Split Enz confirms special guests Hans Pucket to open New Zealand shows
Live Nation and Split Enz are thrilled to unveil the special guest openers on their eagerly awaited Forever Enz Tour this May.
Taking the stage for all New Zealand shows is Wellington’s own Hans Pucket. 4-piece Hans Pucket has been performing their unique style of hook-laden indie rock for some years, with latest album release ‘No Drama’ the band’s most sparkling and confident collection of danceable, thoughtful tunes yet. However, Hans Pucket’s strength lies in their live performance which is all about bringing fun to the stage!
Split Enz featuring Tim Finn, Eddie Rayner, Neil Finn, and Noel Crombie will commence their six date New Zealand national tour in the city of Hamilton at Claudelands Arena on Saturday, May 2 which is only fitting given Tim and Neil Finn hail from nearby Te Awamutu. Then, following ongoing demand from their South Island fans after their Electric Avenue reunion performance in February, Split Enz will return to Christchurch to play a headline show on Monday, May 4 at Wolfbrook Arena, followed by multiple shows in Wellington and Auckland.

Performing their first show in 18 years, playing their 1,000th gig as a band in front of 45,000 ecstatic fans at the Electric Avenue Festival on February 27, Split Enz delivered an historic show that wowed the intergenerational crowd.
‘...The moment that will stay with me will be Neil and Tim Finn singing ‘Message to My Girl,’ their voices soaring across Hagley Park, uniting all those kids with all those adults, melting every single heart that was there. Put it all in a sack and bury it in a time capsule, because this was one for the history books.’ – The Boiler Room
‘Timeless glory – Split Enz still soar ‘– The Press
