\nFrontier Touring is thrilled to announce that Australia\u2019s own Empire of the Sun, one of the country\u2019s most visionary music projects, will bring the Ask That God: Afterlife Tour to Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2027.

\u201cAsk That God: Afterlife feels like a tour of unknowns and possibilities \u2014 new visions, new plateaus, fragile breakthroughs. I think things are going to happen on this tour that have never happened before. We can\u2019t wait to take this music and this tour to new frontiers. Let\u2019s break barriers together.\u201d \u2013 Luke Steele<\/p>\n
