Monthly open jam session at Kraspek Myzik, Lyon

Kraspek Myzik

Kraspek Myzik, a small music venue on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse hill in Lyon's first arrondissement, holds its monthly jam night under the title Kick in the Jam on a Wednesday. The invitation is open to singers, rappers, guitarists, bass players, drummers and horn players, who are asked to come with their instrument for live and hybrid music in a warm, festive atmosphere. A drum kit and two guitar amplifiers are provided, and you can bring your own sticks and jack cables. Sign-up happens on the spot. Entry is free, but the venue asks for a two-euro membership of the association Lerockepamort, which is why the price is shown as €2.00. Doors open at 20:00 and we assume the night ends about 23:00. It is a good way to meet local musicians, or simply to listen. «KICK IN THE JAM | MER. 18.11» Starts 20:00, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Shotgun (open data).

Myra, YAPI tour, at Le Marché Gare, Lyon

Le Marché Gare

On Thursday 19 November 2026 at 20:00 Le Marché Gare in Lyon hosts Myra on her YAPI tour. The listing says she asserts herself as a singular voice of the new French scene: author, composer, performer and actress, she sculpts an organic music carried by a deep, smooth voice. After a series of remarkable projects, including Saudade Palace, Passion Câlins and Après la Pluie, she revealed in January 2026 her first album YAPI, conceived and recorded under the Greek sky, among landscapes that echo her origins, as a return to her roots. The page calls it a sound patchwork that is deep, danceable and deeply comforting. With the YAPI tour she extends this search for identity on stage, in concerts that the text calls generous, vibrant and deeply human, more like transgenerational parties where the audience is invited to sing, dance and celebrate being together. The listed times are 20:00 to 22:30. Tickets start at 24.72 euros. A warm, communal concert is easy to enjoy alone. «De véritables fêtes transgénérationnelles où elle invite le public à chanter, danser et célébrer.» Starts 20:00, ends about 22:30.

Majora and Allo Daphné: pop double bill at Kraspek Myzik, Lyon

Kraspek Myzik

On Friday 20 November 2026 the Kraspek Myzik, a small concert venue on the Croix-Rousse slopes in Lyon, presents a double bill of Majora and Allo Daphné. Majora is two nostalgic fans of the 1980s exploring what they call sunny melancholy, with old synthesisers, vocal harmonies, groovy bass, electronic sequences and hazy guitars. Allo Daphné brings French nu-disco pop, a retro sound with romantic melancholy inspired by the 80s and 90s and by the groove of Shalamar and Chaka Khan. Doors open at 20:00 and the concerts start at 20:30. Tickets are listed at 6, 9, 11 or 16.50 euros, plus 2 euros for membership of the association Lerockepamort, and the lowest price is used here.

Bar BU

On Wednesday 25 November 2026 the Bar BU on the Quai Bondy in Lyon hosts the Ariane Quintet as part of the Culture Bar-Bars festival. The listing describes klezmer, music born in the traditions of Eastern European Jewish communities, full of joy, nostalgia and fervour, and enriched by Balkan, Romanian, Gypsy, Mediterranean and even jazz influences. It calls the sound a nomadic, festive and sensitive breath, and says the quintet stays faithful to tradition while mixing oriental influences with the soul of a music for dancing and for the heart. The listing gives no ticket price, so check at the bar. The page is in French.

Palooka Tom Waits tribute trio at Bistrot Fait sa Broc, Lyon

Bistrot Fait sa Broc

On Saturday 28 November 2026 at 19:00 the Bistrot Fait sa Broc in Lyon, on the Croix-Rousse slopes, hosts Palooka, as part of the Culture Bar-Bars festival. The trio, with double bass, violin and guitar and three voices, revisits the poetic and slightly esoteric world of the American songwriter Tom Waits. The listing promises about two hours of an emotional journey through the America of the margins, where every song becomes a story, a breath and a confession. The listing gives no price, so check with the venue before you go. Storytelling songs suit an evening alone very well, because the lyrics give you something to follow and the room tends to be quiet and attentive. A small bistro is also a comfortable place to sit with a drink, and the long listed window from 19:00 to 23:30 lets you plan dinner before or after the set. «dans le cadre du Festival Culture Bar-Bars.

The listed slot runs from 20:00 to 23:00, so you can arrive a little late and still catch most of the set. «dans le cadre du Festival Culture Bar-Bars.

He began at 14 under the name Stan le Fantôme and lives from his music and small jobs as a sound engineer.

Salle Molière

On Wednesday 9 December 2026 at 20:30 the Salle Molière in Lyon hosts HK in Le jour où j'ai rencontré Brel, a chanson show recommended for audiences from age 12.

Between daydream and reality, HK tells how Brel burst into his life one day, instilling the idea that to realise your childhood dreams it is often enough to want to and to dare to go and meet them. Accompanied by a cellist and by a pianist and guitarist, he sings some of Brel's most emblematic songs while telling his own story, that of a child who became an artist and an artist who stayed a child.

Tonique & Man live, groovy pop, at Ninkasi Cordeliers, Lyon

Ninkasi Cordeliers

On Saturday 30 January 2027 at 19:00 the Ninkasi Cordeliers in Lyon hosts Tonique & Man in concert. The listing says that since 2022 Jean Tonique and Mi Man have built, under this name, a groovy and luminous pop with analogue synthesizers, careful vocal harmonies and warm arrangements. The duo has made its mark with a precise balance, that of immediate melodies that never need to force themselves. After their first album Opening Soon, released in 2023 and built around a very marked pop universe, they return with Where We're At, in which the groove and the sense of song remain, but the perspective changes: the album refocuses on the essential, two musicians and more embodied songs, with a wish to let a more nuanced pop be heard.

Thx4Crying and Incendie in concert at the Péniche La Marquise, Lyon

Péniche, La Marquise

On Thursday 11 March 2027 at 20:00 the Péniche La Marquise, a boat venue on the Rhône in Lyon, hosts Thx4Crying with Incendie. The listing quotes the line that a strange life awaits us, and says that to give meaning to it Florian Vinayagam Bertonnier built a double: it is no longer only the teenager from the island of La Réunion who grew up in Picardy who speaks to you, but Thx4Crying, an artist with saving songs and dark, cathartic lyrics of a soothing lightness. It describes the first album as deeply personal and universal. The price is from 17.99 to 22.99 euros, with tickets sold through Shotgun, and the evening runs from 20:00 to 22:30. A concert on a boat moored on the quay is an easy night out alone, since the room is small and the crowd is there for the same artist. «Profondément personnel et universel.» Starts 20:00, ends about 22:30.

MØL, Danish blackgaze, in concert at Rock n'Eat Live, Lyon

Rock n'Eat Live

On Thursday 11 March 2027 at 20:00 Rock n'Eat Live in Lyon hosts the Danish band MØL, listed as blackgaze. The listing says that with Dreamcrush, their new album due on 30 January 2026 on Nuclear Blast, the Danes continue the evolution begun with Jord and Diorama. The band explores the duality of dreams: able to carry us and give us something to believe in, they can also become oppressive when expectations collide with reality. Through eleven tracks, MØL deal with loss, grief, identity and self-acceptance. The price is from 23.99 to 25.99 euros, with tickets sold through Shotgun, and the evening runs from 20:00 to 22:30. A standing metal-leaning show is easy to join alone, since the crowd is there for the same band and the room is a big shared bubble of sound. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to loud music. «Les Danois de MØL poursuivent l'évolution amorcée avec Jord et Diorama.» Starts 20:00, ends about 22:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Shotgun (open data).
