How to Get Tickets to Empire of the Sun’s New Festival Chrysalis
For those who live and breathe the festival circuit, the announcement of Empire of the Sun's Chrysalis is less like a simple event listing and more like the opening chord of a long-awaited symphony. This isn't just another date on the calendar; it's a three-day destination experience set for May 14th-16th, 2026, meticulously curated within the lush, secluded sanctuary of Iskali Gardens at Hotel El Ganzo in San José del Cabo, Baja California.The choice of location is a masterstroke, transforming the typical festival grind into a pilgrimage. Imagine the sonic landscapes of 'Walking on a Dream' and 'Alive' echoing against a backdrop of desert meeting sea, a far cry from the muddy fields and overcrowded main stages that have come to define the modern festival experience.This move by Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore feels like a natural evolution, a callback to the era when events like Coachella in its infancy or the original Burning Man promised not just a lineup, but a transformative journey. The very name, Chrysalis, suggests a metamorphosis—a shedding of the ordinary for a weekend of curated spectacle.For the dedicated music fan, the vinyl collector who savors the album as a complete art piece, Chrysalis promises to be that same concept writ large across a landscape. Securing tickets will be the modern-day grail quest, a digital scramble that will separate the casual listeners from the devoted acolytes.It’s the kind of ambitious, genre-defying project that the music industry desperately needs, a reminder that live performance can still be magical, unpredictable, and deeply personal. The airfare to Cabo will be just the beginning; the real currency will be the experience of witnessing one of electronic pop's most visionary acts build their entire world for a weekend, a live album unfolding in real-time under the Mexican sun.
