The Cat Empire - Orchestra Encore Tour 2026

Following the overwhelming response to its 2024 debut, The Cat Empire once again joins forces with Tasmania Symphony Orchestra for a highly anticipated performance for one night only - this time at Mystate Bank Arena.

Fri September 25

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.

Presented by Tasmania Symphony Orchestra.
