The Cat Empire have been one of the hit tickets for Twilight at Taronga at Taronga Zoo in Sydney for 2024.

The first show for The Cat Empire for 1 March sold out fast and now the second show added for 29 February is almost full.

The Cat Empire will celebrate 25 years as a band in 2024. The band were originally known as Jazz Cat when they formed in Melbourne in 1999. Despite being from Melbourne, the first show for Jazz Cat was in Sydney. Jazz Cat evolved to The Cat Empire and played Melbpurne venues including reknowned jazz club Bennett’s Lane in the early 00s.

Harry James Angus joined in 2001 and in 2003 the debut album gave them two Top 40 hits with ‘Days Like These’ and ‘The Chariot’.

Album two ‘Two Shoes’ was a number one album in Australia. They repeated that achievement again in 2016 with ‘Rising with the Sun’.
