Altin Gün Announce Australian & New Zealand Tour
Amsterdam’s Altın Gün are heading back to Australia in February and March 2027, bringing their Dutch folk, psych-rock and dancefloor grooves to intimate venues and festival stages.
The five-piece will play headline shows at The Night Cat in Melbourne, Metro Theatre in Sydney and The Triffid in Brisbane, alongside appearances at WOMADelaide and WOMAD New Zealand.
Since their 2018 debut On, Altın Gün have been putting their own spin on Dutch folk and Anatolian psychedelia, pairing winding bağlama melodies with wah-wah guitar, heavy basslines, organ and percussion. Drawing on pioneers including Barış Manço and Erkin Koray, it’s a sound steeped in tradition with plenty of room for experimentation – and dancing!
Their fifth album, Garip, pays tribute to legendary Turkish singer, songwriter and bağlama player Neşet Ertaş. The band give his songs of love, longing and everyday life a fresh take, adding funk-rock, synths, slide guitar and strings by the Stockholm Studio Orchestra. For vocalist and bağlama player Erdinç Eçevit, who grew up listening to Ertaş’s music, it’s also a personal nod to the songs of his childhood.
Altın Gün know how to get a room moving. Catch the five-piece up close at their Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane headline shows.
Artist, Promoter & Spotify Presales: Tuesday 20 October 2026 @ 10am local.
General Onsale: Wednesday 21 October 2026 @ 10am local.
