cat empire tour 2022

Our new single ‘La Gracia’ is out on June 28. The song was inspired by Lazaro’s first trip to Spain as a member of the band, co-written by Felix and featuring vocals by Grace Barbe singing in her native Creole alongside Melbourne flamenco artists Arte Canela.

“It became a very melodic song that we celebrated to. It’s an ode to our musical adventures and influences from a country we love touring in. It’s going to be a killer live.”

– Felix

“I was completely captivated by the dynamic exchange between the incredible Spanish crowds and The Cat Empire on stage during each concert in every city. It was truly something special. What started as a small idea quickly evolved into a song shaped by the creative contributions of each band member, dedicated to a remarkable country that has shown us immense love. Thank you, Spain. Olé!”

– Lazaro

Eclectic ska band from Melbourne, Australia, The Cat Empire have gained fans worldwide with their energetic blend of ska, jazz, funk, gypsy swing and latin sounds, having started life in 1999.

The band’s first form was as a trio, featuring keyboardist Oliver McGill, double bassist Ryan Monro and percussionist Felix Riebl. They were soon joined by trumpet player Harry James Angus, DJ Jamshid Khadiwala and Will Hull-Brown on the drums. The Cat Empire quickly made a big name for themselves on the live circuit, having started off playing at Melbourne (Australia) clubs before then playing at a number of major festivals, including Melbourne Festival, Edinburgh Festival in Scotland and WOMAD in England. Having already developed an international reputation, they released their self-titled debut album in 2003, which gained heavy airplay on BBC Radio 1.

Their second record followed in 2005, with “Two Shoes,” a huge critical and commercial success, peaking at number one in the Australian charts. Recorded in Havana, Cuba, the album displayed a strong latin-jazz influence, displaying an ever-diverse sound. It was with their 2007 release, “So Many Nights,” that Cat Empire had found their distinct style, creating an endlessly enthusiastic, party-driven record that made them one of the most exciting bands on the airwaves.

The band toured extensively in support of the record before returning to the studio for their fifth release, “Cinema,” issued in June 2010, offering a more mature, yet somewhat restrained sound. The band continued to perform at major festivals, but also embarked on a serious of intimate gigs in 2011, celebrating their 10th anniversary of their first live performance. They had also travelled extensively across North America and Europe in support of their album. In May 2013, their sixth album, “Steal the Light,” found further international critical acclaim, continuing Cat Empire’s popularity both at home and overseas.

Live reviews

We've been watching the Cat Empire since their early days of free concerts at St Kilda. When we first saw Cat Empire they were playing on a stage at the back of St Kilda beach in Melbourne with the fronds of the palm trees overhead. Their lyrics were a perfect homage to a blistering summer's day with lines about the trams and St Kilda. We have now been away from Australia for nearly six years, two and half of which have ben in London. In that time we have seen four times but while they were their superb entertaining selves the concerts never recaptured the magic of those balmy Melbourne nights. Enter the summer concert series at Somerset House. Such an amazing venue for a concert with the river behind the building and the elegant Georgian facades surrounding the square making it feel like an intimate and secret space. Add a liberal dose of sunshine and heat and to complete the mix a cheery contingent of happy Aussie fans seeing their beloved Cats once more.

Families had dressed themselves and their children in Cats tee shirts, numerous cat's ears were being worn with pride, with the tongue firmly planted in the cheek and so many classic and fun tropical shirts in all colours of the rainbow boded for a great night ahead. The concert was opened by Lucinda Bell and her orchestra who performed an amazing set that got the whole crowd in foot tapping mood. Lucinda has a magnificent voice which she uses to great effect. The harp was a nice touch and added even more class to an already classy setup. And then, a short while later, out came the Cats. Opening with Still Young they had the entire crowd dancing in moments. Hands were thrown in the air with many enthusiasts singing along. By the time they got to Sly the whole place was on the move with the dancing get livelier and the energy level getting higher and higher.

And just when we thought it couldn't get to be any more fun during The Wine Song Harry suggested the crowd grab friends and others in the crowd and dance in circles like Zorba and we all willing obliged to the sight of smiles and the sounds of much laughter. By the end we were all grinning ear to ear and I think the entire crowd had made new friends. And during the madness of The Chariot we knew we had found that magic again the first drew us to this band; The Cats were back! At the end of The Chariot and encore we all walked out of our musical haven smiling with and fantastic feel good feeling.

An experience I can recommend to every-one; be sure to go to Somerset House for a concert and be sure to see the Cat Empire. Thank you Cats for bringing so much joy to all of us; see you next time you are back in London or maybe when we are back down in Australia.

Ok so here’s what I like and here’s what I didn’t like about the Cat Empire show.

There was maybe 3 classics played: Two Shoes, The Chariot and one other, and the rest were newish or brand new.

As a musician I understand the need to wear in the new songs with live crowds so they become well known but what actually happened is you’ve got people that want to dance and sing to all the songs they know and love, and all their getting is songs they possibly haven’t heard before.

One more thing I’ll add, and I hope the boys see this, was in ‘two shoes’, Harry sings the octave higher ‘TWO SHOES FOR DANCING...’

It’s clearly the best part of the song right?

Except I only heard him sing it like that, once, through out the song, rather casually and soft... DUDE, BEST PART, flaunt that shit every chance you get!!

Also give us a wild trumpet solo. You are so darn good at that thing yet I felt like you shyed from owning the stage, unlike I’ve seen you do amazingly in the past.

Now to the positives...

Cat Empire, you played a few classics, and they got me moving and singing and smiling.

You did a few awesome jams through out the set, and the drummer was OFF TAP with his beats (off tap, meaning, solid AF, steady, technical, embodied, multi magic going on...

Sadly, I had expectations that weren’t met, and as a long time fan knowing most of the words to the classics, it was a let down...

I’m gonna give this show a 5 out of 10

Love you folk,

Big time fan,

Feel free to follow my music socials and critique me back haha,

Australian outfit The Cat Empire have been merging the genres of ska, jazz, latin, reggae and rock with surprisingly successful effects for the last fifteen years and their appeal has seen them leave their native homeland and travel globally spreading their uptempo sounds and energetic live show. The whole rapport onstage is improved by the fact the group's original lineup remains unchanged and therefore the musicians have experienced all of these fantastic tours and shows together.

It also helps as the musical arrangement is so diverse it would clearly take a lot of practice for a new member to learn the melodies of the band's work. This consistency means the band is able to deliver a ska/jazz smorgasbord of sorts reaching from all of their previous albums and demonstrating their sheer versatility as performers. The likes of 'Brighter Than Gold' and 'Sleep Won't Sleep' has the audiences tapping their toes along to the upbeat latin tones whilst the bonafide party track that is 'All Night Loud' has been rightly reserved for a stomping encore.

Awesome, really fun night. The Cat empire are one of the rare bands these days that are better live than on record! Our 5th time watching the cat empire and the never disappoint.

I wasn't overly thrilled about the venue, the layout was awkward and difficult to get a good view at the back due to the bar in the middle. The people - I don't think they were part of the crew but maybe friends or family of the band? Or of the crew? They were watching the band too- anyway they were on the lighting deck and were talking throughout the whole gig which was fine for most of the upbeat songs but during the more slower numbers it was quite annoying... Sorry, I sound like an absolute Diva but it was such a pain as the slower songs are really quite beautiful and you don't expect members of the crew to sit there having a chat about their day.

If you don't yet know The Cat Empire, do yourself a favor and have a listen to their songs on youtube or something, hurry. Their blend of ska, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, folk and latin rhythms is something so amazing and unique that you won't find it in any other band in the planet. They are distilled happiness. What's more, all that power and energy increases drastically on stage, their concerts are pure dynamite. Really, you won't be able to stop your body from dancing to their tunes live. I've been to the two shows they've done lately in Barcelona, and they never disappoint. You'll leave the venue with a smile from ear to ear!

Plus, they're super nice guys!

Support Tinpan Orange was nice although her voice was kind of damaged. But only a few times this could be heared. Must be hard for her to start tour though.

Atmosphere was great but then it took ages until Cat Empire appeared on stage. Too long!

However, first song was great, Cat Empire promised to get the whole room to dance and they made it right!

It was fun. Feel good & happy music including the nicely designed multicoloured stage it made us feel beeing somewhere around Australia...

My friend and I saw The Cat Empire at the O2 in Bournemouth Tuesday 30. As usual they were BRILLIANT! They are the most positive and uplifting band I have ever heard. If you've never seen them then make a point of going. Definitely put it on your one of the things I want to do in life list. Happy happy Cats!

so glad they finally came to america! my only complaint is that their set wasn't twice as long, by 11:30 i was just getting started. apparently this review must be at least 30 words long so i'm making it longer. i think it's long enough now. eat it songkick.

We bought the tickets five months ago and would have loved to have attended but the risk of contracting Covid19 by being in a crowd of 600 people for hours in a club was too great. It would have been responsible and respectful to have postponed the show.

saw them play in Manchester around 2012, it was one of the best live gigs I ever went to. the whole audience was jumping for the entire concert. Came out euphoric having lost my t-shirt and glasses. Awesome, don't miss them if you have the chance

The Cat Empire announce final tour with original line-up

The group are set to reboot as “a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists”

Melbourne ska legends The Cat Empire have announced their dissolution as a full touring band, saying that “a new incarnation” of the group will be debuted shortly.

The Cat Empire originally formed in 1999 with Ollie McGill on keyboards, Felix Riebl on percussion and lead vocals, and Ryan Monro on double bass. They expanded to a six-piece two years later, with Harry James Angus (trumpet and guitar), Will Hull-Brown (drums) and Jamshid “DJ Jumps” Khadiwhala (turntables) performing with the group since 2001.

The band announced this morning (September 16) that they’ve “made the decision to disband, and to make way for a new incarnation of The Cat Empire to come to life”.

In an extended statement posted to The Cat Empire’s website , they explained that Riebl and McGill will continue to lead the project as “a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists”, with new music under the band’s name set for release in 2022.

After 20 incredible years of touring and making music together, we have made the decision to disband, and to make way… Posted by The Cat Empire on  Wednesday, September 15, 2021

“We cherish our global audience who took us into their hearts, homes, venues and festivals, returning over and over to sing and dance with us,” the band’s statement continued.

“As we toured the world, our fanbase grew and so did we. The enthusiasm of our audience has sustained us through tough times and has kept us making and delivering music for all these years. We’ve met babies named after us, heard heart-warming and heart-wrenching stories about what our music has meant to people, and we’ve seen hundreds of tattoos of our logo on various body parts!”

The band made sure to note that their breakup wasn’t spurred on by any animosity or frayed relationships within the group, stating that they “leave each other with full hearts, healthy relationships, and a deep respect for each other and the musical journey we have shared together and with the world”.

The Cat Empire will perform one final run of shows in its current form this December, hitting stages in South-East Queensland, Perth and Melbourne. The latter performance will also be live-streamed on December 18. Tickets and details for all shows are available from the band’s website .

In addition, the band have announced an archival compilation titled ‘The Adelphia Sessions’, described as “a hybrid of select tracks” from their live albums ‘The Sun’ and ‘Live @ Adelphia’. The record is set for release in October, however a concrete date was not offered in the band’s announcement.

‘The Adelphia Sessions’ will also be released alongside two brand new songs, before their 2006 album ‘Cities’ makes its debut on streaming services in November.

The Cat Empire Announces Major Line-up Change & Farewell Tour Dates

"The spirit of the band will flow through to the next chapter..."

The Cat Empire have announced major changes to their line-up today with news that four original band members will be departing. 

It's been shared today that band members Harry James Angus,  Will Hull-Brown,  and  Jamshid 'DJ Jumps' Khadiwhala are leaving the group, in addition to bass player Ryan Monro who exited in March 2021. 

Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill will remain for the "next iteration of the band". 

The group have announced that they will kick off a farewell tour later this year with shows in Queensland, Western Australia and Melbourne. 

"After 20 incredible years of touring and making music together, we have made the decision to disband, and to make way for a new incarnation of The Cat Empire to come to life fronted by Felix and Ollie," said the group in a statement today. 

"Will (Drums), Ryan (Bass-departed the band March 2021), Harry (Vox/Trumpet), Jamshid DJ Jumps (Decks/Percussion), and our Manager Correne will all be celebrating final moments with The Cat Empire in December 2021. At this juncture, Felix (Front-man/Percussion) and Ollie (Keys) will take the band forward into its next global chapter as a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists. "The Cat Empire began as a musical jazz project in Melbourne, Australia in 2001, and took on a life of its own, so much bigger than any of us could have even dreamed or imagined. As we look back on the past two decades, we are so proud of what we achieved; from the (almost 1500) live shows and festivals we have played around the world, to the seven studio albums which resulted in global chart success, as well as our cherished independence, and more importantly the interpersonal experiences we amassed and grew from. We directed our own musical adventure and created our own opportunities along the way. "We’ve played Letterman and Leno , Bonnaroo and SummerStage NYC, opened the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, performed at Bluesfest 15 times, Falls Festival 11, Woodford Folk 10, Winnipeg Folk Festival 8 times, and Blues Balls (Switzerland) and Adelaide Fringe seven times each. More than half of our live audience lives in Europe. We hold the record for the most shows played in a row at Edinburgh Festival (16), and in 2019 we played Glastonbury twice!

"We've met babies named after us, heard heart-warming and heart-wrenching stories about what our music has meant to people, and we've seen hundreds of tattoos of our logo on various body parts! We are forever indebted to every one of the lovely faces in the crowd at each of our shows, for the joy you showered back at us over two decades...

"We have so much to celebrate. We leave each other with full hearts, healthy relationships, and a deep respect for each other and the musical journey we have shared together, and with the world.  We firmly believe The Cat Empire has an enduring mission to continue to bring great music, exemplary musicianship, and joyful moments to the world.  

"The spirit of the band will flow through to the next chapter as Felix and Ollie and many guest musicians grow The Cat Empire into a global collective with new and exciting music set for release in 2022."

Tickets for The Cat Empire's original line-up farewell shows will go on sale on Tuesday 21 September at 10.00am local time. Head to theGuide for all the info.

The Cat Empire

High-spirited Australian band the Cat Empire have set themselves apart by incorporating and emulating a multitude of styles including ska, rocksteady, Latin jazz, funk, Afrobeat, and hip-hop. They established themselves as a live act before they released their self-titled debut album (2003), and since then have regularly hit the upper reaches of the ARIA chart with their studio albums, including the number one hits Two Shoes (2005) and Rising with the Sun (2016). Enlivened by a turntablist, horn section, and dancers, their performances have been documented on a series of secondary live releases, most notably the double-length Live on Earth (2009), drawn from gigs across the planet. The long-running band celebrated 20 years of activity with the release of Stolen Diamonds (2019), their sixth album to debut within the ARIA Top Ten. An offshoot of the Melbourne-based band Jazz Cat, the Cat Empire took full shape when the founding members -- keyboardist Oliver McGill, double bassist Ryan Monro, and percussionist Felix Riebl -- were joined by trumpeter Harry James Angus, drummer Will Hull-Brown, and Jamshid "DJ Jumps" Khadiwala. The band made their commercial recorded debut in 2001 with a live EP. Continued club gigs and appearances at festivals -- the Melbourne Festival, the Adelaide Festival of Arts, and WOMAD among them -- made the band a major live attraction and built anticipation for their album debut. Signed to Virgin in their home country, the Cat Empire consequently reached number 15 on the ARIA chart in 2003 with their self-titled first LP, which eventually went triple platinum. Emboldened by the acceptance of their hybrid sound, they further developed it by recording their follow-up, Two Shoes, in Havana, Cuba. It became their first number one album upon its 2005 release. Cities, an even more exploratory set, followed a year later and won the 2006 ARIA award for Best World Music Album. The band's third studio LP in as many years, So Many Nights, reached number two upon its arrival. It was promoted with a seven-night run at Sydney's Metro Theatre, during which they played eight shows -- a venue record -- while lead single "No Longer There" became their most successful A-side, a number 12 hit. Live on Earth closed out the decade by documenting dates in Australia, the U.K., France, the U.S., and Canada. The liners for the two-CD set noted that they had played over 650 shows. Throughout the 2010s, the band continued to alternate between extensive touring and studio sessions. Fifth album Cinema was issued in 2010 with a title evocative of its intent, though the band, energized as ever, were referring to soundtracks rather than incidental music. Like Cinema, 2013 follow-up Steal the Light -- the first release on the band's Two Shoes label -- entered the ARIA chart at number three. Four continents were hit during a subsequent world tour. Rising with the Sun became the band's second number one ARIA album in 2016. Still independent, the band took a different approach in 2018 by releasing a new song each month of the year, which culminated in the 2019 release of Stolen Diamonds, their sixth Top Five album. © Andy Kellman /TiVo
