The St Kilda Festival, Australia's largest free music festival, revealed The Cat Empire as the much anticipated surprise headline act for Festival Sunday, the iconic final day of the nine-day celebration of Australian arts and music.

Playing Australia's favourite mash of jazz-funk and hip-hop jams, The Cat Empire is a true home-grown success story.

The St Kilda Festival is on from Saturday, 2 February and Sunday, 10 February 2013. For further information please visit www.stkildafestival.com.au. The St Kilda Festival is produced and presented by the City of Port Phillip and supported by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria.
