Australian alt-electro pioneers Empire Of The Sun (Luke Steele & Nick Littlemore) have been making waves across the world with phenomenal live shows and anthemic hits for the past decade. The band has carved out its own niche with its dynamic live performances, touring in more than 100 cities across the globe and standout performances at festivals such as Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, Outside Lands and Governors Ball. Their 2015 U.S. West Coast tour culminated with a spectacular sold-out headline performance at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in front of more than 17,000 fans.
Empire Of The Sun has amassed nearly two billion total streams and has reached multi-Platinum status with the global singles “We Are The People”, “Alive”, “High & Low” and “Walking On A Dream”, which is certified Platinum in the U.S.
Since its release in 2009, Walking On A Dream has sold nearly two million copies worldwide, won eight ARIA Awards (including Album of The Year, Single of the Year and Best Group) and chalked up two BRIT nominations (including Best International Album). The band followed their debut with the release of two more full-length albums – 2013’s Ice On The Dune and 2016’s Two Vines, selling a combined three million albums, accumulating more than 650 million streams and more than 300 million YouTube views over the course of their career.
