Australian electronic luminaries Empire of the Sun are set to return to Europe and the UK this May, inviting audiences to witness their legendary live performances across more than 20 dates throughout the region on their 2026 Ask That God Tour. The multi-platinum duo’s extensive upcoming run will see them revisit countries from their hotly anticipated 2025 European tour – their first shows in the region in six years – and bring the show for the first time to Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Denmark and more. The tour comes to Dublin’s Fairview Park on 30th June 2026.
With a discography spanning four critically acclaimed studio albums, billions of streams, and major remixes and reimaginings – including their recent Alive (Reimagined) EP – Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore consistently push sonic boundaries, and have built a world around the project that is all their own. Their highly anticipated 2024 album Ask That God signalled a new era for the duo, arriving as their first album in eight years and blending existential themes with their quintessential imaginative and nostalgia-tinged synth-pop sound. Featuring fan favourites ‘Changes’, ‘Cherry Blossom’, and ‘Music On The Radio’, Ask That God has garnered over 500million global streams and enchanted listeners and live audiences around the world.
Empire of the Sun’s ever-captivating live shows rest on the fringe of fantasy and reality, shepherding audiences into a kaleidoscopic world of spectacular visuals, theatrical performance, and larger-than-life production. The band’s Ask That God Tour 2025 became a landmark global run, selling out headline shows across North America and Europe while showcasing the band’s most ambitious live production to date. In North America, the tour drew crowds in major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Denver and Berkeley, highlighted by a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre performance and festivals including Austin City Limits, CRSSD, and Just Like Heaven. Across Europe, Empire of the Sun continued the momentum with sold-out dates in London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan, Barcelona and Lisbon, including an instantly sold out show at Old Royal Naval College in London and major summer festival stages. The tour also extended to South America, where the band appeared at flagship festivals including Lollapalooza Brasil (São Paulo) and Estéreo Picnic (Bogotá), reaffirming Empire of the Sun’s enduring global appeal and their status as one of the most visually and sonically distinctive live acts in the world.
Playing beloved classics like ‘Walking On A Dream’, ‘We Are The People’, ‘Alive’, and ‘High and Low’, as well as tracks from Ask That God, Empire of the Sun’s upcoming European tour promises fans an immersive and unforgettable live experience.
