Altin Gün Announce North American Theater Run In September

Altın Gün, who’ve been conquering the world with their unique mix of Anatolian rock and Turkish psychedelic folk, are heading out on a tour of North American theaters, kicking off Sept. 6-7 with two shows at Vancouver’s The Pearl, and closing Sept. 26 at the Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA – co-presented by Levitation and Desert Daze.

The band is hitting major markets across the continent in rooms like Brooklyn Steel in NY, and The Orpheum in LA throughout the month, taking along Alex Maas of The Black Angels and a co-founder of the Levitation Festival as their opener. Full routing below.

Altin Gün last visited the U.S. in 2023, selling out places like the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR, Nov. 17, 2023 (1,401 tickets moved, $39,400 grossed, according to the box office report submitted for the show). The band also sold out The Neptune in Seattle, WA, moving 1,000 tickets at a $25,500 gross.

They’ll visit both markets this year, as well, playing Revolution Hall in Portland, Sept. 9, and Showbox SoDo in Seattle, Sept. 8.

Altın Gün is also performing at this year’s BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall in London on August 28.

The tour is in celebration of their sixth album Garip, which arrived earlier this year via ATO Records. Garip, which translates to “strange, poor, and alone” in English, is a loving tribute to Neşet Ertaş, a beloved icon of Anatolian music who carried the spirit of the ashik folk tradition into the modern era. Ertaş was a gifted singer, lyricist, and bağlama virtuoso who recorded more than 30 albums and wrote hundreds of songs.

“In reimagining ten Ertaş compositions, Altın Gün carry on his trailblazing spirit — weaving in lush Arabesque string arrangements, bursts of saxophone, glimmering synth balladry, and a fresh surge of tightly wound rock ’n’ roll. Garip is thus a fitting way to honor a figure as titanic as Ertaş, a work that traces Altın Gün’s sonic roots while simultaneously charting an exhilarating path forward,” the tour’s press announcement states.

It is this freewheeling verve and experimental vision of rock and folk music that has kept Altın Gün on the cutting-edge of 21st century psychedelic music, leading them to world tours, opening slots for Tame Impala and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Coachella and Primavera festival stages, and even a GRAMMY nomination.

Altin Gün are booked by Erik Selz and John Bongiorno at ROAM Artists in the Americas, and ROAM’s Sinan Ors in the UK office.
