Empire of the Sun Announce Lineup for Debut Chrysalis Festival With Disclosure, The Flaming Lips & More

Empire of the Sun have announced a mighty lineup for the debut edition of the group’s Chrysalis festival, happening this May 14-16.

The bill includes three Empire of the Sun sets, a DJ set from Disclosure, legendary weirdos The Flaming Lips, avant-garde pop duo Magdalena Bay, indie artist Del Water Gap, DJ Tennis and more, with performances happening across three stages. See the complete phase one lineup below, with more artists to be announced in the coming months.

Chrysalis will happen at at the The Sculpture Gardens in the beachside town of Puerto Los Cabos and is being produced in partnership with 100x Hospitality. In addition to the music, the event will offer yoga, meditation and other wellness programs along with optional off-site excursions to the local, desert and beyond. Tickets are available here.

“Chrysalis is about imagination and rebirth,” Empire of the Sun’s Luke Steele says in a statement. “This festival is designed to be spirit immersive – where people leave transformed. The festival’s story focuses on the circle of symbols – the door, the egg, key, wings and bell. It’s in the Chrysalis that these symbols communicate to us like a secret language – The Door, the threshold. The Key, the revelation. The Bell, awakening. Wings, the future self and The Egg, beginnings.”

Later in May, Empire of the Sun will also headline Lightning in a Bottle, happening May 20-24 in Southern California. These shows follow the 2024 release of the fourth Empire of the Sun studio album, Ask That God. Late last month, the group also released a remix of its 2013 classic “Alive” by Brazilian producer Alok.
