Cercle will debut Cercle Odyssey in 2025, opening up a new era in live touring entertainment with stops in Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Paris.
French outfit Cercle has long been known as one of the most exceptional brands in the electronic music scene. For years, they’ve brought top-tier talent to the stage at unique locations around the globe, offering fans the chance to catch their favorite artists at Piedra del Peñol, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Petra, Skyway Monte Bianco, and more. Beyond those one-off affairs, Cercle has also helped champion new soundscapes via their label and podcast while hosting takeovers during ADE and even their own festival in France.
If there’s one thing that fans of Cercle have craved, it’s been more of their forward-thinking shows, and in 2025, they will get their wish. Cercle Odyssey is the newest experience to arrive from the beloved brand, and it will shake up the notion of what live touring entertainment looks like. This multi-sensory show will pair the live music from dynamic artists in the scene with a 360° projection panorama to create an immersive experience that’s unlike any other when it heads to Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Paris next year.
My current obsession is to create the shortest connection between the music played by the artist, the video narrative that we will present live on the screens, and the audience’s emotions. I want to connect these three things together at the deepest level, and I believe this is still underdeveloped in the entertainment industry. If, by the end of a Cercle Odyssey show, I see people on the dance floor literally moved to tears, then I will consider it a success.
Derek Barbolla, Cercle Founder and Creative Director
A diverse range of artists from different genres and backgrounds will be featured during Cercle Odyssey shows, all of whom will be revealed later this year. The music is just one part of the puzzle, though, as the massive projection screens will envelop the audience with 29 projectors showcasing high-quality, 8K videos synchronized to each passing second. And with film director and artist Neels Castillon, co-founder of Motion Palace, overseeing the direction of the videos, it’s sure to be quite a treat.
The Cercle Odyssey journey begins in Mexico City on April 25-26, with a two-night stop in Los Angeles on May 9-10. Then, the crew will head back to their home country to close out the run with two more nights in Paris on May 30-31. The immersive nature of these shows will be boosted even further with their policy that bans phones. Attendees will be able to live in the moment and will be given a folder of filmed content from Cercle as a souvenir so they can relive the night.
Presale tickets will be available on Monday, June 10, with the general sale beginning on Tuesday, June 11 at 10am PST (Los Angeles), 11am CST (Mexico City), and 7pm CEST (Paris). Sign up for access to the presale, as tickets for Cercle’s shows have historically moved quickly.
