Airbourne - Tournée

Airbourne at Transbordeur: High-Voltage Rock in Lyon

At Transbordeur, we are thrilled to welcome Airbourne for a thunderous stop on their tournée, a night built for roaring guitars, fists-in-the-air choruses, and the kind of sweat-soaked communion only a true rock-and-roll band can spark. Our room is purpose-built for shows like this: a wide, open floor for the faithful down front, clean sightlines that keep the energy connected all the way to the back, and a finely tuned sound system that lets the riffs bite without losing the grit. Airbourne arrive with their reputation for fast, hard, and louder-than-life sets, and we’re matching them with lighting that hits like a stack of amps and engineering that gives every cymbal crash, bass thump, and gang vocal the punch it deserves. The bar service, merch spaces, and crowd flow are set to keep you close to the stage and the action; our team knows the pace of a heavy night and will keep the show moving from doors to encore. If you’ve seen Airbourne tear through a room before, you know what’s coming; if you haven’t, Transbordeur is the right place to feel that first shock wave.

Momentum, Muscle, and a Set Built to Ignite

Airbourne land in Lyon riding sustained momentum from relentless touring across Europe and beyond, a live-first philosophy that has made them one of the most dependable adrenaline shots in contemporary hard rock. From the primal crunch of Boneshaker to the pedal-down attack of Breakin’ Outta Hell, the band’s catalog begs to be played at stage volume, and our hall is dialed to deliver precisely that—no compromise, no half measures. Expect a set that swings between bruising rabble-rousers and breakneck singalongs: “Runnin’ Wild” and “Live It Up” are near-certain eruptions, while “Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast,” “No Way But The Hard Way,” and “Girls in Black” have become rite-of-passage moments for crowds from Melbourne to Madrid. Fans of their more recent material will listen out for the gritty stomp of “Backseat Boogie” and the throttle of “Burnout The Nitro,” songs that prove the band’s fire hasn’t cooled a single degree. And yes, the lore is real: Joel O’Keeffe’s can-cracking, crowd-surfing bravado is as much a part of the spectacle as the band’s locomotive rhythm section and jet-engine twin guitars. We’ve staged our security, pit access, and lighting cues to keep that spontaneity wild yet safe, preserving the chaos you want and the care you need.

What does that mean for your night at Transbordeur? It means the volume will be honest and the mix muscular; the kick drum will hit you in the chest while the solos slice clean on top. Load-in to lights-out, our crew treats this tournée date as a celebration of connection: doors managed to minimize queues, bars positioned for quick refuels, a merch zone where you can grab a tee without missing the opening riff of the next song. We encourage early arrival to catch the full arc of the evening—our room is designed to build atmosphere as it fills, and when Airbourne take the stage, every corner of Transbordeur amplifies the roar. Whether you’ve followed the band since the blast of Runnin’ Wild or you’re coming in hot because a friend swore their shows are unmissable, we’re ready to host the kind of night you’ll talk about for years. Lyon’s rock crowds know how to bring it; Airbourne always bring it; and Transbordeur exists for precisely this collision of sweat, speed, and celebration. Bring your voice, your leather, and your best air guitar—we’ll take care of the rest.
