Exclusive: Empire Of The Sun Reveal Huge Plans For Live Shows

Empire of the Sun have revealed ambituous plans for their first live shows during this afternoon's Webchat Wednesday on Gigwise.

Responding to fans questions about when the duo would be entering the live arena Nick Littlemore announced that the shows would be “like masquerade balls”.

Describing the ethos behind the shows Littlemore said, “We are getting together a sort of army of colour. What you'll need to do is create these great costumes and send them into a database. It's a blissful army where we are all equal.”

He added: “The gigs will be like masquerade balls, where the band and the fans are all the same. You create your own cosmic designs.

“Backgrounds (to the stage) shot in actual jungle, possibly Cambodia, South East Asia or Mexico, then remade in the studio, a massive black room – the snow globe (from the bands album artwork) sitting in the eye of a skull.”

Littlemore also revealed that the scale of production may also restrict them from playing at any festivals this summer.

He explained: “No festivals. Our show is far too big, it takes 3 days to set up plus the animals and pyrotechnics etc...”

Empire of the Sun's debut album 'Walking On A Dream' was released this week in the UK.
