Tickets on sale Thursday May 22 at 12pm AEST via thecatempire
Hot off the heels of a show-stealing set at Bluesfest and wedged between a massive 61-date international tour across North America, Europe, and the UK, these will be the first Australian shows where fans can experience Bird In Paradise performed live — a bold new chapter for one of the country’s most dynamic live acts.
Listen to BIRD IN PARADISE album HERE
The Cat Empire return with their most vibrant and expansive work to date — Bird in Paradise, their tenth studio album, out now via BMG Australia. Born from a place of spontaneity, raw energy and musical alchemy, the album marks a bold new chapter for the beloved band and sets the stage for a monumental 2025 tour across Australia and the globe.
A sonic kaleidoscope of flamenco, funk, Latin, jazz and Creole influences, Bird in Paradise is The Cat Empire in full technicolour. The album is a triumphant return to The Cat Empire’s organic roots, recorded live in-studio with a focus on chemistry, groove, and storytelling. It’s a record that pulses with energy, joy, and cultural celebration — a snapshot of a band still reinventing itself 20 years in.
“We didn’t set out to make this record — it found us,” says frontman Felix Riebl. “It’s a celebration of spontaneity, togetherness, and letting music lead the way.”
With their unmistakable sound and boundary-pushing spirit, The Cat Empire continue to build a global legacy. Don’t miss your chance to experience The Cat Empire at their most electric — with flamenco dancers, borderless soundscapes, and a kaleidoscope of sound and colour that’ll have you grooving from the first beat to the last. This is more than a show — it’s a celebration.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
