The Cat Empire with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets
About The Cat Empire
Following the overwhelming response to the 2024 collaboration – captured on the band’s new album, Live at the Sydney Opera House – The Cat Empire again join forces with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for more joyous, uplifting performances. This special concert sees the band re-imagine their catalogue on a grand orchestral scale, blending beloved The 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 Arte Kanela 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 that you won’t forget.
