Alt-dance group Crooked Colours will join as special guests on Empire of the Sun’s Melbourne and Brisbane dates.
Crooked Colours are the live electronic dance act from Fremantle, Western Australia. Forming in 2013 the band have gone on to release three critically acclaimed albums Vera in 2017, Langata in 2019 and Tomorrows in 2022. These albums include 4 x platinum award singles ‘Flow’, ‘I Hope You Get It‘, ‘Do It Like You’ and ‘Love Language‘ as well as 6 further gold accredited singles in Australia.
Well known for their high energy live performances, the band has toured extensively internationally including numerous internationally recognised festivals such as Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Life Is Beautiful, Splendour In The Grass, Spilt Milk & Rhythm & Vines to name a few. The band have amassed over 1 billion combined streams across all streaming platforms as well as sold-out headline tours around the world.
Joining Empire of the Sun on all Australian dates is alt-electro duo Sumner. Comprised of Chloe Wilson and Jack McLaine, the Tassie pair have garnered critical acclaim for their captivating melodies, intricate electronic production, and authentic lyrics.
Catching the world’s attention in 2018 with their self-released material, Sumner signed to Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes’ (PNAU) label Lab78 soon after. Releasing their single ‘Stranded’ in 2021, this marked the beginning of a series of singles co-written and produced by PNAU, that propelled the Tasmanian duo to new heights. With over 2.5 million streams and heavy airplay, the song quickly became triple J’s most-played track for over a week.
Sumner has recently supported acclaimed artists such as SAFIA, PNAU and Boo Seeka and has performed at Party In The Paddock, For The Love and Wine Machine, leaving audiences wanting more of their addictive live show.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
