Iconic Scottish-Australian songwriter and Grammy Award-winner Colin Hay has announced a string of Australian tour dates.

The former Men At Work frontman has put his name to 11 solo albums, with Next Year People due out on Friday February 13. He’s also known for having a great sense of humour – see that one time he appeared as a singing zombie in Scrubs.

That explains his Enmore Theatre date for Sydney Comedy Festival on Saturday May 9. He’ll also play Lizotte’s Newcastle on Thursday May 7.
