Empire of the Sun at The Greek Theatre

You could argue that "Walking on a Dream" marked a before and after in music. It's a track that showcases the best that can come out of a combination of dream pop and electronic music. It's not that other musicians hadn't put two and two together at that point. The difference with Empire of the Sun is that they're a duo that's composed essentially of a DJ and a rock performer. They can record these songs on the regular in a way that a rock band or a DJ couldn't. At the time, another element that was unique was the original lyrics. A lot of DJs at the time were using well-known tracks with added beats to get the crowds up off their feet.

Of course, there's another element, which is a personal touch of Empire of the Sun, and it happens to be the reason why even mild fans of the duo are selling out these concerts. It's the theatrics that have truly made this duo a mainstay. You can be a fair-weather fan only knowing "We Are the People" and "Walking on a Dream" yet still have a blast at this show. The main reason for this are the visuals and the stage design. Many people will be coming out just to see the outfits these guys are going to be wearing. Ultimately, this is one of those shows that just has so many layers to it. At the end of it all, you're going to realize you immersed yourself in a multisensory experience that's hard to replicate.

The three rings of the Greek Theatre at U.C. Berkeley are going to be accessible with your general admission pass. Since that's the case, you know that you need to arrive early on Saturday, May 3rd, to have a chance to find spots near the stage or in the middle of the theater. It's going to be a great experience regardless of where you're standing. Click the get tickets button now and start planning your trip to this event today!
