As one of Turkeys biggest pop stars and a defining name across the SWANA region, EDIS is set to make his first major push into Europe in November 2026.

Born in London and raised in Izmir, Edis Grgl is now a household name from Istanbul to the Gulf, with over a billion YouTube views, multiple number-one hits, and major accolades including Best Male Artist at the Golden Butterfly Awards. A Vogue Turkey cover star, he stands among the most influential pop artists in the region. His 2021 single Martlar became one of Turkeys most-streamed songs of the year. His 2025 album Bachi-Bouzouk has since extended his reach across the region and his arena shows in Istanbul and beyond have long drawn crowds that go well beyond Turkeys borders. Last summer he performed at Dua Lipas Sunny Hill Festival.

Turkish artists are reaching global audiences at an unprecedented scale, with international streams grow ing rapidly over the past decade. As streaming continues to break down language barriers, non-English music is becoming more exportable than ever. The question is no longer whether a Turkish pop artist can break globally, but who will do it next, and when.

EDIS is the answer most likely to happen first. This European run, through some of the continents finest mid-capacity rooms, is a rare chance to be early. Come November, the crowd will not be exclusively Turk ish.This and performance music doesnt require translation.
