Kriill at La Marquise: an intimate night on the river

From our moored stage on the Rhône, we are delighted to welcome Kriill aboard La Marquise for a night that plays to the strengths of our riverside venue: closeness, clarity, and a sense of shared momentum between artist and audience. Our hull carries the natural warmth that suits Kriill’s dynamic range, while our room’s tight geometry puts you within arm’s reach of the performance—close enough to read the interplay, to feel the nuance of every rise and release. La Marquise has always favored artists who thrive on immediacy, and Kriill’s live identity—equal parts finesse and force—fits that ethos perfectly. Expect a set that breathes: passages that simmer and glow, sudden surges that push the room forward, and a rhythmic backbone built to travel through the wood and water beneath your feet. For us, hosting Kriill is about bringing a distinct, contemporary pulse to the river at night, and creating the conditions for a show that lingers long after the final notes dissolve into the city’s lights.

Recent artistic momentum, up close and on the water

Kriill arrives at La Marquise with an energy that has been steadily building across recent months, evident in the project’s evolving textures and onstage confidence. There’s a tension in their latest live approach—meticulous detail against a visceral, physical drive—that we’ve been eager to stage in our intimate setting. You can hear the group leaning into contrast: lithe melodic lines set against dense rhythmic figures; restrained, glassy passages that suddenly bloom; grooves that hit with precision before opening into expansive, exploratory sections. The conversation around Kriill has increasingly focused on this dual nature—studio-minded craft meeting the spontaneity of performance—and that is exactly what our room rewards. We’re prepared for a show that breathes organically, with sections that stretch where the moment calls for it, and finely cut sequences that land with the kind of impact our onboard system is designed to deliver. Whether you’re tracking their ascent from early gigs or meeting them here for the first time, this is a chance to experience that current artistic momentum in its most immediate form, with the water carrying every resonance just a little farther into the night.

On the night at La Marquise, we’ll shape the experience around Kriill’s dynamic architecture: a front-of-house mix tuned for punch without sacrificing detail, lighting that moves from nocturnal shimmer to bold, sculptural strokes, and floor space designed for uninterrupted sightlines from rail to stage. Our crew works with the artist to frame each transition—those subtle pivots from hush to surge—so the set feels both fluid and sharply defined. Come early to settle in at the bar with a view of the Rhône; the boat’s gentle motion adds its own cadence before the first note sounds. Once Kriill takes the stage, expect a narrative arc that favors momentum over spectacle, clarity over clutter, and a live chemistry that plays beautifully in a room where you can feel the air move when the low end blooms. Getting here is simple—La Marquise sits in the heart of Lyon’s banks—so plan your route, step aboard, and let the space do what it was built to do: bring artist and audience into focus. This date with Kriill is a statement of what our venue stands for—precision, proximity, and performances that turn a night on the river into something rare and memorable.
