Held in 2019, the "Burgazada Music Festival" returned for its third edition, bringing a rich and diverse selection of music to the enchanting atmosphere of Cennet Bahçesi.
The festival featured Neon Lies from Croatia, delivering a solo performance reminiscent of John Maus, and offering dark, minimal wave tunes inspired by the "She Past Away" school. Following this, Brek, who had recently released the single "Gece Beni Almadan" after his album "1990," captivated the audience with his velvet voice and nostalgic melodies.
Next, Robin, an electrifying figure in Turkey's punk rock scene, took the stage with his single "Film Sarmazsa Seni İzlerim," released via Hypers Music. Known for his raw, wild, and expressionistic performances, Robin brought an intense energy to the festival.
Later, Görkem Karabudak, a multi-instrumentalist renowned for his work with bands like "Gaye Su Akyol," "Bubituzak," and "Çilekeş," impressed the audience with his debut EP "Kontra," showcasing his mastery in music production.
On the second day of the festival, Klan and Hayvanlar Alemi, two instrumental psychedelic rock bands with over a decade of creating kaleidoscopic musical worlds, entranced listeners with their hallucinatory storytelling. Morunay, a post-punk band from Eskişehir, delivered sharp, atmospheric guitar melodies inspired by the jangly minor riffs of the 1980s.
Finally, Sunset Stream, a dream pop band blending melodic guitar reverbs with ethereal, high-pitched vocals, brought a perfect blend of sorrow and joy to the closing act. Their optimistic melancholia left a lasting impression on all attendees.
