Caribou
For over two decades, Caribou has been a defining force in electronic music, evolving from an experimental solo project into a dynamic, genre-defying live experience. Led by Dan Snaith, Caribou’s live performances have become renowned for their electrifying energy and immersive soundscapes, delivered by a powerhouse four-piece band that brings Snaith’s studio creations to vibrant life on stage.
Caribou's musical evolution has been marked by continual transformation. From the lush psychedelia of Andorrato the shimmering dance-pop of Swim and the emotionally charged Our Love, Snaith has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound and storytelling. His 2020 release Suddenly delved deep into personal narratives, connecting with audiences through its heartfelt intimacy and dynamic production.
With the latest Caribou album, Honey, Dan Snaith explores fresh sonic territories while staying true to the project's core: music that moves both heart and body. Honey merges the rhythmic intensity of Snaith's Daphni persona with Caribou’s signature warmth, creating tracks that pulse with life and emotional resonance.
On stage, Caribou’s music transcends its recorded form. Snaith and his band transform intricate studio productions into expansive live experiences. Layered synths, driving percussion, and soaring vocals blend into hypnotic, euphoric performances that ignite festival crowds and intimate venues alike. Proof includes unforgettable performances at Glastonbury, Coachella, and Primavera Sound.
Whether delivering pulsating dancefloor anthems like “Can’t Do Without You” and “Odessa” or unveiling the emotive depth of new tracks from Honey, Caribou’s live shows are a masterclass in musical connection. Each performance is a communal celebration of sound, a space where electronic beats and human emotion collide in unforgettable ways. Caribou continues to build a legacy defined by innovation, emotional resonance, and unforgettable live performances. With Honey propelling them into exciting new realms, Caribou continues to set the standard for what electronic music can be—bold, heartfelt, and joyfully alive.

Caribou
In 2014 Dan Snaith aka Caribou released Our Love to overwhelming critical acclaim and top 5 ‘Album of the Year’ positions from the likes of The Guardian, Mixmag, Loud & Quiet and NME. Now Caribou returns with his seventh studio album Suddenly, an album about family and the changes we go though as those relationships evolve. Our Love was an open-armed exploration of the concept of love in its grandest form, both as an expression of gratitude to his fans and as an examining of that one thing that matters most in life. Suddenly however takes that concept and winnows it down, directly applying it to real life and the people to whom that love means the most.
As a studio project, Caribou is carried out by Snaith alone, but on tour the live band also consists of Ryan Smith, Brad Weber, and John Schmersal. 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.
