Lazuli „Être et ne plus être“ Tour 26, französischer Progrock, mystisch, rockig, mit der weltweit einzigartigen Leode
The five-member French band Lazuli embodies prog rock with world music influences – mystical, lyrical, progressive, rocking, enchanting.
Anyone who has ever experienced Lazuli's incredible musical mix live is bound to fall for them. Elements of progressive rock, chanson, folk, and world music meet the most incredible sounds and intense percussion storms. There aren’t enough labels to categorize Lazuli’s music. And for those who need comparisons for this inherently incomparable music, perhaps the description "King Crimson meets Peter Gabriel" can provide a vague yet insufficient explanation.
Lazuli also relies on an exceptional instrumental setup: marimba and vibraphone are already very rare representatives on rock stages, but these instruments are not as special as the strange string instrument called "Leode," which Lazuli developed themselves and of which there is only this one example in the world. The band's sound is thus enriched by a complete sound cosmos that has never been heard before.
The upcoming tour bears the title of their current album "Être et ne plus être" (translated: "To be and not to be") which will be released on January 30, 2026. The band describes the essence of the album once again in their typical way:
"Step by step, case by case, one day in darkness, another in openness, head over heels, tossed back and forth by the twists of a roller coaster ride, we plucked guitars, scratched with a pen on paper, built, deconstructed, and rebuilt; we spent time and did not see how it passed – hours of exploring, doubting, wandering, encountering our monsters and phantoms, rising out of gravity into heavenly spaces, euphoria and melancholy, skill and clumsiness, of seeking our paths or being lost at the edge, balancing on the brink, filled with certainties or leaving our fate to chance … what chaos! All this indeed looks like life, like so many seeds sown into the micro grooves … and twelve songs are born. Once again, here is the fruit of our collective womb, a bit of organized noise, interrupted by sighs and silence, and finally another record to put on…"
The concerts that Lazuli has performed in Europe so far have left an astonished and completely enthralled audience, and critics have sung their highest praises. Former Marillion frontman "FISH" spontaneously and enthusiastically took the band on tour as a support act after seeing them at the Night of the Prog Festival.
The band has long outgrown the status of a secret tip. They have made an excellent name for themselves among a discerning and grateful audience. Lazuli is a band for curious people. Those who engage with this music will be rewarded a thousandfold for their openness.
