Covertramp - Hommage à Supertramp

A night with Covertramp - Hommage à Supertramp in Lyon

We are delighted to welcome Covertramp - Hommage à Supertramp to our Lyon stage, where the power and finesse of this legendary repertoire can unfold in all its richness. From the opening piano figure to the final saxophone flourish, the ensemble’s attention to detail brings audiences into the world of meticulously crafted melodies, layered harmonies, and sleek rhythmic drive. Expect signature moments built around the crystalline keyboards and the vocal interplay that defined an era, with set highlights that honor favorites like The Logical Song, Breakfast in America, Dreamer, School, and Give a Little Bit. For our team, hosting this concert is about more than nostalgia; it is about celebrating the vitality of songs that continue to speak to new listeners. The performance at Bourse du Travail Lyon is shaped with care—sound check by sound check, cue by cue—so that every dynamic shift, from intimate ballad to soaring anthem, lands with clarity and warmth for the audience.

Artistic focus and a living legacy on our stage

Covertramp’s current show underscores the living legacy of these works, balancing crowd-pleasing hits with deeper cuts for devoted fans. The band’s musical direction takes special care with the contrast between introspective textures and full-band crescendos, allowing the emotional arcs of songs like Take the Long Way Home, Goodbye Stranger, and Crime of the Century to bloom naturally. Their refined vocal blend mirrors the dual spirit at the core of the original catalog, while the instrumental color—saxophones, pianos, and precise percussion—keeps the arrangements vibrant and alive in the room. From our vantage point in Lyon, we value artists who approach iconic material with both humility and character. This is a performance crafted for theaters, not just arenas: it breathes, it invites listening, and it rewards attention with moments of sheer musical conversation. The setlist often weaves in longer pieces such as Fool’s Overture or Rudy alongside luminous mid-tempo gems, giving the evening a narrative pace that suits the acoustics of our hall and the appetite of a city that loves its concerts thoughtful and dynamic.

As presenters, we shape the experience so that the storytelling within each song is matched by an environment designed for immersion. Our technical crew tunes the balance around the sparkle of the Wurlitzer, the resonance of grand piano tones, and the edge of the sax—those colors that make Supertramp’s music instantly recognizable—while lighting choices are timed to underline transitions from reflective verses to sweeping choruses. In practice, that means the chiming joy of Breakfast in America feels immediate, the tension-release of School hits with precision, and the bittersweet lift of Give a Little Bit radiates across the rows. The program is generous without rushing, offering space for fans to savor introductions, sing along to Dreamer, and lean into those instrumental passages where the band stretches just enough to make the familiar feel freshly minted. If you have been waiting for the right night to rediscover these songs in a setting made for detail and emotion, Covertramp - Hommage à Supertramp in Lyon is that occasion—a performance calibrated for connection, sound, and the kind of musical memory that stays with you long after the final applause.
