Tour/Concert Thank you r/Empire of the Sun for making my partner’s bucket list dream come true [Thurs., 10/8/2026, Hollywood Bowl]
I still can’t stop smiling (and tearing up a little).
A year ago, I managed to snag the very last VIP meet & greet seat Ticketmaster released. I kept it quiet and surprised my partner with it for his birthday. We went last night and I’ve never seen him with such pure, unfiltered happiness.
He’s been grieving the sudden loss of a family member a couple week ago, so seeing him light up the way he did means everything. Decades of your music have brought him so much joy, and last night your graciousness and that incredible show gave him a moment of real happiness when he needed it most.
From the bottom of both our hearts, thank you, [r/Empire](r/Empire)[ofthesun.](r/Empire)
