The group returns with a powerful new anthem and North American tour dates
Men Without Hats—one of Canada’s most enduring and beloved new wave bands—are back with their upcoming album On the Moon, out November 14th. Their latest single, “In Glorious Days,” out now, continues the group’s exciting new chapter, following the viral success of “I ❤️ The 80s,” which has earned over two million views and streams in just three months.
Written by frontman Ivan Doroschuk and Grammy and Juno Award-winning producer Brian Howes, “In Glorious Days” represents the band’s first experience with true creative collaboration. The track captures the spirit of classic Men Without Hats while embracing a modern synthwave aesthetic that bridges the past and future of their sound. “Working with Brian was effortless—the song came together naturally,” Ivan says. “It’s a hybrid of the classic MWH sound with a fresh sonic sensibility. I can’t wait to play it live—it’s going to be a new crowd favourite.”
“On the Moon” was recorded in two sessions—first at Howes’ studio in Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, where the pair collaborated on “I ❤️ The 80s” and “In Glorious Days,” and then in Victoria, BC, where Ivan and longtime producer, engineer, and guitarist Sho Murray captured the album’s more intimate moments. With additional vocals from Sahara Sloan and mastering by industry legends Mark Needham and Howie Weinberg, the record is both polished and deeply personal—a sonic journey through reflection, resilience, and renewal.
“In Glorious Days” is an anthem for anyone reclaiming their fire. With pulsing synths, driving percussion, and Ivan’s unmistakable voice, it evokes both nostalgia and transformation. Lyrically, it explores the tension between passion and self-preservation—capturing the exuberant, defiant spirit that made Men Without Hats global icons of individuality and joy.
Formed in Montreal in 1977 by Ivan Doroschuk, Men Without Hats became a cornerstone of the new wave era with hits like “The Safety Dance” and “Pop Goes the World,” songs that have transcended generations and soundtracked everything from Super Bowl campaigns to global soccer chants. Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020, the band’s influence continues to ripple through pop culture.
The current lineup—featuring Ivan Doroschuk (vocals), Sahara Sloan (keyboards, vocals), Sho Murray (guitar), and Adrian White (drums)—embodies the band’s signature balance of innovation and nostalgia. With over 31 million YouTube views, 9.9 million Spotify listeners, and fans spanning continents, Men Without Hats remain one of Canada’s most recognized and enduring musical exports.
In support of “On the Moon,” Men Without Hats will embark on their highly anticipated Canadian tour and promise a high-energy mix of new material, classic hits, and fan-favourite deep cuts—all delivered with the wit, warmth, and flair that have defined their legacy.
As they prepare for the release, Men Without Hats continue to evolve while honouring their roots—blending innovation, melody, and nostalgia in equal measure. With “In Glorious Days,” the band proves that their creative spark still burns brightly, offering a powerful reminder that great songs—and great spirits—never go out of style.
