Show cancellation details

Established in 1994, The Night Cat is a Fitzroy institution. It has been a genre-focused venue since first opening, specialising in Funk, Soul, Latin, Disco, Hip Hop and R&B.

Presenting artists in a unique 360-degree format, the venue has been the launchpad for several iconic Australian bands including The Cat Empire and The Bamboos. Continuing in this tradition, in recent years the venue has contributed to the development of artists like 30/70 and Allysha Joy, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, DubFx and Honey.

Timeless in style, the central performance space allows audiences a clear view of the stage from anywhere in the venue, as well as an up close and intimate experience with performers. With no pillars to obstruct views, huge recent production upgrades and exemplary venue management, The Night Cat offers an effortless audience experience from ticketing, to minimal bar queues and the classic Meyer sound system.

Past performers include: King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, Nightmares On Wax (UK), Sister Nancy, Nai Palm, Incognito (UK), Shigeto (USA), Sampa The Great, Azymuth & Marcos Valle (BRZ), Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Mildlife, You Am I, Amyl and The Sniffers, Lonnie Liston Smith (USA), Kylie Auldist, Osaka Monaurail (JPN), The Pharcyde (USA), ZFEX, Mulatu Astatke (ETH), Floating Points (UK), The Teskey Brothers, Dead Prez (USA), DJ Jazzy Jeff (USA), Allen Stone (USA), Victor Wooten (USA), Wet Leg (UK).
