Matt Hansen

On 9 October 2026, Matt Hansen brings his vocal‑led alt‑pop to KOKO, London. Based in Nashville, the singer and songwriter works at the meeting point of alternative pop and melodic pop rock, with lyrics that lean into intimacy and detail. First active under the name Matthew J Hansen with tracks like “Dancing In The Sky” and “Better Off”, he later streamlined the project as Matt Hansen and focused on a steady run of singles rather than album cycles.

On stage, Hansen builds songs around close, upfront vocals, clean guitar lines and muted keys, anchored by modern, precise rhythms. The writing circles relationships, disillusion and rebuilding, using quiet verses and controlled builds to land choruses that stick without piling on production. The set at KOKO should move between recent singles and earlier material, shaped into arrangements that keep space for the voice and narrative to lead. Expect tight dynamics, a clear melodic focus and a balance of confessional tone with punchier releases, for a show that translates his streaming‑first approach into something direct and immediate in the room.
