Thirsty Merc tours are reaching legendary status, and the band has announced a host of ‘Encore Shows’ for 2026 after their successful ‘Summer Live 25’ Tour. The band has been furnishing audiences with quintessential soundtracks to Aussie summers for well over two decades now, and on the upcoming run, fans will be treated to electric and passionately performed live versions of ‘Someday, Someday,’ ’20 Good Reasons,’ ‘Mousetrap Heart,’ ‘In The Summertime,’ ‘The Good Life,’ ‘Tommy and Krista’ and other Merc classics.
Thirsty Merc formed in 2002, recorded their Debut album in 2003, sold over 250,000 albums (one double platinum, one platinum), received 5 ARIA nominations, garnered an APRA song of the year nomination, received extensive national airplay for multiple singles and videos and has toured constantly since the mid noughties. The band’s song ‘In The Summertime’ has just been signed on again for Series 19(!) of hit TV show ‘Bondi Rescue.’
Lead Singer Rai Thistlethwayte says in his own words:
‘We can’t thank our audiences enough for being so incredibly supportive during our last couple of tours. Our ’20 Good Years,’ ‘Electric Summer,’ and ‘Summer Live 25’ campaigns were endless
amounts of fun to put together for you, and for those who came to the shows, we hope you felt the same! It seems like an even wider age group of people are enjoying Thirsty Merc’s music of late, and and that in itself inspires us to keep going for years to come. Get your kicks with The Merc in ’26!’
