Kiosk

Kiosk are a distinguished Persian rock ensemble originating from Tehran, widely recognised for their distinctive fusion of blues, rock, and jazz influences. Formed in 2004 and currently based in Iran, Kiosk have garnered acclaim for their wry, socially observant lyrics, which artfully confront themes of Iranian cultural experience and contemporary angst. Their ability to blend genres has made them a significant voice in the Iranian underground scene, setting them apart as pioneers of alternative music from the region.

The band’s prolific discography includes the critically regarded live album "Condition Orange (Live)" and the evocative "Triple Distilled: Live at Yoshi's." Their recent albums, such as "Sweet Destiny" (2021) and "Desolateville" (2023), further demonstrate their commitment to evolving soundscapes within the rock genre. The group’s catalogue features evocative tracks like "A Little Bit of This," "Adameh Mamooli (Ordinary Man)," and "Afsoos," each exemplifying their masterful approach to songwriting and genre blending.

Kiosk have been active on the British live music circuit, recently headlining YES (The Basement) in Manchester and supporting acts such as J'CUUZI at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. In September 2027, Kiosk are billed as headliner at VOLKS in Brighton, and they are set to support Adult DVD at Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, in October 2026.
