Omar Souleyman - VEGA

On April 17, 2026, Syrian singer and synth wizard Omar Souleyman returns to Store VEGA in Copenhagen. With his direct vocal delivery and a mix of dabke, heavy electronic beats and melodic keyboards, he transforms the hall into a line of dancers and unleashes punchy, danceable energy. His songs draw on Middle Eastern scales but are propelled by a club tempo that makes tradition and techno feel like a natural unity on stage.

Souleyman released Erbil last year, an album full of pace, tight grooves and hypnotic passages that earned praise from outlets such as Resident Advisor. The release adds to a string of notable chapters in his catalogue: Wenu Wenu from 2013, produced by Four Tet, and To Syria, With Love from 2017 on Diplo’s label, anchor his sound between local party music and the global dancefloor. Live, it is precisely this tension that sustains the concert: repetitive hooks, sharp synth lines and a voice that draws the audience into the rhythm. After stops at festivals like Roskilde, Bonnaroo and Glastonbury, he returns to Store VEGA—ready to get Copenhagen moving.
