Legendary New Zealand band Split Enz is reuniting for the first time in nearly 20 years with the Forever Enz Tour, confirmed for May 2026. Presented by Live Nation, the tour will feature Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner, and Noel Crombie, joined by Matt Eccles on drums and James Milne on bass. The long-awaited reunion kicks off May 13 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, followed by shows at Sydney’s ICC Theatre on May 18, Perth’s RAC Arena on May 22, and Adelaide Entertainment Centre on May 25. Split Enz will also headline Bluesfest 2026, marking a triumphant return for one of the most influential groups in Australasian music history.

Formed in 1972, Split Enz rose to global acclaim through their inventive art-pop sound and theatrical performances, creating an enduring legacy across five decades. Their timeless hits — including “I Got You,” “I See Red,” “Message To My Girl,” “Six Months On A Leaky Boat,” “History Never Repeats,” and “One Step Ahead” — defined an era and influenced generations of musicians. This year also celebrates the 50th anniversary of their debut album Mental Notes and the launch of the Enzyclopedia re-release series, beginning November 14 via Chrysalis Records and Warner Music. With 5x platinum-certified success for True Colours and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Split Enz’s reunion promises to be a monumental celebration of history, harmony, and homegrown brilliance.
