Franck Carducci signs to Esoteric For brand new 2026 studio album 'Sheeple'...
We are proud to announce the signing of acclaimed French progressive rock artist Franck Carducci, ahead of the release of his brand-new studio album ‘Sheeple‘, arriving in Spring 2026. The album will be supported by an extensive live tour, kicking off with an exclusive launch show at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool on 8 April 2026.
Blending the spirit of ’70s rock with modern theatrical flair, Franck Carducci has built a formidable reputation as one of Europe’s most compelling live performers. His music draws on the evocative worlds of Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin and Genesis, pairing powerful, high-energy compositions with atmospheric, dreamlike moments. His spectacular stage show – described as “a surrealistic Rock Circus” by Prog Magazine – has earned rave reviews from across the rock press.
Since 2010, Carducci has released six albums (four studio and two live) and performed over 500 concerts across Europe, including 15 UK tours and major showcases at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, the Cavern Club, and Germany’s Loreley Amphitheater. In 2022 he opened for Sting, who praised him as “a very tough act to follow,” and he has enjoyed longstanding support from Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, who contributed to his second album and hailed his work as “imaginative, varied and strong.”
Carducci’s achievements also include winning the Classic Rock Society’s “Best Overseas Band” award, over 50,000 annual Spotify streams, and a growing online following of more than 26,000 fans.
