Caravan Palace und Selah Sue

Hailing from Paris, France, Caravan Palace, are widely adored for both their musical prowess and the exhilarating experience they deliver, In about 15 years, the band has grown from a parisian jive sensation to a globalized pop act melding all kinds of influences and capable of tearing the roof off any venue or festival tent!.

The band initially started as a trio, fusing contemporary electronic beats with musical influences from vintage jazz sounds. Their ability to craft lush compositions with a variety of instruments and recording techniques quickly made a stir and, with the help of emerging social networks, they soon completed their lineup while seeing their demos get traction in the plugged-in community. After extensive touring in 2007, including performances at the Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival, their presence in the Paris music scene grew, leading to a recording contract with Café de la Danse.

Their self-titled debut studio album received critical acclaim for its authentic jazz elements and unique electronic flair. The album soon went platinum in France where the band's live performances gained momentum, with concert tickets selling rapidly even with minimal promotion. The subsequent album, “Panic,” was released in 2012 and swiftly became a fan favorite. It contributed significantly to the band's success on a more global scale, enabling them to participate in festivals like Coachella, Dour, or Paleo, as well as sell out club shows in most major European and North American cities.

Their third studio album, cryptically titled <I°_°I>, marked a shift for the band from a live sensation to a stats mastodon with the tracks “Lone Digger”, “Wonderland”, “Comics” and “Aftermath”, amassing billions of streams online.

Throughout their career Caravan Palace have consistently defied convention to become pop mainstays while keeping their cool, innovating their sound and refusing to follow the rules. The next logical step was for them to launch their own label Lone Diggers to release their fourth album Chronologic in 2019 featuring the hit singles Miracle and Moonshine.

With their new album Gangbusters Melody Club released in March 2024, the parisians will hit the road again this year!

Born in the Belgian town of Leuven but raised in the nearby Leefdaal, Selah Sue learned to play the acoustic guitar aged 15 and began to compose her own songs around the same time. It took virtually no time at all for the talented singer to be raising eyebrows; at just 17 Universal offered her a singing contract although the songwriter turned it down as she wanted to sing her own songs.

After being the youngest and only female act at an Open-Mic night in Lueven, organiser Milow offered her a slot on his supporting programme, which led to warm up performances in London and Paris and major festival appearances.

In January 2009 Selah Sue released her debut EP “Black Part Love” and was supported by a Belgian musical theatre programme Ancienne Belgique, designed for promising acts without labels or management. The singer has regularly appeared on the dutch TV show “De Wereld Draait Door” and a number Flemish shows. In 2010 she hit the major festival circuit in Belgium playing Les Nuits Botaniques, Les Ardentes and Dour Festival among others. Selah Sue released her second EP “Raggamuffin” in October 2010, followed by a support appearance for Prince on his Sportpaleis tour.

The singer songwriter released her eponymously-titled debut album on March 4, 2011. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Belgium Albums Chart and featured the hit singles “This World”, “Crazy Vibes” and the Cee Lo Green collaboration “Please”.
