%100 Metal proudly presents: Turning melancholy into an art form, Katatonia will once again recreate that magical atmosphere where darkness and emotion intersect—live at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage on May 6, 2026. From the heart of darkness, the most beautiful melodies return to Istanbul. The melancholic voice of metal, Katatonia, will reunite with their audience at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage on May 6, 2026, for the second time. Years after leaving an indelible mark on this city, the band now returns to Istanbul on the threshold of a new era. Formed in Stockholm in 1991, Katatonia moved beyond their early death/doom roots to build a singular dark universe by blending gothic, progressive, and alternative elements. Jonas Renkse’s fragile yet powerful vocals, profound lyrics, and the band’s signature atmospheric textures have transformed Katatonia from more than just a metal band into an emotionally immersive experience. Evolving with each album while staying true to their essence, the band consistently raises the same question: Can melancholy really be this beautiful? With their latest album, “Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State,” Katatonia opens a chapter that is both heavier and bolder than before. The fresh energy brought by new members is clearly reflected on stage. The Istanbul show will be the first glimpse in Turkey of this new era’s dark and captivating atmosphere. Alongside classic Katatonia songs, selections from the new album will shape the night. Combined with Zorlu PSM’s exceptional acoustics, this performance will offer the ideal setting for Katatonia fans—rich in emotional intensity and stage aesthetics. Some nights, it’s not just music that takes the stage—emotions do too. Let’s meet at Zorlu PSM on May 6.
