What began as a Sydney pub band formed by a group of art students has grown, over fifty years, into one of Australia’s most iconic and beloved acts. With more hit songs than any other Australian band, Mental As Anything’s influence reaches far beyond music, their songs, artwork, and unmistakable style firmly embedded in Australian culture.
In 2026, original members Reg Mombassa and Peter O’Doherty reunite for a special 50th anniversary tour, bringing the band back to the stage for the first time in 25 years. With classics like If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, and Live It Up, their catalogue has soundtracked generations.
This March, five decades of sharp songwriting, infectious melodies, and unmistakable energy take over the Monday stage at A Taste of the Huon.
