-
Split Enz has been actively touring in 2026, with recent confirmed shows in Australia and New Zealand as part of a broader reunion run. The group recently announced guests for their tours and kicked off dates in early May 2026, continuing through multiple capitals in Australia and New Zealand. This marks one of their most expansive live runs in years.

A key milestone of the 2026 tour is the band’s 1,000th gig, underscoring their ongoing reunion momentum and live appeal. The lineup for the current cycle includes Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Noel Crombie, Eddie Rayner, with Matt Eccles on drums and James Milne on bass, reflecting a stable core with new members stepping in for live performances.
-
Coverage from 7.30 (ABC) and other outlets confirms the reunion’s emphasis on classic hits alongside previews of new material, with shows ranging from Hamilton and Christchurch to Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, Sydney, and more. The tour also features collaborations and guest artists that enhance the live experience.

Historical context: Split Enz’s reunion has been a recurring theme in the 2020s, including a Christchurch Electric Avenue appearance and subsequent touring announcements, with media outlets highlighting the band’s distinctive indie-pop/art-rock era and enduring fanbase.
