Overview

It was in the early 2000s that Melbourne-born jazz/funk band The Cat Empire exploded onto the world stage with its international sound layered with Australian charm. They wasted no time shooting to the tops of the charts with tracks like 'Hello', 'Days Like These' and 'How to Explain'. In 2024, they're still going strong on a global tour.

Swap your headphones for the real thing when The Cat Empire hits the stage as a part of Brisbane Festival, backed by the wind, string and brass excellence of Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Time is short to catch it since the show runs for one night and one night only at Fortitude Music Hall on Thursday, September 19.

The Cat Empire have spent the better part of two decades combining Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Flamenco genres with an infectious enthusiasm that is sure to get you out of your seat and dancing. Don't say we didn't warn you.

The Cat Empire and Queensland Symphony Orchestra take to the stage on Thursday, September 19 at 7.30pm. For more information or to book tickets, visit the website.
