About the event

Turkish pop

After an almost sold-out show last year, we’re coming back for more—because we didn’t get enough. As part of the 10th anniversary tour of her album Kayıp Aşklar Ülkesi, Kalben returns to London on June 5, 2026, at The Garage. With her velvet-like voice, emotional intensity, and undeniable energy, Kalben turns the stage into a shared, intimate space where songs become conversations and the audience becomes part of the moment. 

This special night marks one of the European legs of her anniversary tour, celebrating a decade of music, stories, and connection, with Güneş Özgeç opening the night.

Age Restriction: 14+; under 16s must be accompanied by an adult; no under 14s admitted at any time.

Who is Kalben?

Kalben is an artist who treats her songs as confessions and her concerts as sincere, safe meeting spaces. Drawing from folk, blues, and indie pop, she weaves vulnerability and strength together, expressing deep emotions through simple yet striking lyrics.

Her stage is a place where love, loss, freedom, and the courage of being human are spoken out loud.

Transforming the audience from listeners into participants at every show, Kalben celebrates her 10th year as an artist with Land of Lost Lovers, released in 2026. Standing out within her rich discography—alongside albums such as Sonsuza Kadar, Kalp Hanım, and Eski Dünyanın Yangını, as well as numerous singles, duets, live recordings, and EPs—this album is considered one of her most profound and grounded works, both vocally and lyrically.

Having toured for over a decade from Berlin to Mardin, New York to Diyarbakır, Kalben openly shares the memories and emotions she has gathered along the way, bringing together everyone who has walked this journey with her.

The Land of Lost Lovers tour—marking Kalben’s most free and fearless era—continues.

About the venue

The Garage

The Garage is an iconic live music and club venue located in Highbury, North London. It opened in 1993 and has a capacity of 600 in its main room, with an additional upstairs room, known as The Grace, holding 150. The venue quickly established itself as a premier destination for indie and rock music, hosting a wide array of renowned artists early in their careers, including Green Day, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, The Killers, and Jack White. Originally a Temperance Billiard Hall, it underwent a significant revamp in March 2017 after being taken over by DHP Family in 2016, which included a new layout, bar, and sound and lighting system. Beyond indie and rock, The Garage also hosts diverse genres such as hip hop, folk, EDM, and electronic acts. It is a staple of North London's nightlife scene and continues to bring music and cultural events to the community.

Address: 20-22 Highbury Corner London, N5 1RD Greater London, United Kingdom
