British alternative rock band Bôa takes the stage at Turkcell Stage on May 9, 2026!

Rising to prominence in 1998 with their breakout single “Duvet”, which became one of the defining tracks of the Japanese cult anime Serial Experiments Lain, Bôa reached wide audiences early in their career. Decades later, when “Duvet” was rediscovered on TikTok, the song resonated with millions once again. Today, with over 450 million streams on Spotify alone, “Duvet” has inspired Bôa to return to the studio and create new music for the first time in 20 years.

Their upcoming album Whiplash, out October 18 on Nettwerk, is a collection of melody-driven narratives. Its title reflects both personal highs and lows as well as the turbulence of our cultural moment, while also offering an invitation to community, resilience, and solace.

Blending nostalgia with fresh new sounds, Bôa bridges generations — bringing together longtime fans who grew up with “Duvet” and a new wave of listeners who discovered the band through TikTok. On May 9, they’ll unite both audiences live at Zorlu PAC.
