Thirsty Merc
Thirsty Merc are bringing their 2026 Encore Shows to Burleigh Town Hotel, Gold Coast on Sunday 3 May of the long weekend.
After a huge run of shows and the wildly successful Summer Live 25 tour, they’re back with another round of encore dates, serving up the ultimate soundtrack to an Aussie long weekend. Expect a big, feel-good set loaded with classics like Someday, Someday, 20 Good Reasons, Mousetrap Heart, In The Summertime, The Good Life, Tommy and Krista, plus plenty more fan favourites.
Formed in 2002, Thirsty Merc have spent over two decades delivering hit after hit, with over 250,000 albums sold, multiple ARIA nominations, and songs that still dominate singalongs around the country. In The Summertime remains an absolute anthem, and has even been re-signed for Series 19 of Bondi Rescue.
Lock in your long weekend plans and make it a proper Sunday session with The Merc. Tickets will move fast, so jump on them early.
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 that in itself inspires us to keep going for years to come. Get your kicks with The Merc in ’26!’
