The legendary Split Enz – featuring Tim Finn, Eddie Rayner, Neil Finn, and Noel Crombie – will reunite for their first tour in nearly 20 years on the Forever Enz Tour through Live Nation, confirmed for May 2026.

Antipodean pioneers in make-up and self-designed clothing with a zany form of art rock, and later transitioning to more accessible indie pop maestros, the Enz always were the archetypal quirky rock band, while their mastery of melody and bittersweet melancholy saw some of their biggest global hits such as ‘I See Red’ (possibly one of the first singles I ever bought) and from the album True Colours (still so listenable today) with the hit ‘I Got You’.

The band’s last live outing on Australian shores was 2009’s Sound Relief concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Split Enz were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005.

With live line up featuring Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner and Noel Crombie plus Matt Eccles on drums and James Milne on bass, The Forever Enz Tour will commence on Wednesday 13 May at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne followed by ICC Theatre, Sydney on Monday 18 May, RAC Arena, Perth on Friday 22 May and concluding on Monday 25 May at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

Split Enz will also headline at Bluesfest 2026.
