The long, winding roads that brought Powderfinger back together at last

The band is getting back together.

Powderfinger has announced its return 16 years after the band members went their separate ways following a triumphant 2010 farewell tour.

The band revealed on Monday it will take to the road in 2027, with a raft of dates announced for Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Cairns.

What happens when the atomic bonds of a band like Powderfinger cease to exist? 

And how did their paths bring them back together?
