About Dream State Empire

Dream State Empire, known for their high-energy performances, deliver powerful rock riffs peppered with funk, blues, and hooks that would have Peter Pan shaking in his boots.

Dream State Empire have solidified their presence in the New Zealand music scene since 2018, earning themselves first place in the 2022 New Zealand Battle Of the Bands National Competition.

After the success of their sophomore EP Foot from the Gutter, their highly anticipated single Spirals was released in April 2024.
