The Wild Card You'll Be Talking About

Opening the night is the legendary Japanese punk-pop trio Shonen Knife — a band that has been blazing trails and winning over fans worldwide since 1981. Fun, fierce, and absolutely fearless, Shonen Knife is the kind of opener that makes you show up early. Consider yourself warned.
