Following the overwhelming response to its 2024 debut, The Cat Empire once again join forces with Adelaide Symphony Orchestra for a highly anticipated run of encore performances at Thebarton Theatre. This special concert sees the band once again re-imagining their catalogue on a grand orchestral scale — blending beloved 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 Richard Tedesco, Johnny Tedesco and Chantelle Cano, 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 rarely seen and never forgotten. Presented by Adelaide Symphony Orchestra
