Stéphan Eicher

Poussière d’Or Tour

Singer-songwriter Stephan Eicher is a key figure in a genre of music without borders, blending rock, French chanson, pop and electronica. He rose to fame in the 1980s with his album Engelberg, enjoying huge international success and embarking on a remarkable collaboration with Philippe Djian, which produced classics such as Déjeuner en paix, Tu ne me dois rien and Pas d'ami (comme toi). An outstanding live performer, he has continued to reinvent himself over the decades. With his new album, the 18th of his career, Poussière d'Or, Stephan Eicher returns to Cannes this summer, to the legendary stage of the Palais des Festivals, to share his new songs with us during a highly anticipated live concert that emphasises ensemble playing.



I can't help myself.
The blank page doesn't scare me.
A piano stool is often the only place where the world stops being too noisy, too complex.
A guitar resting on my knees helps when everything becomes too fast, too heavy.
Then harmonies and melodies emerge, based on lyrics by my writer friends Philippe Djian and Martin Suter.
And then I play these musical seeds to other friends.
They start playing with me, encourage me to record them, and other musicians join in, other hands too.
And suddenly, these songs come to life. They become an album, find their title: Poussière d'Or...
It's time to share them – like warm bread placed in the centre of a table.
