The Cat Empire is a genre-defying ensemble that formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1999. Blending ska, jazz, rocksteady, and hip-hop, the six-piece produces a wildly eclectic sound and live show that has toured worldwide, from major festivals like Glastonbury to making buzzworthy appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The Cat Empire has produced multiple No. 1 albums in Australia, including Two Shoes (2005) and Rising with the Sun (2016). After announcing their decision to disband in 2021, a refreshed lineup was announced in July 2023 led by original members Ollie McGill and Felix Riebl with the additions of Grace Barbé on bass, Daniel Farrugia on drums, Neda Rahmani on percussion and Lazaro Numa on trumpet. On August 25, The Cat Empire released their ninth studio album, Where The Angels Fall, with a supporting world tour scheduled for the fall.

This was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen many over many years. The band is great, of course, and the music is wonderful. But it’s even more: the band connects deeply with the crowd and the crowd responds. There is joy, vitality and happiness flowing and pulsating through the room, and it feels profound and shared. What a splendid night! Do not miss this!!
One of the best shows I've been to, fantastic band and performance.
The show invoked emotions I didn't think I have. Glorious bevy of sound. The Cat Empire will rock your socks!
Have been a fan since around 2011 but this is the first time I saw The Cat Empire live. Superb. Kept the energy high and the crowd alive throughout. Cannot wait for the next time.
The Cat Empire put on a great, energy fulled show with horns, keys, drums, lots of percussion and singing. I saw that they were touring the US again and only 4 hrs from me so there was no hesitation to buy tickets. It started with the band walking in marching band style. The energy stayed high for the whole show with all the driving percussion and keyboard beats. I could tell the band members have a great stage relationship. I only bought 2 drinks for the whole night because I didn't want to miss any of the songs.
They have the best stage presence and know how to get even a quiet and shy crowd to get up and dancing. They put on an amazing show, and the bands new vibe is great. They are back at the top of their game!! Very cute venue as well
Simply amazing! The opening band was an added treat. The Cat Empire is a talented and highly skilled band and I can’t wait to see them again.
I am SOOOOO happy I got to see Cat Empire. And in a not so huge venue, got to be close to the stage. Danced and danced. They really connect to their audience, totally from the heart and beautiful, substantive, and lively fun music. Cat Empire Rocks!!! Finally got to see them, a dream fulfilled, really.
If you've never heard of Australian band, The Cat Empire, please check them out! They are amazing live, and have a 20-year catalog of eclectic tunes that range from ska to reggae to Soca to big band. They cover it all and do it with incredible energy that is infectious. I'm not a huge fan of Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale because of the height of the stage (it's a neck-breaker to watch an entire show looking up), but the staff is great and once they got the lead singer's mic working, the sound was great. Definitely add Cat Empire to your playlists.
Went in not having ever heard of them. It was a gorgeous night for a show at NC’s best venue, Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. I was given two tickets so I went with my 35yr old son. All I can say is WOW!! This band was fantastic. They play funk, jazz, ska, and are master musicians! They are high energy and so entertaining!We had so much fun! They have gained two fans! If you get a chance to see these guys live, don’t miss it!
This is the best live band. Such good energy, incredible musicians, such a good time, the best music. Was nervous because the band has changed so much, but they still got it! Exceeded expectations!
Don't miss this show. You don't know when you will get this chance again. Take all your friends. They are the best live band and very undiscovered in the USA. I am a Cat Empire fan. I felt like the luckiest person alive when I got to enjoy the show at the Culture Club in Ft. Lauderdale. All the way from Australia, here, ...bringing their energy, fun party vibe, happiness, and full sound. I walked out trying to figure out how I could catch one more show. This band, belongs on stage. They tell stories with their songs, like Jimmy Buffett, they are a performance band, like Queen, the stage can be big or small, they don't need any fancy pyrotechnics, Felix and his crazy talented band are going to suck you in and transport you, to a place of joy. There were a lot of people in the audience that had been waiting our whole lives for this night. If you are a Cat Empire fan, and had any concern about the new Cat Empire troupe or how they may have down sized to travel to the United States, to be on a smaller stage, taking down, and setting up, new city every night...do not worry. The songs were bigger then the album recordings. You will love it! If you want to be uplifted, free, and unbelievably happy, even if you have never heard of THE CAT EMPIRE, go to this concert. Appropriate and enjoyed by all ages. College party atmosphere, Yes! Sophisticated musical interludes, yes! And percussion, oh my! The gentleman next to me was not familiar with The Cat Empire, as we were leaving he was telling the folks he came, "best rock band ever". YES they are. Here and there, I think everyone finds something a little familiar in the Cat Empire music, a chord, or a few measures, but then it will segue way into something exclusive, to that next bridge, that next connection, and there is nothing like it. Nothing like you have ever experienced before. It is transcending. Peace, love, & The Cat Empire.
The Cat Empire is a hidden gem band. I almost don’t want to give them such a good review as to not spoil it for myself and other fans who know this Australia based group. When I saw they were in the US, I purchased without hesitation. Not only are their songs catchy, but the amount of energy and crowd engagement in the show truly makes it seem like every show is special. Fun covers, groovy originals, and lots of heart and soul. Highly recommend to anyone!
This was the most fun at a concert I’ve ever had. It was lively and filled with a crowd of non-judgmental folks just rocking out to this absolutely amazing band. Between the incredible horn section and the most excited and fun I’ve ever seen out of a main singer. Felix was incredible up there. Ollie was rocking out that keyboard and was a freakin’ rockstar. I’ve never said I want to do this all over again before after a concert before this concert before but I had an absolute blast.
TCE may be the best live performance I've ever seen/ participated in! They bring their songs alive and rev up the audience to keep people dancing. I'm addicted and will definitely see them again! The Fillmore was a perfect-sized venue for TCE - I think this is their 3rd time there. Last time they came mid-week and I opted out. Next time it could be on a Tuesday morning and I wouldn't care - I'd definitely come - and I'd bring more friends with me! Heck it was so much fun I might fly or drive to go see them again!
They are a super talented super fun can not help but dance to band. They put on a great show and sound fantastic live. I have introduced them to all of my friends who didn’t already know who they were - and everyone loves them! So ya, buy ALL their music and go see them every chance you get!
Nobody puts on a show like these guys! 4th time seeing them...and to see them in such an iconic venue as the Fillmore, in a world class city like San Francisco...these guys create memories I will always cherish! Saw them in LA two days later (just as amazing) and planning to see them in Australia next year!
These guys know how to put up a show! They rocked the Commodore Ballroom, making everyone dance and smile, almost forgot that it was a Monday! Great atmosphere.
I didn"t recognize nearly any of the music they played, which was disappointing. They play a helluva goid show, though, and the crowd loved them.
I’ve seen all but one of The Cat Empire’s Winnipeg shows, including every time they’ve played Winnipeg Folk Festival. Ever since the first time I heard their music, I have considered them one of my top 5 favourite bands ever! And they’re live shows are Absolutely Fantastic!!
