In January 2012, New Empire performed in New Zealand at the annual Parachute Music Festival along with The Almost, The Rocket Summer, Relient K and Casting Crowns.
Kyle Lane and Jeremy Fowler played a secret acoustic show for Easterfest 2013 at Bon Amici Cafe.
New Empire's final tour, "Give Me the World," concluded at the Factory Theatre in Sydney on 24 October, where they played to a sold-out crowd.
The show also had a special guest performance: Peter Gillies, their manager and former guitarist, played with New Empire for their song "Across the Oceans."
I can't begin to describe our love and respect for our fans and friends - you who have shared in this journey with us around the world - from road tripping in an RV around North America rotating night driving shifts and trying not to die, to touring with many artists we admire, to unforgettable weekends camping at Parachute and Easterfest festival communities back home.
We're also really excited to be partnering with Love Mercy Foundation[12] who are an incredible charity organisation doing phenomenal work changing lives in Uganda, Africa.
"[citation needed]New Empire's songs "Across The Oceans" and "A Little Braver" were both featured as original soundtracks in the Korean drama Uncontrollably Fond, which aired in 2016.
