Föhn live in Lyon

Experience Föhn live on August 27th

Föhn is scheduled to perform in Lyon, France on August 27, 2026. The musical project, led by Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Davide Favaro, generally falls within the broader categories of post-rock and ambient music. Föhn’s compositions are characterized by expansive soundscapes, utilizing layered guitars, atmospheric textures, and often incorporating elements of field recordings to evoke natural environments – particularly those associated with mountainous regions, reflecting the band's name which refers to a warm, dry downslope wind originating in the Alps. Their work frequently explores themes of isolation, memory, and the power of landscape.

Lyon is a city situated in east-central France, historically significant as a Roman settlement (Lugdunum) established in 43 BC. It served as a major administrative and commercial center during the Roman Empire and later became a prominent hub for the silk industry from the 15th century onwards – a legacy still visible in the city’s architecture and cultural identity. The city is located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and boasts a UNESCO World Heritage-designated historic center known for its Renaissance architecture and *traboules* - hidden passageways used by silk workers.
