Altın Gün announce their forthcoming North American tour, 2026 Tour Dates. the band will be joined by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and a co-founder of the Levitation Festival” as their opener. Tickets are on sale this Friday, March 27 at 10am local. The tour is in celebration of their album Garip via ATO Records, and in addition to European live dates set through the spring.

Altın Gün’s experimental vision of rock and folk music has led 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. 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. Ertas was a gifted singer, lyricist, and bağlama virtuoso who recorded more than 30 albums and wrote hundreds of songs — some of which were famously recorded by the likes of Bariş Manço and Selda Bağcan.

For Erdinç Eçevit, interpreting Ertaş’s music is a chance to get back to his roots. “Both of my parents are from Turkey, from the same area he is from,” he says. “It’s the music that I grew up with. When I was five, six years old, my grandfather always had cassettes by Neşet Ertaş and I used to listen to it all day long. Then I was too young to really understand the lyrics and the meaning, but I really liked the melodies.”

Now, years later, Eçevit has fully immersed himself in Ertaş’s lyrics — messages from the heart that are, he says, “stories about what he’s facing in life. The Turkish traditional music is the blues of the Turkish people.”

On Garip, Altın Gün recast these songs of longing, heartache, and resilience with the freewheeling verve that has kept them on the cutting-edge of 21st century psychedelic music. They even collaborated with the Stockholm Studio Orchestra to lend a luxuriant, sophisticated feel to various tracks, with arrangements inspired by Egyptian popular music, Turkish Arabesque, and swooning mid-century French and Italian pop.
