the band had a great initial album & the show they put on was fantastic. the backup dancers & costumes were the best i've seen.

About
Australian electro-pop duo Empire of the Sun possess a well-proven ability to entertain. Known for their epic performances chock-full of production value and artistic flare, the band treated fans to one of the most exciting and synergistic concert experiences of the 2013 summer festival circuit. Accompanied on stage by a troupe of costumed dancers and state-of-the-art visuals, Empire of the Sun wowed ticket holders across the US and Europe with their energetic sets of danceable hits like "Alive" from 2013's Ice on the Dune.
Empire of the Sun began as the side project of musicians Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore of Pnau. With the success of their 2008 debut album Walking on a Dream, the project became a focal point for the duo, resulting in their first live performances as a band in 2009. In 2013, their sophomore album Ice on the Dune reached No. 3 in Australia and No. 20 on the US Billboard 200, with lead single "Alive" receiving the remix treatment by some of the world's top DJs including David Guetta, Zedd and DJ Tiesto. With their electrifying performance style, adrenalized synths, and electro beats, the duo is not afraid to push the limits of showmanship, leaving fans eager for their 2014 performances.

by NeverMindSense on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New YorkI have been anticipating Empire of the Sun's North American debut since I heard their album back in 2008 and unfortunately I do not r think they brought their A-game to that show. There was tons of flash and even bootleg Lady Gagas dancing across the stage, but even that was not enough to keep me there for the whole set. The dancing was not tight, the lead singer could have pretended to play guitar a LITTLE better and the DJ in the beginning was just not my cup of tea. The show was for a young crowd whose attention span could not possibly allow them to pay attention to details. I'm sorry BUT you don't make a North AMerican debut in the US, particularly New York CIty, and not come with the BEST. As much as it pains me to say this show was no more than average.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Empire of the sun only played for an hour
by plaxcio on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New YorkEmpire of the Sun has great art direction and provides an excellent visual as well as auditory experience but they only played for about an hour so it didn't really feel like a full show.

And if you enjoy the music, go see them live. Unexpected, enchanting, wonderful. Even the opening dj was pretty good and i kept thinking, damn I wish this was a dance party. Go see these people
Rating: 5 out of 5 Incredible show
by Fonz858 on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New YorkThis show was truly amazing. The band music was true to the CD yet they improved every song for better live attitude. The whole show was much more than what other concerts end up being (just a couple of guys playing instruments). Empire of the sun takes you to a different universe.
Rating: 5 out of 5by Mixdown on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New York I loved seeing Empire Of The Sun, they really know how to throw a show, from the dancers, to the trippy background, and the singer, everything was really amazing. I would recommend this to anyone even people who do not even like this genre. They are amazing and hopefully will make it big soon.

by baffledgrl on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New YorkEmpire of the sun really went over the top for you in this show. Bright colors, colorful costumes, costume change for the dancers every song... empire didn't just put on your standard show, they put on an epic performance that you will never forget! The only thing is they took FOREVER to get on stage! they didn't perform until 10:15pm! And the show was short, only an hour. But what do you expect? They only have on album thus far. =)

by lexig on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New YorkTerminal 5 is one of the most unorganized venus I've been to. No one knows where the front of the line is, the mobs of people cutting the line! UGH Horrible!! But once I got in there it was amazing! The opening act DJ set was great, but I am nit sure why there was a lady in a gold swim was just sitting on the stage. Empire wassssssssssssssssss so awing. They had so much energy and interacted with the crowd. omg Best show of the summer!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 epic
by rachelv2 on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New Yorkgreat energy. amazing costumes and production. the venue was absolutely fantastic - good sound and enough space to feel comfortable but still in a big crowd. it was totally worth the 3hr30mins trip that we had to take to nyc to see them.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 8/9/10Terminal 5 - New York They had a great appearance on stage, the lights, the dancing, everything was perfect. The only thing stopping them from five stars is their inability to get much of a reaction from the crowd.
