The Cat Empire will be embarking on a UK tour in April 2016

The Cat Empire who appeared this year at festivals including The Secret Garden Party, WOMAD, and Eden Festival as well as a sold out show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in June, will return again to the UK for a 12 date circuit –the first stop on their 2016 global album tour.

Their latest tour includes a few extra cities being added to the band’s usual UK sojourn – including a return trip to Edinburgh, where an epic 16-night stint at the Edinburgh Festival all those years ago sparked a long European love affair for the band’s ability to turn every gig into one huge party.

During their UK tour, the band will play a mix of their hits, and tracks from their brand new album – set for release in March 2016. With the title still to be announced.

Their tour dates are:

Wed 30 March Concorde 2, Brighton
Thu 31 March Portsmouth Pyramids Centre, Portsmouth
Fri 01 April Bath Pavilion, Bath
Sat 02 April O2 Institute, Birmingham
Sun 03 April Tramshed, Cardiff
