Raise your hand if you miss the 1990s. Yes, we have our hands way up in the air with you. The decade was one of the most eclectic in music history, and it boasted some of the best acts in genres like rock, rap, electronic, and jam bands. It was an age considered pre-Internet, when no one had any idea how Facebook and Twitter (now X) would take over our lives. Sigh.

But a decade with so many great bands hasn’t totally gone the way of the dodo. Today, many of the bands and artists from the era are still playing live, hitting the road to share their music with fans. Some of them are known as one-hit wonders, too. Indeed, these are three one-hit wonders from the 90s who are still touring today!
Natalie Imbruglia
The glamorous Australian-born actress-turned-singer captured hearts in the 1990s thanks to her hit single “Torn”. Her cover of the track, which was originally by the band Ednaswap, was a mainstay on MTV and top-40 radio during the 1990s, and as a result, it made her a fan favorite amongst many in the decade. Today, Natalie Imbruglia is still sharing her music with audiences. She released her latest LP, Firebird, in 2021. And she is also still touring today, with several dates set for the United Kingdom in the near future. Check her out now!
Hanson
In the mid-1990s, the Oklahoma-born brother trio known as Hanson was all the rage. Were they the new Jackson 5? Combining harmonies and infectious energy, the three earned a No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for their joyous tune, “MMMBop”. Today, more mature and experienced, the brothers are still making music. They released their latest LP, Red Green Blue, in 2022. And the band is still on tour with a number of summer dates on the calendar.
Oasis
Many fans may not consider Oasis to be a traditional one-hit wonder, as they are far from that particular label in the UK as possible. However, the British-born group centered around brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher technically only boasts one tune to race up the US charts, their acoustic-driven song, “Wonderwall”. However you count the band, they are famously reuniting for a tour this summer (thanks in part to iconic radio DJ Marco Collins). Check out the group on state this summer, starting this month in June.
