Caravan Palace

Caravan Palace is a French electro-swing band formed in Paris in 2008, blending electronic music, house and swing. Signed to Wagram Music, the group released a self-titled first album the same year, and has since issued five studio albums. Their music has been described as a mix of modern electronic sounds, jazz and the swing of the 1920s.

On stage, the band expands to eight members, with two singer-dancers joining their usual line-up. The concert draws on tracks from across the band's career and includes new, previously unreleased material. The instrumentation features brass, jazz guitar and analogue synthesisers, combined with choreography. The show takes its inspiration from the American revues of the 1920s, delivered with a contemporary energy.

British Airways ARC is a London venue that mainly hosts live concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners interested in electro-swing and in the staging of a live spectacle, as the tour was conceived as a show in its own right, free from the usual demands of album promotion.
