EDEN LIVE presents CARIBOU
Live in Athens!
& special guest: Marie Davidson
Saturday 7 June 2025
Lycabettus Theater
City of Athens
After a lengthy hiatus, CARIBOU is set to make a return to the stages with a global tour, including a stop at the top of the Athenian Lycabettus Hill Theater on Saturday the 7th June 2025.
DANCE GIANT ❯❯ CAN’T DO WITHOUT YOU CARIBOU
Gonna be incredible —— see you there!
Canadian artist Dan Snaith, who performs as CARIBOU, crafts mesmerizing explorations of dance music that are alluring, catchy, and intimate. He distills various strains of house music into simple moods and fleshes out the emotions of each track with gently spoken vocals. More than a decade of touring across the globe has cemented CARIBOU’s reputation as much for being a live band as a studio project.
In April 2024, CARIBOU released his first single in two years: ‘Honey’, a dancefloor-ready banger that comes with a trippy music video directed by Richard Kenworthy.
Known for their quality performances, CARIBOU teased the tour would feature “a lot of new music” to enthrall and delight their fans. In April, Snaith returned with “Honey,” his first new single under the moniker in two years. The last CARIBOU album, Suddenly, came out in 2020.
For the past few years CARIBOU, aka Dan Snaith, has been releasing under his DAPHNI alias. As DAPHNI, he has played back-to-back with FLOATING POINTS at FOUR TET’s Under The K Bridge event this year, and is set to play at Coachella’s all-new electronic music stage, Quasar. His last release as CARIBOU was the GRAMMY-nominated single ‘You Can Do It’ which dropped back in August 2021.

Marie Davidson
MODERN EMPOWERED POETESS ❯❯ WORK IT MARIE
Marie Davidson has always gone against the grain. The French-Canadian producer’s first four albums established her as a transgressive force in dance music, with her 2014 debut Perte d'identité (Loss of identity) laying the foundations of organic electronics and introspective storytelling that she would continue to build upon. Each release probed her “dualistic” relationship to nightlife while becoming increasingly saturated in its abundance of sounds, from Detroit techno to Italo disco, finally reaching a fever pitch on 2018’s Polaris Music Prize-nominated WorkingClass Woman. Putting the pitfalls of club culture and her own fractured identity under a withering satirical lens, Working Class Woman doesn’t wrestle with the existential as much as fling it around the dancefloor.
After that, 2020’s Renegade Breakdown broke the mould entirely. With “a will to explore other styles of music,” Davidson formed a band with her husband and longtime collaborator Pierre Guerineau (also her counterpart in the duo Essaie Pas) and producer Asaël Robitaille. A deeply collaborative project, the trio wrote a slate of experimental pop songs inspired by records they would play at living-room afterparties –
jazz classics, French chanson, electronica – on which Davidson sang for the first time.
Four years and a pandemic later, Davidson’s sixth studio album, City of Clowns, marks a return to the club – but not as you know it. The techno thump and scathing spoken word delivery of Working Class Woman resurface at points, but the pop structures and melodic sensibilities of Renegade Breakdown also remain. It’s a “strange” sonic blend even by Davidson’s own standards. “It’s definitely linking back to what I was doing pre pandemic, but with a bit of an evolution,” she says. “I didn't want to just repeat myself.”
The sound and the spirit of the album are shaped, too, by the fact that Davidson has a new antagonist. This time it’s not club culture that’s coming for her sense of self, it’s Big Tech.
