About

EMPIRE OF THE SUN, the visionary Australian electronic pop duo formed by Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, have been making waves across the globe for over a decade with their phenomenal live shows and anthemic smash hits, becoming one of Australia’s most successful musical exports.

Renowned for their lush, surreal visuals and immersive live performances, EMPIRE OF THE SUN have created a kaleidoscopic world blending theatrical costumes, dance-infused synth-pop, and cinematic storytelling.

Their breakout hits include “Walking on a Dream” and “We Are the People.” They have sold over 5 million albums worldwide, won 8 ARIA Awards and 2 APRA Awards, while their debut single “Walking on a Dream” has surpassed 1 billion streams.

Their latest album, Ask That God (2024), features singles such as “Changes,” “Music on the Radio,” “Cherry Blossom,” and “AEIOU” (with Pnau). The album release coincided with a sold-out world tour, with headline shows in Los Angeles, New York, Mexico City, and London, alongside European dates and major festival appearances, including Rock en Seine near Paris.

ROI TURBO

Since their inception, Roi Turbo has established themselves as a prominent electronic, dance-rock duo that blurs the lines between standard genre conceptions. Their grasp of
groove-driven sounds and global influences, juxtaposed with their detail-oriented production style, results in tracks grounded in rhythm and contemporary sonic identity. The South African duo, composed of brothers Conor and Benjamin McCarthy, has released two EPs and recently wrapped a world tour supporting Empire of the Sun. Their music is an electrifying combination of styles, merging a variety of influences to produce a unique sonic fingerprint that is captivating, irresistible, and built for the dance floor.
