Lazuli - „Être et ne plus être Tour 206“
The five-member French band Lazuli embodies prog rock with world music influences – mystical, lyrical, progressive, rock-oriented, enchanting.
Anyone who has ever experienced Lazuli's incredible musical blend live must inevitably fall for them. Elements of progressive rock, chanson, folk, and world music meet the most astonishing sounds and intense percussion storms. There aren't enough boxes to put Lazuli's music into. And for those who need comparisons for this inherently incomparable music, perhaps the description “King Crimson meets Peter Gabriel” provides a vague yet inadequate explanation.
Lazuli also draws on an extraordinary range of instruments: Marimba and vibraphone are already very rare representatives on rock stages, yet these instruments are not as unique 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 enriched by a complete, never-before-heard sonic cosmos.
The upcoming tour is titled after the current album “Être et ne plus être” (translated: “To be and no longer to be”), which will be released on January 30, 2026. The band describes the essence of the album again in their typical manner:
“Step by step, case by case, a 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 pen on paper, built, deconstructed, and rebuilt; we spent time and didn’t see how it passed – hours of exploring, doubting, wandering, meeting our monsters and phantoms, rising from gravity into heavenly spaces, euphoria and melancholy, skill and clumsiness, seeking our paths or being lost at the brink, balancing on the edge, filled with certainties or leaving our fate to chance … what chaos! All of this indeed looks like life, like so many seeds sown into the micro grooves … and twelve songs are born. Once again, this is the fruit of our collective womb, a bit of organized noise, interrupted by sighs and silence, and finally another record to spin…”
The concerts that Lazuli have played in Europe so far have left an amazed and completely enchanted audience, and critics have sung their highest praises. Thus, former Marillion frontman “FISH” spontaneously and wholeheartedly took the band on tour as a support act after seeing them at the Night of the Prog Festival.
The band has long outgrown its status as an insider tip. They have earned an excellent reputation among a discerning and grateful listening audience. Lazuli is a band for curious people. Those who engage with this music will be rewarded a thousandfold for their openness.
