French avant-garde icon Sébastien Tellier has unveiled his final preview of the year with the hypnotic new single "Amnesia," featuring a dream collaboration with Kid Cudi. The track arrives just days before his highly anticipated new album, Kiss The Beast, drops this Friday, January 30th.
The release sets the stage for Tellier’s return to the UK, headlined by a massive show at London’s KOKO on March 23rd, 2026.
The Camden Homecoming: March 23rd
For London fans, the March date at KOKO represents a rare opportunity to witness Tellier’s "extravagant love letter to pop" in an intimate, historic setting. Known for his theatrical flair and eccentric stage presence, Tellier's live return is expected to be a career-spanning celebration.
The KOKO show will be the centerpiece of his UK visit, featuring the lush orchestrations and synth-heavy grooves of the new record. With several dates on his European tour already sold out, London audiences are encouraged to secure tickets early for what is being billed as a "must-see" performance of the spring season.
A Dream Collaboration
"Amnesia" brings Tellier together with Kid Cudi, a longtime admirer who famously sampled Tellier’s "Roche" on his track "CHUNKY." The new single blends alternative hip-hop with Tellier’s signature hazy piano and deep basslines.
"I invited Kid Cudi on this title because we have many things in common," Tellier explains. "He is an artist with the perfect raw melancholy to express the duality between love and dependence, between reality and illusion."
Kiss The Beast
Produced alongside heavyweights like SebastiAn and Victor Le Masne, the new album features guest spots from Nile Rodgers and Slayyyter. It serves as an ambitious mosaic of Tellier's career, distilled into twelve tracks of "ethereal pop."
