Twenty years after their debut, Cocoon is returning to the stage for a brand-new acoustic tour. The French folk-pop band founded by Mark Daumail will perform at the Alhambra in Geneva on Saturday, December 5, 2026, in an intimate and delicate show. The evening will open with the duo The Woohoo, formed by Martinez and the famous cartoonist Zep.

Formed in 2005, Cocoon has established itself over the years as one of the most distinctive voices on the French-speaking folk scene, singing exclusively in English. Their unique sound, recognizable from the very first notes, has stood the test of time and earned the loyalty of a discerning audience.

To mark its 20-year career, Cocoon released a double album titled “Bones for the Dogs” on December 5, 2025, offering acoustic reinterpretations of the most iconic songs from its repertoire. This project sets the perfect stage for their return to the stage in 2026.

The evening will open with The Woohoo, a duo formed by Valérie Martinez and Zep, which came together in 2020 during the pandemic, after both musicians had each followed their own artistic paths for years before finding each other. It was in Norway, under the Northern Lights, that they wrote their first single, “Automatic Songs.” This artistic collaboration felt all the more natural given that the duo had previously worked with Cocoon, with whom they share a delicate and intimate musical world.
