Formed in New Zealand in 1972 before relocating to Australia in 1975, Split Enz is widely regarded as one of the most important antipodean groups of the last 5 decades. The band’s last live concert in New Zealand was on March 2008 at Vector Arena (now called Spark Arena). Split Enz were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005.

During their recording career Split Enz released a string of era-defining hits across the late 70’s and early 80’s including I Got You, I See Red, Message To My Girl, Six Months In A Leaky Boat, History Never Repeats, One Step Ahead, and so many more. Their Number 1, 1980 album release, True Colours, achieved multiple-platinum staus in NZ and was certified 5 x platinum in Australia, selling over 250,000 copies.

This year marks the 51st Year Anniversary of the Split Enz’s debut album Mental Notes. That album, along with the band’s entire catalogue is part of the Enzyclopedia re-release series – the first of which was released in November 2025 via Chrysalis Records globally and Warner Music locally in Australia and NZ.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness Split Enz live – with live line up featuring Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner and Noel Crombie plus Matt Eccles on drums and James Milne on bass.
