Funky alt-rocker Harts, reggae fusion band Ocean Alley, and indie-pop songstress Sahara Beck will be joining the two monoliths of Aussie music. This album is incredibly well recorded especially the drums and bass.
This isn’t going to be any small gig either ‘cause it’s also been announced that some up-and-coming artists will be opening the stage. Xavier Rudd, Xavier Rudd, Oren Waters, Joel Echols, Nori Murakawa, Dave Tolley. I guess it’s about time that we teamed up to do some shows together and I’m stoked to share a stage with these legends!” said Rudd. 9 In his live show, Rudd came to be renowned for his 'one-man band' performances. Instruments included didgeridoos, slide guitars, stomp boxes, djembe drums, slit drums, and the harmonica. “I’ve always had a tonne of respect for The Cat Empire guys since the start. Featuring guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keys, horns, flute, saxophone and backing vocals, the aptly titled Xavier Rudd & the United Nations bands together. Rather than inviting guest artists to join him on the record, Rudd performed all the instrumentation for the album alone with only a few overdubs. He’s been busy playing sold-out shows across Europe, but he’s happy to be playing back on home soil. For the tour, Rudd will be teaming with Bobby Alu on drums and Ant Aggs on keys to form a funky trio. Xavier Rudd is the ultimate solo musician with his multi-instrument playing, singing, and songwriting talents.

We’re very excited about this, it should be a full and colourful stage,” said The Cat Empire’s frontman Felix Riebl. “We’ve been crossing paths with Xavier Rudd at festivals in Australia and internationally for many years, and we’ve always had a great time together. Their latest album ‘Rising With The Sun’ topped charts around the world, proving they’ve got as much spark as ever. Known as “the ultimate party band”, The Cat Empire are funky blues connoisseurs and even have their own brass section to give their tunes an infectious groove. The two artists have a lot in common, with their distinctly Australian music bringing feel-good vibes in a genre-bending mash of upbeat folk and blues. It's a paean to family and friends that works, and the jauntiest thing on the set. Taking place in January and February, the two Aussie legends will be sweeping through outdoor stages at some of the most beautiful places in the country. 'Twist' is a solid reggae number that contemplates one's relationships with one's friends, with Tolley on drums as Rudd plays everything else: slide on an 11-string Weissenborn, his stomp box, and harmonica.
You’re gonna have a tough time finding a better announcement than this one though, The Cat Empire and Xavier Rudd are joining forces to bring Australia an outdoor concert tour! Summer’s well on its way and with it comes plenty of amazing gig and festival announcements.
