Wishbone Ash

Wishbone Ash will stop at La Rayonne in Villeurbanne on Thursday, 23 April 2026. Formed at the turn of the 1970s, the British band distinguished itself with twin-lead guitars, an immediately recognisable sound that blends rock, blues and touches of jazz. This approach influenced an entire scene—from Iron Maiden to Thin Lizzy—and remains at the heart of their musical identity.

In a generous discography, Argus and Pilgrimage occupy a special place, with their carefully crafted melodies and harmonised guitar lines that made the band famous. On stage, Andy Powell leads the current lineup, fronting on guitar and vocals, and continues to keep this repertoire alive while staying true to the spirit of the group.

At La Rayonne, the set is expected to move between the anticipated classics and rarer tracks, covering several chapters of a career spanning more than fifty years. Fans of twin-lead, enthusiasts of progressive rock, and anyone who enjoys interplaying guitars will find plenty to immerse themselves in a solid page of British rock.
