Following the overwhelming response to its 2024 debut, The Cat Empire returns to Brisbane for a highly anticipated one-night-only encore performance with Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

This special concert sees the band 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 show features world-class flamenco artists Arte Kanela, 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.
