The Australian and New Zealand band are set to reform for a world tour 11 years after they split.

Singer Neil Finn and bass player Nick Seymour are currently seeking drummers in Australia, with more auditions planned for New Zealand and the US.

The band's original drummer, Paul Hester, committed suicide in 2005.

In November 1996, the band performed in front of 120,000 people outside Sydney Opera House for their farewell concert.
