Empire Of The Sun Details Inaugural Chrysalis Festival

Australian electronic duo Empire of the Sun detailed their inaugural Chrysalis Festival set to take place at the Sculpture Gardens in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The event going down May 14 – 16, 2026 will see performances from the hosts, Disclosure (DJ set), The Flaming Lips and more.

The three-day festival lineup also includes Magdalena Bay, Del Water Gap, DJ Tennis, Midnight Generation, Walker & Royce, Adanowsky, DJ Heartstring, Aaron Hibell, RIO KOSTA, Sofia Kourtesis, and Roi Turbo.

Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele commented further on the festival:

“Chrysalis is about imagination and rebirth. 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.

It’s about creating a journey through music, art and spirit. In a world that is overflowing with distortion, it’s time to let yourself be carried away.”

Tickets are on sale now.
