A Reunion to Remember: 127 Returns to the Stage in London
Join us on January 25, 2024, at Rich Mix in London for the highly anticipated reunion concert of 127, one of Iran's pioneering alternative music bands.
For the first time in years, the original lineup—Sohrab Mohebbi (vocals and guitar), Salmak Khaledi (trombone), Sardar Sarmast (piano), and Yahya Alkhansa (drums)—will reunite on stage to deliver an unforgettable performance.
Founded in 2001 by a group of visionary artists in Tehran, 127 is an independent band that has played a pivotal role in Iran's progressive cultural landscape. Their music seamlessly blends Persian lyrics with Western influences, tackling both local and universal themes of frustration, isolation, and hope.
Over the years, the band has inspired a generation of Iranian youth, shaping the sound of many emerging musicians. Despite not performing together for over a decade, they continue to resonate with thousands of online listeners, leaving a lasting impact on Iran’s non-mainstream music scene. Their influential albums, including Khal Punk, Pop Emergency, and In Your Own Way, remain vital contributions to the cultural tapestry of the country.
