Empire of the Sun: Ask That God — Afterlife Tour

Empire of the Sun — the Australian duo of Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, known for elaborate costumes and the 2008 hit "Walking on a Dream" — bring their "Ask That God: Afterlife" North American tour to the TD Pavilion at Highmark Mann (the Mann Center) in Philadelphia on September 5, 2026. The run continues the band's run of festival-scale electronic-pop shows built around theatrical visuals and synth-driven anthems, with tickets first going on sale in March 2026. Polo & Pan and Midnight Generation open. The Mann is an outdoor amphitheater, so the show goes on rain or shine, and the venue enforces a 12x6x12-inch bag policy, so leave large bags at home. Expect a set drawing on the band's catalog of festival staples alongside newer material, in an open-air setting suited to their big, sunset-friendly visual style.
