Last night’s Empire of the Sun concert in Melbourne felt like stepping into a surreal dream, one where the lines between reality and fantasy blurred under the glow of kaleidoscopic lights. The duo, with their otherworldly presence, summoned a strange magic that pulled the audience into a vivid, pulsating realm. Each song felt like a journey through a landscape of sound—haunting, exhilarating, and sometimes unnervingly beautiful. As the crowd sang along to “Walking on a Dream,” it was as if we were all part of a collective trance, enchanted by the haunting melodies. The atmosphere crackled with an electric energy, leaving a lingering sense of wonder and a touch of unease—an unforgettable night that danced on the edge of the extraordinary and the bizarre.
