Altın Gün means ‘golden day’, and the six band members experience it themselves. This critically acclaimed band breathes new life into traditional Turkish folk music with a unique blend of psychedelic rock, deep funk, synth pop and cosmic reggae. The result? An irresistible and hypnotic sound. Since their debut album “On” (2018), Altın Gün has made a splash on the music scene worldwide. A year later, the album ‘Gece’ earned a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album.
The band, founded by bassist Jasper Verhulst, draws inspiration from retro-Anatolian records from the sixties and seventies, in which the influence of bands such as The Doors and Led Zeppelin can be heard. Live, Altın Gün is a true sensation: from Coachella to Lowlands and Primavera Sound, they turn venues and festivals upside down with their performances.
On Sunday, August 10, Altın Gün will play a show in the open-air theater of the Amsterdamse Bos! We can’t wait to experience this golden day with you. Make sure to be there!
