On Sunday 16 November, +1 brings Liverpool duo King Hannah to Salon İKSV for their long-awaited Istanbul debut. Known for their moody atmospheres, slow-burning intensity, and cinematic sound, King Hannah have quickly become one of the most exciting new names in alternative rock. Tickets are available via Passo.
Formed by Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle, the duo began creating together after meeting in Liverpool. Their chemistry was immediate, with Merrick’s haunting vocals and Whittle’s evocative guitar work combining to create music that feels intimate yet expansive. King Hannah’s songs often start with a quiet tension, gradually building into walls of sound that evoke everything from shoegaze and Americana to the raw honesty of folk.
Their breakthrough debut album I’m Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me (2022) introduced listeners to a world both dark and tender, filled with long shadows, confessional lyrics, and a sense of drama that feels tailor-made for late nights. The record earned international acclaim and positioned the band as rising stars capable of balancing vulnerability with explosive power. Tracks like “A Well-Made Woman” and “All Being Fine” showed their mastery in shifting from whispered confession to cathartic release.
King Hannah’s music has been praised for its ability to capture cinematic moods while maintaining a deeply personal edge. Their live shows bring this duality into sharp focus, enveloping audiences in soundscapes that feel both vast and close at once. For their Istanbul performance at Salon İKSV, King Hannah promise an evening of raw emotion, hypnotic storytelling, and unforgettable atmosphere.
