Lionheart + Very Special Guests

Lionheart + very special guests at La Rayonne

At La Rayonne, we are proud to host Lionheart + very special guests for a night built around power, precision, and the communal surge that defines heavy music at its most alive. From the moment the doors open, our team will shape the hall for the band’s signature dynamics: fast, punishing grooves, thunderous breakdowns, and the electric dialogue between stage and crowd that West Coast hardcore has exported to the world. As a venue dedicated to intense, high-fidelity live experiences, we are preparing a sound and lighting design that underlines every kick, snare, and shout-along chorus, with clear sightlines across the floor for both the front-row diehards and discoverers arriving out of curiosity. La Rayonne’s Villeurbanne setting makes it a meeting point for fans across Greater Lyon, and this performance promises a rare convergence—an intimate feel with big-room energy, where the band’s decades-honed presence can spill over the edge of the stage and turn the entire space into a living instrument.

Onstage firepower and current momentum

Lionheart arrive at La Rayonne with momentum that is impossible to ignore. In recent seasons the band’s relentless touring and studio focus have sharpened their sound into something lean, ruthless, and immediately engaging. Their latest cycle, anchored by the full-force barrage of Welcome To The West Coast III and the enduring weight of Valley Of Death, has reaffirmed their place at the heart of contemporary hardcore. Expect a set that roams through these chapters with surgical pacing: blistering tempo shifts, hook-laced chants purpose-built for group vocals, and that unmistakable LHHC punch. On our side of the barricade, we will tune the room to showcase the contrast that makes the group so effective—crushing low-end that still leaves space for guitars to cut and for vocals to ride the crest, plus lighting cues that heighten key drops without losing the raw, documentary feel that suits this music. And because Lionheart never travel alone in spirit, the “very special guests” joining them will widen the palette while keeping the energy at a boil, turning the evening into a community snapshot of heavy music now.

For us at La Rayonne, presenting this show is about more than volume; it is about hosting a culture. Our team emphasizes flow—from entry and bar service to how the pit breathes between songs—so the performance can unfold without friction and the audience can move freely and safely. Whether you have followed the band since the early anthems or discovered them through the recent surge around Welcome To The West Coast III, the hall is set to amplify what brings people to Lionheart in the first place: immediacy, resolve, and catharsis. We are curating a night that begins the moment you step onto our site in Villeurbanne: clear signage, quick access to amenities, and a stage build that invites proximity. When the first riff lands and the floor answers back, you will feel why this date stands out on our calendar—La Rayonne hosting a heavyweight of modern hardcore, with very special guests raising the stakes and a room ready to carry every shout to the rafters.
