At the start of the year Katee headlined at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut as a result of her C2C acoustic stage appearance where access to the stage was restricted to one out one in due to numbers which was ‘’the first time that had ever happened‘’ according to DF Concerts.
She has continued to work assisting young up and coming artists, launching her own TV Show "Here & Now" for it's first season with online streaming company Broadcasting Scotland.
In Millport this year Katee Kross & The Amberjax opened the Cactus Jack's Stage on Friday night along with Gary Quinn and Jess & The Bandits, as well as an acoustic set on the Saturday in the Maverick Acoustic Venue which once again operated at capacity after just three songs into her set.
