EMPIRE OF THE SUN BRING IMMERSIVE ASK THAT GOD TOUR BACK TO NORTH AMERICA
FOLLOWS ACCLAIMED SOLD-OUT SPRING U.S. LEG
Inimitable global artist Empire of the Sun is bringing its otherworldly Ask That God Tour experience back to North America. Following a sold-out spring stateside run, the electronic pop giants kick off the new fall 2025 leg on September 23 in Salt Lake City, sweeping through iconic amphitheaters and venues across the U.S., as well as playing both weekends of the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October. Tickets are on sale now. Go here for info and find the band’s full itinerary below.
Empire of the Sun are currently celebrating the long-awaited release of their critically acclaimed fourth album, Ask That God, a kaleidoscopic dive into the duo’s sonically and spiritually limitless world that only keeps expanding. In January, they unveiled a digital deluxe edition, released via EMI AUS / Capitol Records, that came with two never-before-heard tracks: glistening synth-pop dream “Dark Secrets” and “Somebody’s Son” featuring Lindsey Buckingham. Billboard named the latter a best new dance track and wrote, “The song gives off Christine McVie vibes at their airy brightest, with the song essentially functioning as a hymn to California.” Listen here.
More recently, Empire of the Sun shared a six-track remix album emphasizing the LP’s euphoric qualities via club-ready collaborations with a global cast of producers: DJ Tennis, Vintage Culture, Adam Ten, TELYKAST, Solomun, and LP Giobbi. Listen here. And, of course, the band’s been bringing to life Ask That God’s visually rich universe night after night on tour via elaborate costumes, wild stage sets, and bursting imagery. For a glimpse, revisit the videos for the album’s singles “Cherry Blossom,” “Changes,” and “Music on the Radio.”
The EU/UK leg of the Ask That God Tour begins July 23 in Lisbon, Portugal, and includes festival stops along the way. Empire of the Sun have already proven that they transcend borders, having amassed over 8 billion streams and sold more than 5.5 million albums worldwide. With timeless songwriting and a palpable openness powering Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore’s creative vision, it’s no surprise that Empyrean classic “We Are The People” is back on global charts 17 years after its initial release. Revisit We Are The People (Reimagined) remix set here, and catch that hit alongside Ask That God at a date below.
