In the past, Australia’s own Empire of the Sun has had its share of bad luck, what with canceled shows and keeping members on board. But after finally making their U.S. debut last August, suffice it to say, things have remained pretty positive. Keeping that good fortune going, the synthpop sensation from Down Under will return stateside later this fall. Following a couple festival dates in early August, EOTS will arrive in America on September 8th for a seven-date run, including gigs at Virgin Mobile FreeFest and Austin City Limits. Miami Horror and Mayer Hawthorne & The County will provide support on various dates. Interested? Check out the entire tour schedule below.
