Men Without Hats Celebrate The ‘80s With New Single And UK/EU Tour

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Men Without Hats are back with their nostalgic synth-pop anthem “I <3 The ‘80s,” ahead of their electrifying UK/EU tour and upcoming album Men Without Hats On The Moon.

I <3 The ’80s

Men Without Hats, the iconic band behind “The Safety Dance,” are making a vibrant return with their new single, “I <3 the ‘80s.” This synth-pop anthem is a colorful tribute to the decade that defined their legacy, blending retro vibes with modern flair. Bursting with references to boom boxes, moonwalks, and tube tops, the track captures the electric spirit of the 1980s, evoking memories for those who lived it and offering a lively introduction for new fans.

“I <3 the ‘80s” serves as the lead single for the band’s forthcoming album, Men Without Hats On The Moon, expected in mid-October. Recorded at Black Stove Studios on Vancouver Island, the track was crafted with the expertise of Grammy and Juno winner Brian Howes, mixed by industry veteran Mark Needham, and mastered by Howie Weinberg. The song, co-written by frontman Ivan Doroschuk and Howes, weaves in a playful nod to the band’s classic hit “Pop Goes The World,” replacing a traditional guitar solo with a sing-along refrain that bridges past and present.

“I <3 the ‘80s” is more than a nostalgic throwback—it’s a celebration of the joy and exuberance of the 1980s, reimagined for today’s listeners. Men Without Hats invite fans to crank up the volume, embrace the spirit of the era, and dance into the future with the same infectious energy that made them legends.

Men Without Hats

Formed in Montreal in 1977, Men Without Hats rose from basement gigs to global fame with their infectious synth-pop sound. Hits like “The Safety Dance” and “Pop Goes The World” have transcended their era, becoming cultural touchstones in sports chants, movie soundtracks, and internet memes. With 31 million YouTube views and nearly 10 million monthly Spotify listeners, the band’s influence remains undeniable, resonating with both longtime fans and newer audiences.

The release of the single coincides with Men Without Hats’ first UK and EU tour in nearly a decade, starting August 21 at The Old Woollen in Leeds. The tour will take the band through major stops like Edinburgh Fringe, Liverpool, Utrecht, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo, before concluding in Malmö on September 17. Fans can anticipate a high-energy setlist featuring beloved classics, rare tracks, and new songs, all delivered with the band’s signature charisma and retro enthusiasm.

The current lineup—Ivan Doroschuk on vocals, Sahara Sloan on keyboards and vocals, Sho Murray on guitar, and Adrian White on drums—brings a fresh yet familiar energy. Sahara, daughter of founding member Colin Doroschuk, adds a generational layer to the band’s story with her synth skills and harmonious vocals. Fans can also enjoy the band’s recently released live album from their 2024 North American tour, available on vinyl and streaming since February 2025.
