IT’S TRUE… WE DON’T REST HERE AT BLUESFEST!

We’re already onto it Bluesfesters! The next major live music event to add to your calendars…We’re talking about Bluesfest 2023, of course!

Held over the Easter Long Weekend next year from Thursday 6th – Monday 10th of April… and you better bet that the artist lineup that we’re working on presenting will absolutely knock you right out of the park!

Itching to know more?! When will we announce?! When will tickets go on sale to the general public?!… You’ll just have to stay up to date via our newsletter, via socials and our website… it’s not far off!

There were tears, there was laughter, there was high emotion, but above all … there was a major celebration for the original members of THE CAT EMPIRE, and their 20 years of global touring and success.

They whipped through a set, jam-packed full of favourites.

From the very first notes that Harry James Angus’ hit in his trumpet solo heralding the band into ‘How To Explain’ the crowd roared, and we were off on a blistering ride through THE CAT EMPIRE song catalogue.

 

We were ready to party – and by heavens… party ? we ? did! ?

There was ‘Oscar Wilde’‘Two Shoes’‘Still Young’‘Hello’… and so many others.

We were hoarse with singing, weary from pogoing like crazy but carrying smiles and tears and hands aloft as the final strains of ‘The Chariot’ in their encore performance melted into the sweat-soaked audience and band members alike.

“Our weapons were our instruments, made from timber and steel, we never yielded to conformity – but stood like kings”

A very fitting lyric to end THE CAT EMPIRE’s 20 years at the top as one of the world’s finest festival bands ?

“We’ll just do what we do… one more time”
– Harry James Angus  

Harry and Will Hull-Brown hang out before their final show with the original members of THE CAT EMPIRE line-up. It’s been a 20-year global journey with the band… here they relive their moments – and open the door (just a little bit) on what might be coming next for them.

What a jaw-dropping, tear-jerking performance on our Opening Day at Bluesfest 2022. The sublime harmonies and stunning choreography of the Marliya Choir and their guests (including Emma Donovan) brought to life the stories in language and the message they carry. We managed to round up some of the Marliya Choir to explain their origins and how they were enjoying their musical journey ?
