ABOUT EMPIRE OF THE SUN

Empire of the Sun is one of Australia’s most visionary music projects, created by Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore. Since their landmark debut album Walking On A Dream—featuring the global anthems “Walking On A Dream” and “We Are The People”—Empire of the Sun has captivated millions with its euphoric fusion of electronic pop and surreal performance.

Follow-up albums Ice on the Dune and Two Vines delivered fan favorites like “Alive,” “DNA,” “High and Low” and “Way to Go,” alongside landmark performances at festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. After an eight-year hiatus, 2024’s Ask That God marked a bold new chapter, led by singles such as “Changes,” “Music on the Radio” and “Cherry Blossom,” and supported by a brand-new, sold-out world tour.

With more than five million albums sold, six billion streams, eight ARIA Awards, and two APRA Awards, Empire of the Sun stands as a global cultural force. Their debut album Walking on a Dream achieved triple Platinum in Australia, and Platinum and Gold certification in both the UK and the USA.
