The Australian leg of the Forever Enz Tour sees the addition of a brand new date for Brisbane on Saturday 16 May at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

About Split Enz:
Formed in New Zealand in 1972 before relocating to Australia in 1975, Split Enz is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential antipodean groups of the last 5 decades.
During their recording career Split Enz released a string of era-defining hits across the late ’70s and early ’80s including I Got You, I See Red, Message To My Girl, Six Months In A Leaky Boat, History Never Repeats, Dirty Creature, One Step Ahead, and so many more.
Their 1980 album, “True Colours”, achieved multiple-platinum status in NZ and Australia, remaining in the No 1 position for over two months. It also went platinum in Canada and Holland, and the first single, I Got You, reached No 7 in the UK charts.
Split Enz made history by co-headlining with Roxy Music the Sweetwaters Music Festival in 1981, playing to 70,000 ecstatic Kiwi fans.
