Latest News About Split Enz - Time + Tide Tour

Here are the latest updates on Split Enz and their Time + Tide/Forever Enz tour, drawn from recent announcements and coverage:

• Split Enz announced a reunion and a 2026 Forever Enz Tour across Australia, marking their first full Australian tour in two decades. The news surfaced in late 2025, with dates targeting spring and autumn 2026 in major Australian venues, and a festival appearance to kick things off. This includes Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide stops, as part of a broader comeback plan.[1]

• The band confirmed participation in the Electric Avenue Festival in Christchurch, New Zealand, as part of their reunion run, with additional shows in New Zealand surrounding the Australian leg. The festival appearance aligned with the 50th anniversary celebrations of their early catalog.[2]

• Reports in early 2026 indicated the Christchurch showcase was followed by a broader Australia run dubbed the Forever Enz Tour, featuring Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Noel Crombie, Eddie Rayner, and accompanying musicians. The run was described as their first reunion performances in many years, signaling a substantive return to live touring for the band.[3][4]

• In early May 2026, media outlets and program segments highlighted ongoing tour momentum, including additional dates added in response to demand, with multiple nights in Melbourne and Sydney. These reports framed the shows as a long-awaited comeback, drawing on a legacy of hits such as I Got You, History Never Repeats, and Message to My Girl.[9][3]

• Public-facing updates from band members’ channels in 2026, including newsletters and official sites, noted specific show dates and presales (e.g., Auckland/Wellington options in New Zealand and Australian dates), underscoring a structured, multi-country return rather than a one-off event.[4]

Notes and context:

• The Forever Enz Tour is described as Split Enz’s first major tour in many years, with a focus on Australia and New Zealand. While early reports emphasized Australian arena dates and New Zealand festival appearances, exact lineups and ticketing details have evolved as dates were added or moved through late 2025 into 2026.[1][2][3][4]

• If you’re planning to see them live, consider checking:

  • Official band channels and the Forever Enz Tour page for the latest show confirmations, add-ons, and presale information.
  • Ticketing platforms for country-specific on-sale dates and seating options, as demand led to updates in some markets.[4]

Would you like me to pull the most current, country-specific dates and ticketing links for your location (Dallas, TX area or broader US access), or compile a concise timeline of confirmed shows and likely venues as of now? I can also track developments for potential US appearances or festival slots if you’d like.
