CARAVAN PALACE ANNOUNCE SHOW AT LONDON O2 SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE

From pioneering Parisians to platinum selling, global stars. From clubs to festival main stages and from word-of-mouth to primetime TV shows and the toast of TikTok.
For 15 fabulous years, Caravan Palace have defied convention to become pop mainstays while keeping their cool, innovating their sound and refusing to follow the rules. As adored by fans of Strictly Come Dancing as YouTubers bewitched by their risqué visuals and TikTokers snared by their instantly addictive songs, the band have sidestepped trends to forge their own fashionable path on which everyone is welcome.

Social media’s exploding obsession with Caravan Place is down to the fans, rather than the band, who give a Gallic shrug to stats, preferring to party on stage with brass and strings. From Facebook to YouTube to the billions of clips on TikTok set to songs from their first four albums, technology has embraced their genre-mashing music without any intervention.

Where the group who formed to score a remake of a 1920s porn film for French TV go next is anyone’s guess, but clues to their forthcoming fifth album are incoming. Lead single MAD is a magical, mesmeric mix of many of their past influences, a Prohibition-era soaked dive into jive, jazz, boisterous hip hop and sleazy electronica, shot through with a sense of humour and fierce lyrics that pack a punch courtesy of energetic, enigmatic frontwoman Colotis Zoé.

MAD will be premiered live in London next year at a rare, intimate show at Shepherds Bush Empire in April. Previously Caravan Palace have played blistering gigs in the city at Somerset House and Brixton Academy. They have gone down a storm everywhere from Glastonbury to Coachella, been seen on TV on Jools Holland and Jonathan Ross and are inescapable online.
With teasers for MAD achieving over two million views on TikTok in 24 hours, the next chapter is just beginning.
