Here’s the latest I could compile about Split Enz from recent reporting and releases:
- Live reunion and tours: Split Enz announced a national tour in 2026, marking their first performances together in many years. The tour includes shows in Australia and New Zealand with a lineup featuring Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Noel Crombie, and Eddie Rayner, plus rotating members. This marks a high-profile return as they preview new material and classic hits.[2][4][10]
- Upcoming and recent performances: They kicked off in early 2026 with shows in New Zealand and Australia, including dates in Hamilton, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and more. Some shows sold out quickly, underscoring strong audience interest in the reunion.[3][2]
- New material and releases: In addition to touring, the band has teased or released new material around their 2026 album projects, with reports suggesting a new studio project could accompany the live shows. Expect performances of classic tracks alongside new songs.[4][2]
- Media coverage: The reunion has been covered by major outlets in Australia and New Zealand, including TV and press profiles featuring band members discussing the return and the creative direction for the tour and new music.[10][3]
Illustration: a timeline of their 2026 activity shows the February Christchurch Electric Avenue Festival appearance followed by a broader Australia-NZ tour through May 2026, with press and TV coverage documenting the reunion’s progress.[4][10]
