The Cat Empire

Following the overwhelming response to its 2024 debut, The Cat Empire once again join forces with Tasmania Symphony Orchestra for an encore performance at Mystate Bank Arena for one night only.

This special concert sees the band once again re-imagining their catalogue on a grand orchestral scale — blending beloved Cat Empire classics with bold new arrangements written especially for this collaboration. Drawing on the band’s signature mix of Afro-Cuban, Seychellois Creole, Brazilian and flamenco influences, the music is expanded and elevated by the full force of the orchestra, creating a powerful and immersive live experience.

The 2026 encore shows feature world-class flamenco artists Richard Tedesco, Johnny Tedesco and Chantelle Cano, alongside a large choir, bringing added drama, rhythm and emotion to the stage. The result is a joyous, cinematic celebration of rhythm, melody and movement — showcasing The Cat Empire in a way rarely seen and never forgotten.
