Concerts, theater, exhibitions, and more.
Barcelona's legendary festival of advanced music and creative technology returns to the Bosphorus, bringing Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, and Polo & Pan to Zorlu PSM's stages across multiple nights. The lineup balances visceral club heat with more cerebral electronic textures — Apparat and Laurel Halo sharing a bill with Gerd Janson is no accident. Istanbul's standing as one of the region's most serious electronic music cities makes this edition feel particularly charged.
Babylon, Istanbul's most storied independent music venue, keeps the old Bomonti brewery district alive well past midnight with a rotating cast of local and international selectors. Electronic and alternative sounds fill a room that has been shaping the city's nightlife conscience for decades. Arrive after eleven; the night only deepens from there.

Arkaoda's weekend nights are the heartbeat of Kadıköy after dark — a rotating cast of local and visiting DJs pushing electronic and indie sounds through a room that never takes itself too seriously. The multi-level venue spills between an indoor bar and an open courtyard, giving the night a loose, sociable rhythm. Come late, stay later.
