Ezhel in Sofia on November 15 - the Turkish rapper with 18 million listeners returns to Joy Station after a sold-out show

Ezhel, one of the biggest names in Turkish hip-hop and alternative urban music, returns to Sofia on November 15, 2026. The show lands at Joy Station, two days before his Skopje gig on November 17. It is his second appearance in the Bulgarian capital after a sold-out 2024 show - a clear read on how big his pull is across the region.

The artist - real name Sersar Sahin, born in Ankara in 1991 but Berlin-based for years - is an author who blends Turkish rap, alternative hip-hop, reggae-fusion and Anatolian rock. The style makes him one of the most recognisable names of post-2018 Turkish urban music. With 5 studio albums, roughly 18 million monthly Spotify listeners and hits like Geceler, Sahibinden Sahilden, Imkansizim, Felaket and the Murda collab Olabilir, he is one of the biggest names on Europe's contemporary hip-hop scene.

The Live in Europe 2026 tour hits Bulgaria's, Germany's, the Netherlands' and the Balkans' major cities. Ezhel's shows are famous for their energy, full live band, and the combination of a rap delivery with live instruments. Joy Station is a club with capacity of around 1500 in industrial Sofia, and one of the most recognisable alternative venues in town. With demand this high, the show will likely sell out fast.

Tickets are available via ticketstation.bg. The show kicks off in the evening on Sunday, November 15, 2026. Given that Ezhel also plays Skopje on November 17, both dates are part of the same tour - fans in central Macedonia may prefer Skopje. For those in eastern Macedonia, closer to the Bulgarian border, Sofia is an alternative that isn't that far.
