After 20 incredible years of touring and making music together, we have made the decision to disband, and to make way for a new incarnation of The Cat Empire to come to life fronted by Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill.
Will Hull-Brown (Drums), Ryan Monro (Bass-departed the band March 2021), Harry Angus (Vox/Trumpet), Jamshid (Dj Jumps) Khadiwala (Decks/Percussion), and our career-long Manager Correne Wilkie will all be celebrating final moments with The Cat Empire in December 202...1.
We have so much to celebrate. We leave each other with full hearts, healthy relationships, and a deep respect for each other and the musical journey we have shared together and with the world.
The spirit of the band will flow through to the next chapter as Felix and Ollie grow The Cat Empire into a global collective with new and exciting music set for release in 2022.
We will celebrate 20 years of the original line-up with final shows in Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria in December 2021. For those who can't physically attend, tickets will be made available to access a virtual concert of the final event. Tickets on sale Tuesday, September 21 at 10.00 am.
