Empire of the Sun Announces First-Ever Alexandra Palace Show as part of Ask That God 2026 European Tour
Visionary electronic luminaries Empire of the Sun will illuminate London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 27th June 2026, landing on what would traditionally be Glastonbury weekend during the festival’s fallow year, offering fans missing Worthy Farm the ultimate live music fix. Delivering a spellbinding evening of anthemic soundscapes, ethereal storytelling and extraordinary visual artistry, the band will transform one of London’s most breathtaking landmarks into a world of pure imagination, perfectly suited to their larger-than-life performances.
This milestone marks Empire of the Suns first-ever appearance at Alexandra Palace, and their largest UK headline show to date. Performing in the revered, Grade II-listed hilltop palace, a site synonymous with historic, era-defining performances, the band will unveil an immersive stage production crafted specifically for the venue, transforming the space into an otherworldly realm of light, sound and spectacle.
Fresh off the immediate sell-out of their show at Labyrinth on the Thames, anticipation for their return to London is at its peak. With Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore at the creative helm, Empire of the Sun have cultivated a globally devoted fanbase through their kaleidoscopic world-building, cinematic live presence and critically celebrated discography. Their recently released album, Ask That God, ushers in a bold new chapter, one rich with conceptual depth, sonic innovation and introspective wonder.
The Alexandra Palace performance will offer a sweeping journey through Empire of the Suns multi-platinum catalogue which has amassed over 7.6 billion streams worldwide, interwoven with visionary new material from their latest album. With 34.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, fans can expect era-defining anthems including ‘Walking on a Dream’, ‘We Are The People’, ‘Alive’, and ‘High and Low’, alongside expansive new works that reflect the band’s ever-evolving creative spirit, brought to life through their trademark cinematic visuals and immersive stage production.
