Split Enz announce reunion: full 2026 tour details
It's been 50 years since Split Enz's debut album. Now they're getting the band back together for a string of arena dates in next year.
www.abc.net.auHere’s what’s known about Split Enz and the Time + Tide era based on recent reporting:
- Split Enz have been publicly linked to a reunion and a 2026 Australian tour, with initial announcements highlighting arena dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide, and a kickoff at Bluesfest in April 2026. This marks a notable revival of the band after a long hiatus, aligning with fan interest in revisiting their 1980s catalog, including tracks from Time and Tide and other hits.[1]
- Coverage indicates that the 2026 run is framed as the Forever Enz/Time + Tide period, with multiple outlets reporting on reunion performances and a broader Australian tour schedule through May 2026, suggesting the shows will feature classic Split Enz material from across their career.[3][5]
- The band’s 1982 Time and Tide era remains a touchstone for fans, with the album itself continuing to be referenced in context with the band’s live performances and retrospective discussions around their late-1970s to early-1980s peak.[4][10]
