The Cat Empire recently reminded us all of why we first fell in love with them with the infectious ‘Wolves’, the first taste of their eagerly anticipated sixth studio album, Rising With The Sun, out 4th March.

Now, they’re set to remind us of why the love affair has been going so strong for so long by returning to the live stage for a national tour that kicks off this May and will take in venues around the nation.

With a whole swag of new songs ready to go, The Cat Empire’s Rising With The Sun Australian tour will kick off with a series of East Coat shows (with a stopover in Adelaide) with more dates to be announced soon.

What’s more, the band can’t wait for fans to hear the new songs in a love format. “You can play it on a big stage. The choruses are ones people can sing. The rhythms really work,” says frontman Felix Riebl.
