After a much needed rest-year, The Cat Empire is back with a renewed thunder and the announcement of a whopping 16 show national tour.

Canberrans can rest assure that The Cat Empire have our city firmly in their diary, with a show planned for Sunday 1st March at the Royal Theatre.

Touring relentlessly for the last 8 years, The Cat Empire welcomed a stationary 2008.

“We honestly took a break because we didn’t want to get jaded with touring,” front man Felix said.

Australian flags, zinc striped noses and very Aussie picnics filled the lawns of Parliament House at Australia Day Live, last sunday.

35,000 people turned up to soak up the early evening sun and take in the all-star line up of great entertainment.

Jessica Mauboy dominated, with a soulful performance and diva melodies, while fellow songstress Natalie Bassingthwaighte had the sea of Australian flags swaying to her chart-topper hits.
