Faun "world Hex Tour" - Special Guest : Ye Banished Privateers

World Hex Tour at La Rayonne

At La Rayonne, we are thrilled to welcome FAUN for the World Hex Tour with special guest Ye Banished Privateers, an evening crafted for listeners who crave immersive, ritual-rich performance. As a venue dedicated to living, breathing artistry, we’re preparing our stage and sound to honor FAUN’s intricately layered vocals, ancient texts, and vivid storytelling. The band’s recent cycle around their album Pagan has brought a deeper, darker palette to their music, and this tour frames that evolution with striking live arrangements. Expect recent standouts such as Galdra and Hagazussa to unfold with renewed intensity, alongside beloved favorites that have become modern folk touchstones. Hurdy-gurdy and nyckelharpa will weave through pulsing frame drums, while flutes, harp, and subtle electronics create a cinematic halo. Our team is tailoring the room to let those acoustic timbres bloom—clear, warm, and immediate—so that every whispered invocation and thunderous refrain resonates with our Lyon audience. More than a concert, this is a journey into myth made tangible, and La Rayonne is honored to be the setting where these songs gather light and shadow in equal measure.

How we shape the experience on our stage

For the World Hex Tour, our technical crew at La Rayonne is designing a welcoming, elemental atmosphere that complements FAUN’s worldbuilding. Lighting will trace a path from ember-lit warmth to moonlit silver, with textures that evoke wood, stone, and night skies—never distracting, always in service of the music’s ritual cadence. We’re balancing intimacy and power in the mix, ensuring the round tones of the harp and the grain of the bagpipes sit naturally beside the rhythmic heartbeat of drums and the layered voices that are a hallmark of FAUN’s live presence. Ye Banished Privateers set the tone with raucous, sea-swept harmonies and stomping choruses, their theatrical flair priming the room for collective singing and spirited call-and-response. Our stage team has planned a seamless changeover, preserving the narrative arc from shanty exuberance into FAUN’s spellbinding procession. Arrival music, mindful lighting cues, and a carefully tuned sound field will guide you from the first footstep inside the hall to the final chant—a complete environment designed to draw you in and keep you suspended between legend and now.

From our vantage point, this date at La Rayonne captures FAUN in an especially fertile artistic moment: a band expanding its sonic palette while reaffirming the elemental pull of folk tradition. The World Hex Tour presents new textures without losing the communal spark that has made audiences return year after year, so you might hear freshly cast rituals from Pagan—like Galdra and Hagazussa—flow into the kinetic release of fan favorites such as Tanz mit mir, with the ensemble’s multi-instrumentalists shifting gracefully between dance and reverie. We’ve shaped the room to encourage shared voices in the choruses and quiet breath in the ballads, letting melodies travel unforced and close to the skin. Ye Banished Privateers bring a different wind to our sails: rough-hewn harmonies, battered percussion, and a stage picture that feels pulled from a lantern-lit dock, lending the night a sense of adventure before FAUN’s liturgy of myth takes center stage. As hosts, we strive to make every detail serve the storytelling—sightlines, dynamics, pacing—so the memories forged here sound and feel as vivid as the songs themselves.
