Iconic Kiwi band Split Enz will headline Australasia’s biggest music festival in Christchurch on Friday night, with a record crowd set to descend on Hagley Park for the historic on-stage reunion at Electric Avenue.
The band, led by song-writing siblings Tim and Neil Finn, will play an 80-minute set, marking the first time they’ve performed since a one-off appearance at Melbourne’s Sound Relief concert in 2009.
Now in its 11th year, Electric Avenue has returned on an unprecedented scale, with 90,000 tickets sold to the $20 million two-day event.
The “hangar stage” at Electric Avenue was jampacked for Fat Freddy’s Drop in 2025.
