EMPIRE OF THE ARIAS!

It was certainly Empire Of The Sun’s night at this year’s ARIA Awards. Four ARIA Award wins and a mind blowing performance of Walking On A Dream can only mean one thing, they are THE Empire Of the 2009 ARIA Awards!

A spectacular set design of blue pillars and an enormous sun surrounded the band and dancers as they performed to a very appreciative crowd. The performance ended in dramatic style with a shower of pyrotechnics.

Empire Of The Sun won the sought after:
