Denizli Hierapolis Antik Tiyatrosu

Denizli Hierapolis Antik Tiyatrosu

Pamukkale, Denizli · 1 upcoming events

The Roman-era theatre of the ancient city of Hierapolis in Pamukkale; on the UNESCO World Heritage list. With a capacity of about 12,000 and natural acoustics, one of Turkeys most impressive open-air stages. Hosts concert and stage programs in summer, a wide range from local artists to international names, opera and symphony programs. An experience watched while seated on ancient stone steps; one of the rare venues needing very little sound setup. Being inside the ancient city, entry follows archaeological site rules. The steps get hard during evening programs; its good to bring a cushion and a light cover.

Blind İstanbul

Blind İstanbul

Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 17 upcoming events

In Beyoglu Asmalimescit, on Sehbender Street. This line in Istiklal's back streets is one of the busiest veins of Istanbul nightlife; Blind sits on the electronic side of that vein. Its program alternates between live music and DJ sets: concerts on weekdays, nights running until morning on weekends. A mid-sized venue — close to the stage and the booth, the kind where the crowd touches shoulders. Known more for its music selection than spectacle. Being right in the heart of Asmalimescit means plenty of options nearby before and after the night; walking distance to Sishane and Taksim metro exits, so the trip home is never an issue. There can be a wait at the door on busy nights.

SoldOut Performance Hall

SoldOut Performance Hall

Karşıyaka, Izmir · 3 upcoming events

A performance hall in Izmir Karsiyaka, inside the Mavibahce Mall. One of the few indoor halls active in the city's regular concert calendar. Its program is broad: Turkish rock and pop concerts, stand-up and DJ nights all find a place on the same calendar. Being an indoor venue lets it operate year-round — filling an important gap outside the months of Izmir's mostly outdoor summer program. Being inside a mall makes parking and access easy; close to the Karsiyaka IZBAN and ferry line. A mix of standing and table seating; entry conditions vary by program.

Hyde Beach

Hyde Beach

Bodrum · 1 upcoming events

The beach club area of the Hyde Bodrum hotel in Bodrum Torba. On the sheltered side of the bay; a day flows from pool-and-beach by day into a music program by evening. A typical example of Bodrum's daytime party culture: the program starts in the afternoon, picks up tempo at sunset and extends into the night. Live sets and guest DJs fit into this flow; more of a long, relaxed watch than an intense club night. Torba is close to central Bodrum, making access easy — also a short distance from the airport. Sunbed and table arrangements run on reservation; it fills up early on in-season weekends.

Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Açıkhava

Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Açıkhava

Şişli, Istanbul · 2 upcoming events

Istanbul's most established open-air stage. Located in Harbiye on Taskisla Street, set within a valley adjacent to Macka Park. Named after Istanbul's former mayor Cemil Topuzlu; operated by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB). The amphitheater is orderly, seated and open to the sky. Throughout the summer season it hosts jazz, pop, rock and world music concerts alongside theatre performances. Concerts start in the evening and end before midnight — not for those looking for a late-night club program. Walking distance to Osmanbey and Taksim metro stations. Since it's open-air, it's worth following the venue's announcements before the program in case of rain.
