I don’t have live access to current news right now, but I can share what’s known about Split Enz and the True Colours era and point you to how to find the latest Melbourne-focused updates.
Key context about True Colours and Melbourne
- True Colours is Split Enz’s landmark 1980 album, recorded in Melbourne and later celebrated with anniversary editions and reissues. This ties the Melbourne connection closely to the album’s history and tours.[3][5][6]
- The band has periodically re-emerged for tours and anniversary events, with recent tour activity announced in 2025 for Australia in 2026, including Melbourne dates as part of a broader Australian arena tour. For the latest Melbourne date specifics, you’ll want to check official tour calendars or major Australian/New Zealand music press outlets.[2]
Where to look for the latest Melbourne-specific news
- Official Split Enz or Neil Finn channels (artist websites, social media) for tour dates, venue announcements, and ticketing for Melbourne shows.
- Australian music press and national outlets (e.g., ABC News Australia, music blogs) often publish event confirmations, lineup details, and venue information for big tours.
- Melbourne venues and promoter pages (e.g., Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Entertainment Centre) will list event dates, on-sale times, and support acts if applicable.
Illustrative snapshot
- A 2025 announcement detailed a 2026 Australia tour including Melbourne dates as part of a broader arena run, signaling active planning and international interest around the True Colours-era material in live performance. This helps explain why you’re seeing Melbourne-related queries tied to Split Enz and True Colours.[2]
