About the event

In under twenty years and five studio albums, Caravan Palace have gone from being a Parisian sensation to a genuine global pop phenomenon. Their path is unique, carried by an irresistible blend of modern electronics, jazz and the swing of the Roaring Twenties — a sound signature you recognise instantly, and one that has won people over far beyond France. With more than two billion views on YouTube, hundreds of millions of streams and a platinum single in the United States, they are among the most popular and most viral jazz-affiliated bands in the world. From the stages of Coachella and Glastonbury to Paléo and Rock en Seine, the Parisians get vast crowds dancing wherever their tours take them. In autumn 2026, free from the demands of promoting an album, the band offer a tour conceived as a genuine piece of theatre. The set revisits two decades of songs that have become essential, opens up to previously unreleased material and summons the spirit of the great American revues of the 1920s, driven by a resolutely contemporary energy. On stage, Caravan Palace becomes an eight-strong company, with two singer-dancers joining the usual line-up. Blazing brass, jazz guitar, analogue synths and choreography answer one another in an explosive, generous show built for celebration.
