Empire of the Sun expand tour, including NYC's Pier 26 (dates)

by Bill Pearis

Empire of the Sun @ Bonnaroo 2013 (more by Dana [distortion] Distortion)

Is it an ’80s fantasy movie? Ice Capades? No it’s campy megapop band Empire of the Sun, whose second album, Ice on the Dune, manages an interesting feat: eliciting a nostalgic vibe without being nostalgic to anything in particular. (Also, it’s hard to deny they know their way around a hook.) The band have been on the festival circuit all summer, having played Bonnaroo and other stops around the country. Before they head back to the third moon of Qaarsdar (or Australia), they’ve added a show happening in NYC at Hudson River Park’s Pier 26 on September 5. Tickets to that show go on sale Friday (7/26) at noon.

Empire of the Sun tour dates are listed below.
