Gig: Split Enz

Split Enz Tour History Doesn’t Repeat. It just gets better.

Next March Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner, Noel Crombie and Nigel Griggs will bring the inimitable style of Split Enz to arena stages in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. In 2006 Split Enz reformed for a tour of Australia that attracted universal praise. “The 12,000-strong sell-out crowd was delighted by the pop smorgasbord on offer.” The Age, Melbourne “The Finns’ vocals have lost none of their power, the rhythm section really hums and Rayner’s keyboard antics are more dexterous than ever.” Sunday Mail, Adelaide “The set was a dream run through a decade of golden hits…” Courier Mail, Brisbane “…the Enz wasted no time showing their true colours haven’t faded, much to the delight of an excited, eclectic crowd.” The Advertiser, Adelaide It has also been confirmed that Noel Crombie will once again take up the double mantle of band member and stylist/set designer.
