Empire of the Sun’s biggest tour yet hits Australasia 2027
Get ready to explore new frontiers. The electronic powerhouse Empire of the Sun is preparing to launch their most ambitious journey yet: a six-date tour across Australia and New Zealand next year, marking the largest regional run for the act.
Produced by Frontier Touring, this leg of the Ask That God: Afterlife Tour is set to deliver an experience that truly celebrates imagination, transformation, and connection in our rapidly changing world. It is more than just a concert; it is an invitation to explore the boundless universe introduced on the band’s 2024 album of the same name.
Lead vocalist Emperor Steele reflects on the upcoming tour’s vision, stating that it feels like a journey through unknowns and possibilities. “I think things are going to happen on this tour that have never happened before,” Steele remarked. “We can’t wait to take this music and this tour to new frontiers. Let’s break barriers together.”
The foundation of this journey is built on immense success. Led by Steele and producer Lord Littlemore, Empire of the Sun has amassed a staggering career footprint, with all four of their albums cracking the top 10 on the ARIA Chart. Since their debut in 2008, the duo has captured six billion streams and sold more than five million albums, earning eight ARIA Awards and two APRA Awards.
Their breakthrough hit, “Walking on a Dream,” remains a massive success, achieving a spot in the ARIA Top 10 in 2008 and further momentum on the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative spirit has also led to high-profile projects, including a recent achievement in July of this year with Danny Ocean on the single “Llego,” tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The global appeal of the music is undeniable, reflected in their status as members of the APRA AMCOS’ Billions Awards club for achieving one billion streams with a single song.
