What is Empire of the Sun?
Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce that Australia’s own Empire of the Sun , one of the country’s most visionary music projects, will bring the Ask That God: Afterlife Tour to Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2027 . The six-date run will be the band’s largest tour of the region to date.
When Australian audiences last saw the Emperor in 2024, he was searching for redemption on the Ask That God Tour . In 2027, fans are invited to step into the next chapter with the Ask That God: Afterlife Tour .
“Ask That God: Afterlife feels like a tour of unknowns and possibilities — new visions, new plateaus, fragile breakthroughs. I think things are going to happen on this tour that have never happened before. We can’t wait to take this music and this tour to new frontiers. Let’s break barriers together.” - Luke Steele
Ask That God: Afterlife is the final live instalment of the Ask That God journey, expanding the universe introduced on the band’s latest album. The reimagined show celebrates imagination, transformation and connection in a rapidly changing world.
