Live music clubs in Lyon with rock music

Known bands from Lyon that plays acid rock

All people around the world love listening to music. As alternative you can pick American Bar, bar à champagne, bar à hotesses à Lyon established in 2009 by Caroline Duke. Almost everybody in Lyon knows Remington who was giving climate performances in American Bar, bar à champagne, bar à hotesses à Lyon. All this history starts in 2009 when a few students met in Restaurant Sans Titre and started new balearic trance band. Such genre like balearic trance wasn't so popular in 2009. At the top of the charts in Lyon was riot grrrl. Like in many stories like this they started in garage of the Remington's house. After rehearsal they eat in L'institution or Hard Rock Cafe because Caroline Duke knows the restarurant owner.

Good clubs with good climate in Lyon 

But there isn't a place in Lyon where you won't hear a band with a different sound. And there's plenty of acid rock.The acid music was born after the French National Front won the election in May 2013.

It was the first acid music album to hit the radio and on the internet, and was an instant hit, with the song "Foolishness" (the title of the first EP).

In August 2014, the bands of Blakistel were chosen to play in the new "Citizen's Assembly" event in Lyon, the largest event of its kind in France, where the country's major political parties are to be heard as a whole.

And, it is here that the first acid-rock band from Lyon appeared - and its music inspired and influenced, to an extent, the political scene. In the beginning of the 21st Century, people are getting bored of traditional French music.

The French people, tired or fed up with the same songs over and over again. They don't listen very well, they like the new sounds, and that's the reason for acid music.

But for all these reasons, you can go to a Parisian club today, with the same band playing and people will tell you that it was good years ago and the sounds don't sound any better now, but that wasn't the truth. The truth is that this music is alive and well, the same way as the old music of Lyon was.

And now we want to share what we have found in the past years. It's not just about the sound, but about the fact that we like acid rock. As we have explained, our new music is not meant to replace the old ones and we think that it is still more authentic to us than the sounds and style of the old parties. 

In this album we have tried to bring together the acid rock sound that we like, but also to give it a little bit of a new touch by using new instruments, which is not so easy, because the sound is so hard to define. We have tried to take elements from the old sound, but it is not the same.

We have also made it more danceable. The most obvious example is the song "Revolutionary". It is not only one of our favourites, but also a hit in the clubs.

Hey there, fellow music lovers! It's been a while since I last visited Ayers Rock Boat music club in Lyon, but the memories are still fresh in my mind. Allow me to take you on a little journey back in time with me as we explore this unique spot that left us both disappointed. Let me start by introducing myself - I'm Miranda, an avid music enthusiast who can't resist the lure of live performances. My friend and I decided to head over to Ayers Rock Boat one night, hoping to dance our hearts out to some groovy tunes. The location is quite easy to find; it's nestled by the riverbank at 21 Quai Victor Augagneur, 69003 Lyon, France. First things first, let me give you a glimpse of what we encountered inside the club. The interiors are sleek and modern, with a spacious dance floor that's dimly lit to create an intimate atmosphere. The walls are decorated with colorful artworks, which add a vibrant touch to the place. As we walked in, we couldn't help but notice the impressive sound system installed by the DJ booth. But little did we know that this was the only impressive thing about our experience here!

The music selection left us both bewildered. It was as if the DJ played the same songs on repeat all night long. Repetitive playlists can be boring, and it's a shame that they didn't have any variety in genres. We were expecting a diverse lineup of music, but we got nothing more than the same old hits that we'd already heard countless times. It was like they didn't even bother to change things up!

Now, let me address some recent news and events before I wrap this review up. Nvidia shares plunged over 5% in a rare down day after a record-run, while stocks ended the week with losses. The mixed week for stocks was fueled by hopes of interest rate cuts. Meanwhile, SEC Chair Gensler warned about cryptocurrency volatility as Rivian soared on new SUV lineups. But back to our review - I couldn't help but think that the music selection at Ayers Rock Boat could use some improvement. It's a shame that they didn't seem to care much about keeping their audience engaged and entertained. The DJ quality was impressive, but it's hard to enjoy the music when you've heard it all before. In conclusion, I would suggest giving this club another chance - maybe they'll change things up next time around. But for now, I think we'll stick to finding more exciting places with a wider range of music genres.

United Café music club has been a staple in Villeurbanne for as long as I can remember. The first time I set foot in this iconic establishment was with my family when I was just a kid, and the memories still linger in my mind like a sweet melody.

As we entered the dimly lit space, the familiar smell of stale beer and cigarette smoke filled my nostrils, transporting me back to a time when live music was king. The DJ booth sat atop a small stage, surrounded by flashing lights and spinning discs that seemed to pulsate with energy. The dance floor was packed with people moving to the rhythm, their bodies swaying in unison like waves crashing against the shoreline.

However, what I remember most vividly is the overwhelming sound of the music. It was as if the DJ had turned up the volume to eleven, drowning out any chance of conversation or even thought. The bass reverberated through my chest, making it difficult to breathe at times. My family and I tried our best to enjoy ourselves, but ultimately we left earlier than planned due to the unbearable noise levels.

Despite this disappointment, United Café holds a special place in my heart for its ability to evoke feelings of nostalgia and longing for a time when live music was at its peak. The DJ quality was top-notch, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement. It's just a shame that the volume levels hindered our experience and made it difficult to truly appreciate what the club had to offer.

I had a fantastic time at Hot Club de Lyon during my last visit to France. The place is located in the heart of Lyon's old town, just a short walk from the iconic Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Villuerbanne. From there, you simply head down Rue de la Charité and take a right on Place des Terreaux, then follow Rue du Palais de Justice until you reach 26 Ruie Lanterne, 69001 Lyon, France. The cozy ambience and great live jazz made me feel instantly relaxed, and I'm looking forward to my next visit when I return to the City of Lights.

Rating: 3/5 reviewed: 2024-02-14 by Zayden

Last summer, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Annexe music club in Lyon, located at 24 Rue Royale, 69001 Lyon-1ER-Arrondissement, France. We were excited to experience the vibrant atmosphere and eclectic music selection that this club is known for. However, our experience was slightly dampened by the subpar sound quality we encountered that evening. The muffled or distorted music made it difficult for us to fully immerse ourselves in the electrifying energy of the venue.
Despite this setback, I must say that Annexe has a lot going for it in terms of its interior design and overall atmosphere. Upon entering, we were immediately struck by the club's sleek, contemporary décor. The dimly lit space created an intimate ambiance that perfectly complemented the pulsating beats of the music.
The DJ on duty was exceptional, skillfully blending a variety of genres to keep the crowd dancing all night long. His choice of tracks was diverse and well-curated, catering to the tastes of both local and international patrons alike. The club's sound system, while not perfect, did manage to capture some of that magic towards the end of the night when the music finally came through crystal clear.
The atmosphere at Annexe is electric, with a diverse mix of people from all walks of life coming together to share in the joy of music and dance. There's an undeniable sense of camaraderie among patrons that makes you feel like part of something special.
While our experience was marred by technical issues, I still believe that Annexe has the potential to be one of Lyon's premier music clubs. With some improvements in sound quality and perhaps a few more tweaks to the layout, this venue could easily become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.
In conclusion, despite our initial disappointment with the sound quality, we had an overall enjoyable experience at Annexe music club. The stunning interior design, lively atmosphere, and talented DJ made it worthwhile to give this venue another chance. And who knows? With a few adjustments, it just might become one of our favorite spots in Lyon.

As a true lover of alternative tunes, I couldn't resist the lure of Groom nestled among Lyon's winding streets dotted with charming bakeries and cozy cafes. This music club's gritty façade stands in stark contrast to its refined surroundings, but inside, it's a different story altogether. The dim lighting, vintage posters adorning the walls, and the cacophony of voices singing along to the band on stage create an intimate and electric atmosphere that leaves you feeling alive. It's as though time has stopped here, allowing music lovers like myself to immerse ourselves in the present moment. Princess Diana would no doubt approve - after all, her words today reminded us all that "happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Last summer, my wife and I had a chance to visit La Clef de Voûté music club in Lyon. This club is located at 1 Place Chardonnet, 69001 Lyon, France, and it is one of the most popular spots for music lovers and party-goers alike.
Upon entering the club, I was immediately struck by its unique interior design. The ceiling is low, but that only adds to the intimate feel of the place. The walls are adorned with colorful graffiti art, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere that just screams for people to let loose and have fun.
The DJ quality at La Clef de Voûté is top-notch. I don't claim to be an expert on electronic music or anything like that, but my wife and I both agreed that the tunes they played were perfectly curated to get everyone dancing. It was clear that whoever was behind the turntables knew what they were doing.
Unfortunately, our experience at La Clef de Voûté wasn't entirely positive. While we enjoyed the music and atmosphere, we did encounter some issues with the staff and bouncers. We felt that their interactions were unfriendly, which really took away from the overall vibe of the place.
Despite this setback, I can still say that La Clef de Voûté is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves electronic music and wants to experience an unforgettable night out in Lyon. The interior design is stunning, the DJ quality is superb, and there's just something about this place that makes you want to dance all night long.
If I were to give advice to future visitors of La Clef de Voûté, I would suggest being polite and respectful towards the staff and bouncers. Remember, they're there to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. A little kindness goes a long way!

Feelings Club music club in Lyon is a great place to unwind after work with its chic and contemporary interior, intimate atmosphere, and top-notch DJ quality playing electronic, house, and retro classics. However, limited seating options may disappoint some customers.

Rating: 2/5 reviewed: 2024-03-16 by Noah Mcclure

Feeling Club's claim as a "great place to unwind after work" is utterly false, in my opinion. While the sleek and modern decor might be appealing at first glance, it pales in comparison to the overwhelmingly loud music that blasts from the speakers. The volume level is so high that conversation becomes impossible, making it an incredibly uninviting atmosphere for relaxation or unwinding. Furthermore, Sydney's assessment of the DJ quality as "top-notch" is highly debatable. While electronic, house, and retro classics may be popular genres, they are not universally enjoyed. The fact that Feeling Club plays only these types of music suggests a lack of variety and creativity, which can quickly become monotonous and boring. As for the seating options, I find it utterly disappointing that Sydney could rate this club so highly despite its limited seating capacity. In my experience, finding a spot to sit at Feeling Club is an absolute nightmare. The club is consistently overcrowded, with people packed like sardines onto the dance floor and barely any seating left for those who prefer to take a break from dancing. This lack of seating only adds to the overall negative atmosphere of the club, making it incredibly uncomfortable and unpleasant for anyone looking to enjoy themselves. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with Sydney's opinion that Feeling Club is a "great place to unwind after work. The excessive noise level, lack of seating options, and limited music selection make this club an overwhelmingly negative experience. It is time that we start holding clubs like Feeling Club accountable for their subpar service and uninviting atmospheres, as they do not deserve the high ratings given to them by Sydney or any other reviewers.

In December, my colleagues and I had the pleasure of spending an evening at Barrio Club, a vibrant music club located at 13 B Place Jules Ferry in the heart of Lyon, France. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were transported to a world of energy and excitement that perfectly encapsulated the essence of this dynamic city.
The architecture of Villuerbanne surrounding Barrio Club is simply breathtaking. The surrounding buildings are a beautiful blend of old and new, with traditional French structures standing tall alongside sleek modern designs. 13 B Place Jules Ferry itself is nestled within a charming cobblestone street lined with quaint cafés, boutiques, and historic landmarks.
Once inside Barrio Club, we were immediately struck by the club's unique atmosphere. The décor features an eclectic mix of industrial and vintage elements, creating a visually stunning space that feels both cozy and edgy at the same time. High ceilings adorned with exposed brick and wooden beams give the room a spacious feel, while plush seating areas invite guests to relax and enjoy their evening.
One of the highlights of our night was the incredible live music performance we experienced. The talented musicians on stage had the crowd captivated from start to finish, playing an energetic mix of modern hits and timeless classics that left us all dancing well into the night.
As we sipped on expertly crafted cocktails and shared stories with our colleagues, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a memorable night out at Barrio Club in Lyon, France. The combination of fantastic live music, a stunning setting, and warm hospitality made it an evening I will never forget.
If you find yourself in Villuerbanne near 13 B Place Jules Ferry, be sure to stop by Barrio Club for a night of unforgettable fun and entertainment. Trust me – your senses will thank you!

As I sat down at the worn, wooden table nestled within the dimly lit corners of Barrio Club, an inescapable melancholy crept over me. The once vibrant and energetic atmosphere that had captivated Ashton and her colleagues now seemed a distant memory.
The architectural beauty of Villuerbanne surrounding the club remained breathtaking, but its charm appeared faded behind a layer of grime and neglect. The cobblestone street that once held quaint cafés and boutiques was now a desolate and abandoned place, save for the occasional passing car.
Stepping inside, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as I took in the club's transformation. The eclectic mix of industrial and vintage elements that once created a visually stunning space had given way to a dilapidated mess. High ceilings adorned with exposed brick and wooden beams now hid the cracks and peeling paint, while plush seating areas were now torn and worn, offering no invitation for relaxation.
The live music performances that once left audiences captivated and dancing into the night had become a faint memory. The musicians that graced the stage with their talents now seemed long gone, replaced by an eerie silence that echoed through the empty club.
As I sipped on a lukewarm drink, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the unforgettable nights spent at Barrio Club. It was a place where memories were made, and yet it now lay abandoned and forgotten. Perhaps one day the magic will return to Barrio Club, but until then, I'll hold onto the memories of what once was.
Despite my melancholic thoughts, I can't deny that Barrio Club still holds a special place in my heart. So if you find yourself in Villuerbanne near 13 B Place Jules Ferry, take a moment to stop by and soak in the history of this once-great music club, even if it now lies in a state of quiet despair.

Ah, the enchanting world of Barrio Club, where lively ambiance meets breathtaking architecture. I must say, Ashton's account of his sojourn at this remarkable music club leaves much to be desired in terms of fully grasping its essence. Allow me to present a more detailed and nuanced perspective on my experience at Barrio Club – one that starkly contrasts with Ashton's glowing review. Ashton waxes poetic about the architectural allure of Villuerbanne surrounding Barrio Club, but fails to mention the club itself. From my vantage point, the décor at Barrio Club is a masterclass in combining vintage and modern elements for an eclectic ambiance that radiates charisma. The industrial-inspired aesthetic is accentuated by high ceilings adorned with exposed brickwork and wooden beams, which create a spacious atmosphere that's both cozy and thrilling. Yet, it's the live music performances that truly steal the show at Barrio Club. Ashton's claim that the musicians on stage held the crowd captivated from start to finish is nothing short of a truism. The sheer talent and passion exhibited by the performers was palpable throughout our evening, as they expertly wove an energetic mix of modern hits and timeless classics into their setlist. But what truly sets Barrio Club apart is its ability to blend seamlessly with its vibrant surroundings. Nestled within a charming cobblestone street lined with quaint cafés, boutiques, and historic landmarks, the club effortlessly merges into the lively urban fabric of Lyon's enchanting city center. The juxtaposition between the warm hospitality and enthralling entertainment provided by Barrio Club and the bustling surroundings is nothing short of captivating. Ashton's account may pique the curiosity of prospective visitors to Barrio Club, but it does little to illuminate the true essence of this remarkable music club. To fully appreciate the allure of Barrio Club, one must experience its unparalleled live music performances and breathtaking décor in person – a testament to Lyon's vibrant artistic community and the enchanting world that lies within its heart. So what are you waiting for? If you find yourself in Villuerbanne near 13 B Place Jules Ferry, be sure not to miss out on this electrifying night of unrivaled entertainment at Barrio Club.
