Live Music Locations in Istanbul
Live Music Locations in Istanbul
Istanbul always has live music to offer, whether it's from a well-known international performer or one of Turkey's most well-known popular rock bands. Whether it's a big arena with sold-out tickets or a small club with live music on a tiny stage, we've put together a list of our favorite live music venues.
Asmalimescit
The old Babylon venue in Asmalimescit was legendary for its live music, and almost everyone has a memory associated with one of its many late-night concerts. At Babylon, many performers had their stage debuts, and the venue's new location in Bomontiada has contributed to the creation of new memories in a significantly wider region. Jazz is among the many genres of music performed at Babylon, which is located in a former beer mill.
49 Cukurcuma
A jazz bar in Cihangir named 49 Cukurcuma stands out for its original concept and aesthetic, making it one of the best places to listen to jazz music or perhaps see a great live performance. In fact, you may get a taste of it by reading the entrance sign that reads "Pizza, Coffee, Jazz." It's also one of the few places in Beyoglu where you can escape the bustle of the city. In addition to offering its patrons wonderful meals, 49 Cukurcuma also offers a calm and serene setting. The restaurant offers a wide selection of pizzas on its broad pizza menu, including several that are exclusive to the establishment. If you want a place to unwind and enjoy delicious food, 49 Cukurcuma is your best choice.
Salon IKSV
Salon is a place for performances of music, drama, and literary works. It is a branch of IKSV (Istanbul Foundation for Cultural and Arts), which organizes the majority of the main cultural events in the city. Onstage performances of classical, jazz, rock, alternative, and world music are more frequent than those of more well-known artists. The calendar for this year spans from October to the end of May and include acts including Efterklang, Mammal Hands, Anna RF, and Local Natives.
