10,000 Maniacs, the band behind “These Are Days,” “Trouble Me” and “Candy Everybody Wants,” is celebrating 45 years with a stop in Morristown. The band plays the Mayo Performing Arts Center, 100 South Street, on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 8 PM.
The group formed in Jamestown, New York, in 1981, and 2026 marks its 45th anniversary. MPAC is billing the night as 45 Years of Timeless Music, and with less than four weeks to go, now is a good time to grab seats.

The band lists the same six members on its official website.
What to Expect From the 45th Anniversary Shows
The band broke through with 1987’s In My Tribe, which spent 77 weeks on the charts and gave us “Like the Weather” and “What’s the Matter Here?” Platinum albums Blind Man’s Zoo and Our Time in Eden followed, and the band’s MTV Unplugged album, with its hit cover of “Because the Night,” sold more than four million copies. In all, the Maniacs have sold more than 10 million records worldwide.
The anniversary year also brings a new box set, Candy Everybody Wants, covering the band’s Elektra years, and MPAC says the band plans to close out 2026 with its first album of new material in 12 years. Expect the hits fans know by heart, with room for some of the new songs too.
