This just in…

Empire of the Sun to play Parklife 2009! Their first live shows ever… I can already hear the desperate cries from the untold masses of international fans – “what about us!?”

The Parklife Festival tours around lucky Oz from 26 Sept – 5 Oct. Full lineup on the website, but it looks incredible thus far – Junior Boys, Mstrkrft, Lady Sovereign, Crystal Castles, Little Boots, Metric, Tiga, The Rapture, more, more, more… phew!

“Emperor Steele” claims the show will be epic:  “...full of colours, dinosaur-teeth chomping at the valleys of future. It will be more outrageous than the scents of imagination and will take the audience on a journey to another world.” (we can’t quite decipher this, but it sounds not half bad.)

“Lord Littlemore”, who won’t be appearing in the live shows, says that Empire created their music as a celebration and that the live show “is an exciting new chapter in the Empire journey”. (makes slightly more sense)
