London has its gem, and it’s shining on every stage in the world. Nilüfer Yanya has a voice that’s instantly recognisable, a signature sound that’s part indie rock, part mellow pop and part soul. This London singer-songwriter has established herself as one of the most captivating voices on today’s alternative scene.

Three albums under her belt, three monumental slams.

My Method Actor, her latest jewel, released in September 2024, has got everyone on the same page: The New York Times, The Guardian, Pitchfork, VOGUE… All hail a work as intimate as daring, where intoxicating melodies and chiselled riffs merge in a hypnotic quest for identity. In this new album, which marks a new step in her meteoric rise, Nilüfer Yanya raises questions with no obvious answers. With its haunting melodies, meticulous arrangements and subtle balance between fragility and power, My Method Actor is an introspective plunge into the world of delicate strings, vibrant rhythms and floating harmonies. An album that asks: Who are we? Why do we follow these paths? What remains at the end of the journey?

Prior to this album, PAINLESS and Miss Universe had already won over the critics, ranking among the best records of the year according to The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork and Vulture. Since then, Nilüfer Yanya has performed on the most prestigious stages: from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to Later… with Jools Holland, and of course NPR’s legendary Tiny Desk Concert.

Her talent has led her to share the stage with Adele, The xx and Mitski, but it’s as a solo artist that she blew up, selling out venues across Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia. Her collaborations with Sampha, King Krule and Little Dragon have confirmed her status as a key artist. Nilüfer Yanya is no shooting star: she’s here to stay.

On stage, she captivates, electrifies and mesmerises. Her voice, sometimes caressing, sometimes cutting, sinks in and leaves an indelible mark. Between hypnotic vocal runs and raw energy, her magnetic charisma promises a concert of exceptional intensity. A unique, suspended moment to be experienced on 17th July at the Dour Festival!
