Empire of the Sun returns to North America with the band’s largest tour to date and a reimagined live show following their sold-out Ask That God 2025 world tour. The last we saw of the Emperor he was finding his own redemption — now fans are invited to step into the next chapter with Ask That God: Afterlife 2026.
This tour presents the live show as the final installment of the Ask That God journey, where the story continues and new frontiers unfold. Expanding on the universe introduced in their latest album, the reimagined show is a celebration of imagination, transformation, and connection in a rapidly changing world.
“It feels like a very pivotal time,” says Luke Steele. “We have a new song to sing, we have to step into a new doorway — a new chapter. The world is changing. It feels like a revolution in the world and we have to unite. Love is the power weapon.”
For Empire of the Sun, Afterlife represents that doorway. At the center of the experience stands the Emperor, moving through the shifting landscape and guiding the journey forward. The live show becomes a place where sound, imagination and human connection come together — a reminder that even in a changing world, unity and creativity remain powerful forces.
Afterlife invites fans to step into that moment together — a celebration of imagination, connection and the power of music to unite.
“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
