Ludwig Von 88 ( Tournée )

Ludwig von 88 at La Rayonne

At La Rayonne, we are thrilled to welcome Ludwig von 88 for a night that celebrates the enduring charge of punk, the thrill of collective energy, and the mischievous wit that has made this band a cult fixture across generations. From the moment we confirmed the date, our team has been buzzing: this is the kind of concert that reminds a room why live music matters. Ludwig von 88 have long mastered the art of turning sharp social observation into a party—equal parts humor and urgency, melodic hooks and raw bursts of sound. Their shows are a joyous collision of pogo-ready rhythms, sardonic lyrics, and a stage presence that leans into theatricality without ever losing punk’s essential punch. Hosting them in Lyon is a statement of intent for us: to champion artists who keep moving forward, who treat the stage as a living laboratory, and who meet an audience with disarming sincerity and unruly fun.

Inside the experience at La Rayonne

We are preparing the room to capture the band’s trademark contrasts: a bright, biting guitar tone that slices through air, basslines that swing between groove and grit, and drums that push the crowd to the front with relentless momentum. Our sound engineers are tuning the system to keep vocals crisp and immediate—so that every shout-along chorus and every tongue-in-cheek line lands with the intimacy of a club and the impact of a festival. Expect a set that navigates the band’s history with agility: they love to stitch old favorites to newer material, to shift tempos without warning, and to pull the audience into the show’s narrative through playful asides and spontaneous call-and-response moments. The La Rayonne team is building a visual environment that amplifies this spirit—no gimmicks for their own sake, just lighting and cues designed to lift the energy, spotlight the interplay between bandmates, and keep the room feeling close-knit even at full tilt.

Part of the excitement around this date comes from the band’s current creative momentum. Ludwig von 88 have leaned into a renewed phase of activity with a confidence that feels both timely and timeless, channeling the same irreverence that first set them apart while sharpening their vantage point on the present day. Fans who have followed their evolution know that the group rarely treats a tour as a simple retrospective; our conversations with their team reinforce that the show at La Rayonne will be a living snapshot of where they are now. Expect adrenaline and satire in equal measure, a setlist that jumps the rail between eras, and the kind of inclusive, good-natured chaos that makes punk welcoming rather than gatekept. We are proud to host a band that still pushes forward—testing new arrangements, refreshing classics with unexpected twists, and leaning into the communal magic that only happens when an audience and an artist meet in a room. This is exactly the kind of night La Rayonne was built for: a high-voltage gathering with heart, humor, and a citywide sense of occasion in Lyon.
